Sustainability is a common thread that runs through everything we do at DSM – and has done for years. The reason is simple. We don’t want to be successful in a world where the ice caps melt; coral is decimated; millions are left homeless and destitute due to climate change; while hundreds of millions remain undernourished. It was humans that caused this situation. But we really do have the power to change it…
We believe so strongly in sustainability that the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are now woven into our strategy.
Sustaining healthy lives for all means better nutrition (especially for the world’s vulnerable) - and all within planetary boundaries.
The race is on for our society to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to a level where we can avoid ecological catastrophe. It’s a race we believe we can win.
As the world’s population continues to grow, we need to stop using up its natural resources - and find new ways of reducing waste. Which is exactly what we’re doing.
DSM has received a positive European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) opinion for the use of its novel methane-reducing feed additive for ruminants, Bovaer®, in the European Union. The EFSA opinion confirms that the feed additive reduces enteric methane emissions from dairy cows and is safe for the animal and the consumer.
