Corporate Social Responsibility

The  combination of its  two  core activities  – Food  and Ingredients  – has enabled VION Food  Group to take up a unique and inherently sustainable position. The by-products of the VION Food companies are processed by VION Ingredients  to create value. No raw materials  are wasted  and VION has even managed to close the loop where energy consumption  and energy production are concerned. VION companies  obtain green energy from their sister company Ecoson, energy created by digesting residual products from VION companies and other sources.
 
'Pushing back and adding'
In its own production processes, VION Food  Group has adopted the following strategy  as regards  sustainability: ‘pushing back’ the use of energy, water and raw materials, something which is a central theme in our Food companies. In our Ingredients companies we focus on ‘adding’: we process and utilise by-products of animal origin and turn them into high-quality products and energy. There is no other company of our size that considers its core business to be both producing foodstuffs and adding value to the by-products that are thereby generated.
