Building a consolidated view of water-related challenges Water consumption issues at our production sites are addressed through the Group’s Environmental Charter, with management, optimization, and withdrawal-reduction plans in place. To go further, the Group has decided first to develop a consolidated and systemic view of water-related challenges, with an initial assessment phase at Group level. This work will begin in 2026. Malting operations account for the vast majority of the Group’s water withdrawals. Over the past ten years, Malteurop has reduced its water consumption by 26 %, thanks to its Manufacturing Excellence program. To continue this progress, Malteurop launched the Jouvence program in December 2023. Its objectives are to maintain best practices in water use, optimize effluent treatment, and identify innovative solutions to go beyond the savings already achieved.

We are all aware that, as farmers, we must make efforts and look after the environment if we want to be able to pass on our working tools to our children. I found AgriBEST® very easy to use; it’s an excellent way to see where you stand and to highlight good practices on your farm.
