Partnership with Emmi 2018
Emmi has set the target of reducing the environmental impact of milk processing. The focus of the collaboration with WWF is placed on the reduction of CO2 emissions and food waste in production.
Climate and energy
Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1&2)
Emmi has set itself the target of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2020 compared to 2014. The equivalent tons of CO2 are measured. The scope of application comprises Scope 1&2 in accordance with the GHG Protocol for all business areas of Emmi global.
Emmi has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 19% compared to 2014 by the end of 2018 (absolute actual value 2018: 114,486 tons CO2 equivalent).
Comment: The 2016 figures (including baseline) are currently still estimates and were corrected for 2017. Additionally, the figures now include coolants and effective numbers for fuels internationally. The reductions were mainly achieved through switchovers to more eco-friendly power (nationally and internationally).
Food waste
Reduction in Food Waste
Emmi has set the target of reducing food waste by 20% compared to 2017 before 2020. Measured are the proportions of food waste in percentage. The scope of application comprises all of Emmi's own production operations, globally.
In 2018, the proportion of food waste increased by 2% over the previous year.
Comment: Emmi recorded its food waste in accordance with the FLW Standard for Swiss production companies for the first time in 2017. It is currently not possible to collect figures for Emmi globally. Higher volume of food waste in 2018 as a result of higher production volumes and reduced processing of whey into food. Work on a sustainable solution to process more whey into food is ongoing.
