By 2025, we aim to significantly reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions from our industrial production by 25% by 2025 compared to 2016 emissions.

This target was already achieved in 2020, when emissions were 27% lower than in 2016. Carbon dioxide emissions have been reduced by increasing the use of renewable energy sources such as solar energy and by increasing the use of bio-based fuels for heat production

The most significant environmental impacts of food production along the whole chain are in primary production. Our other partners, both retailers and consumers, also have responsibilities. We are working to ensure that a carbon-neutral food chain is possible throughout the chain – from farm to fork.

Our experts support farms in developing sustainable primary production. We encourage our primary farms to adopt energy-efficient solutions, use renewable energy sources and minimise waste, putting animal welfare first.

Reducing food waste is an effective way to reduce the climate impact of the food chain. New ecological packaging innovations help consumers reduce waste.

In industrial production, we have been working on waste reduction for a long time - it is an obvious part of our business.

Improving productivity in primary production and healthy animals also contribute to reducing waste. Atria's experts support producers in developing sustainable primary production. Quality systems enable comprehensive monitoring at farm level, including economics, feed, condition management and animal welfare.

We work closely with industry research to identify the environmental impacts of our operations and the food chain as a whole. Only then can we target development measures correctly.

This means, for example, research to find out the actual emission factors for emission sources, taking into account Nordic conditions, and cooperation with the industry to standardise calculation principles. We want the environmental impact of our food chain to be considered in a fair, transparent and comparable way.

Using carbon and environmental footprint calculations helps Atria to verify the effectiveness of the measures taken in the chain and to ensure the right direction of development measures.

We actively monitor and support technological development and related research in the industry. We contribute to the development of technologies with business potential and new innovations by applying them to our operations.

We already operate one of the largest solar power parks in Finland, in Nurmo. We are also involved in wind power and biogas plant projects.
