Au cours de ces dix dernières années, Konings s'est consacré à son ambition de rendre l'entreprise plus durable en investissant sérieusement dans le flux de travail opérationnel. Il y a cependant encore un long chemin à parcourir. Nous nous adressons donc à l'ensemble de nos parties prenantes : faites en sorte d'être aussi durables que possible et faites la différence !
Nous avons déjà pris des mesures importantes, par exemple en bannissant les chlorofluorocarbones (CFC) de nos installations de réfrigération, en optimisant nos chaudières à vapeur et en utilisant l'eau et l'air comprimé plus raisonnablement. Même la pulpe des fruits se voit offrir une deuxième vie. Nous avons opté pour un éclairage LED et recourons à l'énergie solaire afin de disposer d'énergie verte dans nos usines. À Boxford, nous utilisons même deux bioréacteurs, alimentant ainsi une grande partie de l'usine en énergie verte.
Our planet calls for action, and at Konings, we take our responsibility seriously. By making conscious choices in our production processes and collaborating with sustainable partners, we reduce our CO₂ emissions. Electrification and the use of renewable energy help us minimize our ecological footprint. Step by step, we are working to reduce our carbon footprint—not only within our own operations but throughout the entire production chain.
Energy is essential to our processes and has a significant impact on our environmental footprint. That’s why we focus on two key areas: first, using energy more efficiently by minimizing waste and optimizing consumption; and second, increasing the share of renewable energy, including self-generated power from solar panels.
As a water-intensive company, water is a precious resource and our most important ingredient. We reduce our water consumption, improve wastewater management, and explore innovative ways to reuse water. This ensures that water is not wasted.
We generate waste at our production sites and throughout the value chain. By optimizing processes and reducing waste, we minimize the creation of waste streams. For the remaining waste, we ensure reuse or recycling.
Our ful'fillers are the driving force behind our sustainability strategy. By giving them opportunities to learn and grow, we not only enhance their skills but also strengthen our organization. Training, knowledge sharing, and innovation projects contribute to a culture of continuous improvement. Together, we are building a sustainable future where everyone thrives.
