Products Made from Natural Raw Materials
“Using nature to create” captures what has set us apart since 1928: harnessing the versatile properties of natural raw materials to develop innovative product solutions. We use potatoes and peas to develop functional ingredients and solutions for the food industry, animal nutrition, and technical applications. In doing so, we combine the natural properties of our raw materials with our expertise and innovative strength.
EMSLAND POTATO COUNTRY
Despite an export ratio of over 75 percent, we nonetheless think and act in a down-to-earth manner. We grow our potatoes as close as possible to our processing sites and do so in close cooperation with our home in the Grafschaft Bentheim region. Moreover, our peas are harvested exclusively in European countries. To that end, we prioritize sourcing our potatoes as locally as possible and ensuring our peas come from Europe, in order to keep transportation distances short. Our motto: Think globally, act locally.
Resources and Agriculture
As a manufacturing company, our responsibility does not begin in the factory, but out in the fields. That is why, throughout our value chain, we focus on the conditions under which our potatoes and peas are grown. In particular, we prioritize soil quality and health, the long-term availability of our raw materials, and the responsible use of natural resources.
The future of our industry depends, among other things, on the security of our raw materials, soil health, and the ability of plants to adapt to changing climatic conditions. That is why we collaborate with research institutions and our suppliers to exchange knowledge and develop new approaches to the cultivation and processing of our raw materials. In this way, we aim to help ensure that potatoes and peas remain available as important raw materials for our products in the long term.
Pflanzenbasierte Innovationen aus der Kartoffel
Unser engagiertes Team arbeitet kontinuierlich an der Entwicklung von Produkten für wachsende nachhaltige Trends, wie z. B. Fleisch- und Molkereialternativen. Durch die Herstellung von pflanzlichen Alternativen zu tierischen Produkten trägt die Emsland Group dazu bei, den globalen Trend zu umweltfreundlicheren und nachhaltigeren Optionen für die Lebensmittelindustrie voranzutreiben.
Mit der Veröffentlichung dieses Berichts möchten wir Kunden, Lieferanten und Mitarbeiter sowie der Öffentlichkeit, die in der Nähe von Produktionsstätten und Anbauflächen lebt, einen transparenten Einblick in unsere Bemühungen um nachhaltige Praktiken in unserer gesamten Wertschöpfungskette geben.
