Kemin’s Sustainability Journey: People, Planet & Business

At Kemin, we understand the importance of sustainability in today's world. Guided by our core values and a vision for a better future, we have developed a comprehensive sustainability program that combines our vision through three different lenses: Healthy People, Healthy Planet, and Healthy Business. In this article, we will delve into our commitment to sustainability and outline the actionable steps we are taking to make a positive impact.

Healthy People

Our first priority is the well-being of our employees, customers, and the communities in which we operate. We believe that by fostering a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment, we can empower individuals to thrive both personally and professionally. From stringent safety protocols to ethical business practices, we uphold the highest standards to ensure the health and happiness of all stakeholders.

Healthy Planet

The health of our planet is intrinsically linked to our own well-being. Recognizing the urgent need to address climate change and environmental degradation, we have set ambitious goals to reduce our carbon footprint and minimize our impact on the environment. One of our key initiatives is the reduction of carbon emissions across our operations, with a long-term  ambition of achieving net-zero emissions in our manufacturing facilities by 2050. Through investments in renewable energy, efficiency improvements, and lifecycle assessments, we are compelled to transform today into a better tomorrow.

Healthy Business

Sustainability is not just a moral imperative; we see it necessary for businesses to survive long-term. Our commitment to sustainability is ingrained in every aspect of our business, from product development to supply chain efficiencies. By integrating sustainability throughout our business, we foster our curiosity towards changing demands and strive towards a secure future.

Actionable Steps Towards Sustainability

To achieve our sustainability goals, we have implemented three action pillars, let’s zoom in to environmental sustainability:

Environmental sustainability

• Commitment to CO₂ Reduction: We are dedicated to reducing CO₂ emissions at each of our locations.
• Transition to Renewable Energy: We are investing in renewable energy sources such as solar installations to minimize our carbon footprint.
• Lifecycle Assessments: We conduct comprehensive lifecycle assessments for our products, analyzing environmental impacts upstream and downstream, using vigorous verification and validation to assure accuracy.

Our Promise to You

Transparency and accountability are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to reporting on our sustainability goals, both short-term and long-term, with a scientific mindset. Furthermore, we strive to develop products that not only meet the changing demands of our world but also contribute to reducing your carbon footprint, as well.

Conclusion

At Kemin, sustainability is more than just a goal; it is a journey. By prioritizing the welfare of people and the planet through the integration of sustainability across the areas of our business, together, we can make a difference – for ourselves, for future generations, and for the planet we call home.
