    Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility

    Senson's Growing Forward strategy integrates sustainability into every aspect of operations, not as a bolt-on initiative, but as a core business principle across three pillars:

     

    Climate Action

    Senson has fully transitioned to green and nuclear electricity, eliminating fossil fuels and biomass from production.

    Target: Zero Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions per kg of product by 2027, without carbon offsetting. 

     

     

    Circularity

    93% of environmental footprint comes from upstream activities. Side stream upcycling and material loss minimisation are central priorities.

    Target: 10% of sales from zero-emission, upcycled, or regenerative products by 2027.

     

     

    Social Responsibility

    Active investment in employees including formal education opportunities, near-equal gender pay, and a safe, inclusive workplace culture.

    Progress measured via EcoVadis and Sedex with annual internal reviews.
