The work on climate- and resource-efficient chicken production covers the entire value chain: both Scandi Standard’s in-house processing operations and the supplier stage with feed production and breeding, transport, and the customer and consumer stages. Efforts to increase efficiency and reduce food waste run through the entire value chain, with the basic notion that every chicken and the whole chicken counts – making sure that every single chicken thrives and is reared in a resource-efficient manner, and that as much of the chicken as possible is turned into good food is one of the most important initiatives that we can implement in order to reduce our environmental and climate impact.

Environmental impact from our operations and value chain

The work on climate- and resource efficient chicken production covers the entire value chain: both Scandi Standard’s in-house processing operations and the supplier stage with feed production and breeding, transport, and the customer and consumer stages. Efforts to increase efficiency and reduce food waste run through the entire value chain, with the basic notion that every chicken and the whole chicken counts – making sure that every single chicken thrives and is reared in a resource-efficient manner, and that as much of the chicken as possible is turned into good food on plates is one of the most important initiatives that we can implement in order to reduce our environmental and climate impact.

Sustainable packaging

The legislation states that all plastic packaging in the EU must be able to be reused or recycled by 2030. Scandi Standard’s packaging strategy focuses on minimizing the amount of plastic used wherever possible. We then have to prioritize clean, non-composite materials, and choose recycled and thinner materials where possible.
