Jungbunzlauer embraces environmental transparency by disclosing through CDP
Jungbunzlauer is pleased to announce an enhanced commitment to environmental transparency by disclosing its environmental impact through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a global non-profit organisation that operates the world’s leading environmental disclosure platform.
Operating energy and water-intensive processes, Jungbunzlauer takes its corporate responsibility seriously and has been transparently disclosing information through CDP since 2018. In 2023, Jungbunzlauer once again completed CDP's questionnaires on climate change and water security.
Jungbunzlauer’s data will be added to the most comprehensive inventory of self-reported environmental data in the world – helping to drive action through greater transparency. By disclosing through CDP, Jungbunzlauer is prepared to respond to the increasing demand for environmental transparency from financial institutions, customers and policymakers.
In its disclosure, Jungbunzlauer shared data on environmental impact of its operation of large scale industrial fermentation as well as in downstream operations and from the supply chain. Updates on achievements of near term SBTi targets are provided as well, providing a transparent assessment on the climate actions that we already took. In the water questionnaire we provided an assessment in terms of water stress for the water sources we use.
Sustainability is an integral part of Jungbunzlauer's strategy. Our mission “From nature to ingredients®” represents our commitment to protecting people and their environment: In the naturally occurring process of fermentation, we use sustainable raw materials to manufacture ingredients that lead to healthier and safer products and processes – healthier and safer not only for humans but also for the environment.
