The Emsland Group has joined the Science Based Targets initiative and is committed to developing science-based emissions targets over the next two years in order to achieve the 1.5 degree and net-zero 2050 climate targets. Our aim is to achieve the second target even before then.
The SBTi provides a comprehensive guide on how companies can develop and submit their emissions targets. It also includes information on the respective criteria that must be adhered to when developing the targets so that they can be verified as “science-based”.
With our commitment to the SBTi, we are sending a clear signal for climate protection.
The Emsland Group can be found on the SBTi website alongside all other companies that have also made a commitment or already have validated targets: https://lnkd.in/eHE7ZAwX

Mecklenburger Kartoffelveredlung GmbH is presenting a completely new and own brand concept at Anuga 2023, which has a national focus. With this major step, the Mecklenburg company wants to completely revitalize its range of dried potato products and, in addition to a fresh, modern design, focus more strongly on its own corporate culture. From the results of market research, it became clear that customers want regional products, which at best come directly from the farmer. The Emsland Group has a unique position here, as the potatoes come from the farmers who also own the processing factories. The added value thus begins in the field and remains with the farmer until the finished product. This also explains the brand name “Echt vom Feld” (“Genuine from the Field”), which, according to Christian Kemper, Managing Director for Sales and Marketing in the Emsland Group, describes the story behind the products very well in three words. This is also very well received by retailers, who can view the concept at Anuga. The first visitors were very interested and rated the new brand concept very positively.
The Emsland Group and the SCU Volleyball club are both household names in the community around our headquarters in Emlichheim, Germany, with many residents having a personal connection to both. That’s why we would like to introduce you to some of our employees with a behind-the-scenes glimpse into their professions and hear how they are engaged in their local community with SCU Volleyball.
Join Jana Berlinke as she takes you through our company laboratory and hear the exciting story of how SCU Volleyball is the reason she now calls Emlichheim her home.
More than 1400 visitors celebrated the Family Festival at the Emsland Group for the first time on July 26, 2023. A day full of games, fun and good food! The relatives and children of our employees had the chance to gain an insight into the Emsland Group and, above all, to enjoy themselves and spend a great day on the premises in Emlichheim. Around 400 visitors arrived in the morning. This number was then more than doubled again in the afternoon. Around 1000 family members came together to celebrate the family festival at the Emsland Group.
Both the morning and the afternoon started with an official welcome by the managing directors Stefan Hannemann and Christian Kemper. Afterwards, everyone was able to take advantage of the varied and wide-ranging program and get to know the Emsland Group better in a familiar and festive setting.
Children could let off steam on bouncy castles and a bungee trampoline, enjoy refreshments at a paddle boat station and have a cool design put on their face at the children’s face painting session.
At the same time, guided tours of the WaltrAut, the Innovation Center and the wastewater treatment plant also took place throughout the day. A special highlight was the pathway railroad. Families were able to explore the entire site in a comfortable and entertaining way. During the tour, the tour guides not only provided interesting information, but also ensured a good atmosphere with short singing performances.
There was also a photo booth where many families had a souvenir photo taken, which they could then take home with them.
Where there is so much to see and explore, there are of course also hungry people. These could help themselves to a large range of food in various food trucks. Whether suckling pig from the grill, fresh fish, classic snack specialties or falafel – there was something for everyone. Of course, an ice cream as dessert was not to be missed.
In addition, all visitors received a ticket for the big raffle, which took place the following day at the company party. This gave them a chance to win great prizes. These ranged from vouchers to technical equipment to an e-scooter or a Weber grill.
The family festival was a great success! We would like to thank all families and especially the colleagues who organized and implemented this great day!
The first “Apprenticeship Day” was a complete success! More than 35 interested students accepted our invitation and visited the Emsland Group in Emlichheim to learn more about the training opportunities.
After an official welcome by CEO Gerrit-Jan Wesselink and Human Resources Manager Jan Lambers-Heerspink, the participants were divided into five groups, in which they then went through various stations. They were able to get to know the apprenticed professions of industrial mechanic, electronics technician, chemical laboratory technician, chemical technician and warehouse logistics specialist in more detail and were also allowed to test their skills in various areas by performing practical tasks themselves. For example, they drove forklifts, carried out a chemical titration, measured the density of a starch slurry, made an extension cord or a key chain.
One or the other discovered new talents on the “Apprenticeship Day”, took away some things for their personal future planning and possibly even found their dream job.
We ended the day together with a delicious buffet and an exciting raffle. Finally, all those who were interested had the opportunity to take part in a tour of the company.
We hope that all students had an exciting time with us and that we will soon be able to enrich our team with new talents!
SCU Volleyball is a very big deal in Emlichheim. It also plays an important role for many employees of the Emsland Group. We used this connection to introduce you to some colleagues of Emsland-Stärke GmbH and at the same time to present their relation to SCU Volleyball.
Jana and Lisa Oudehinkel start off by showing you what their job in the customer service department at Emsland-Stärke is all about and why volleyball is the perfect balance for them. The sisters are also super successful — they recently celebrated the championship in the regional league and thus the promotion to the 3rd league!
June 17, 2023, 2 p.m. – Fire alarm at Emsland Food GmbH in Cloppenburg!
A total of ten emergency vehicles and over 40 comrades from the Cloppenburg fire department gradually arrive. The fire is on the first floor of the industrial building. Human lives are in danger. Four people are missing. The fire department is able to fight the fire, rescue three people from the upper floor and recover an unconscious person from the first floor. Suddenly, another incident occurs. A completely enraged employee reports a colleague missing in the supply tunnel. The comrades fight their way through an extremely narrow, warm and filled tunnel to the trapped person. With extreme caution, they are able to free the person successfully.
What sounds like a real incident was fortunately only an operational exercise!
The idea for implementing the annual exercise of the Cloppenburg fire department at Emsland Food GmbH came from Jens Hohendorn, occupational safety specialist and himself a member of the fire department. Together with city fire chief Horst Lade and group leaders Clemens Kenkel and Oliver Karg, the exercise was planned and organized for months – of course under strict secrecy.
Two operational scenarios were created under real conditions in order to evaluate the Cloppenburg Fire Department’s ability to deal with both the operational command and the processing of the tasks set. At the same time, of course, the technical and organizational fire protection of the Emsland Group could be put to the test and the interaction of both parties could be improved.
Special thanks go to the plant manager from Cloppenburg, André Brinkman. He has supported the action from the beginning and made it possible.
This exciting and spectacular day ended with a joint debriefing and refreshments. “It was a complete success – everyone was more than happy,” emphasizes Jens Hohendorn.
