“Tereos has an extremely ambitious decarbonisation plan. For scope 3, we aim to reduce our CO₂ emissions by 36% by 2032 and to source 20% of raw materials from regenerative agriculture among our cooperative members. The TRANSITIONS programme aligns perfectly with this ambition.” David Sergent Secretary General, Tereos “Our 2030 ambition is for 80% of our raw-material portfolio to come from sustainable sources — certified, for instance, under FSA– SAI, GLOBALG.A.P. or Rainforest Alliance — including 25% from regenerative agriculture. We have evaluated many programmes across Europe, and TRANSITIONS is clearly among the best. Its strengths are its maturity, its whole-farm coverage, the fact that it is not limited to a single crop, and the robustness of the data provided. We want the TRANSITIONS programme to grow, to provide greater volumes and a wider range of ingredients by integrating new crops. And an international roll-out is also of interest to us, as we operate in many countries.” Florian Plomion Procurement Manager, Griffith Foods Europe “Thanks to the regenerative practices implemented as part of TRANSITIONS over the coming years, we are committing to significantly reducing our products’ carbon footprint and offering our customers low-impact ingredients.” Ugo Sidoli Head of Sustainable Development, Etea Sedamyl “Talking to agri-food companies and working closely with technology experts has proven to be the most effective for delivering high-impact projects.” Géraldine Bernard Global agriculture sustainability lead, Heineken “It is important to show our clients that we are genuinely engaged in a sustainability programme. In the retail sector, we are seeing rising demand for sustainable and low-carbon products, because consumers are increasingly sensitive to these issues.” Johan Declerck Raw Materials Manager, Vandemoortele 21
