Nachhaltigkeit
In der gesamten Lieferkette legen wir großen Wert auf das Wohl der Lebewesen und des Planeten. Wir schaffen laufend Innovationen und investieren in Projekte, die mit dieser Vision in Einklang stehen.
Wir bei United Petfood arbeiten mit gesunden, lokal bezogenen Zutaten, bieten nachhaltige Verpackungsoptionen, verwerten unsere Abfälle und priorisieren erneuerbare Energiequellen. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist unser Produktionsstandort in Coevorden: Dank unserer 1480 Sonnenkollektoren können wir jährlich 1.750 Tonnen CO2-Emissionen einsparen!
Nachhaltigkeit bedeutet für uns mehr als die Verwendung umweltfreundlicher Materialien und alternativer Energiequellen. Unsere Geisteshaltung verpflichtet uns in allen Dingen zu ethischen Praktiken. Wir legen großen Wert auf das Wohl unserer Mitarbeiter und bieten ihnen ein sicheres, positives und anregendes Arbeitsumfeld.
