Zinpro Corporation released its 2022 Sustainability Report, Advancing Performance Together® for a More Sustainable World for All.
“It’s important to recognize that while animal agriculture has in fact been advancing sustainability for thousands of years, the animal protein industry is faced with new challenges, increasing consumer demands, evolving nutritional needs and climate expectations,” said Terry Ward, Zinpro global director of sustainability. “This report demonstrates the positive impact we are making on animals, the planet and people by partnering closely with our employees, customers and key industry stakeholders.”
In the report, Zinpro shares examples of how proven animal nutrition improved the health, well-being and production efficiency of not only animals but producers’ businesses – strengthening the case for nutrition as a critical component in driving more sustainable outcomes.
The research showed that by partnering with Zinpro to build nutrition plans with sustainability in mind, the company’s customers experienced favorable results, including increased shrimp survival rates, biomass and feed conversion ratios.
In addition to research findings, the report details the ways in which Zinpro continues to support the global animal agriculture industry. Safety remains fundamental to the company’s approach and is the foundation for its four sustainability pillars: environmental, economic, technical and social.
“At Zinpro, we recognize the need for continuous evaluation and measurement as part of our work,” said Ward. “To help us prioritize and effectively chart a course for our future sustainability progress, we developed a materiality matrix.”
Zinpro worked with a third-party firm on its materiality matrix, which will help identify the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues of critical importance to stakeholders and the business. The top three areas of focus include product quality, safety and compliance; animal health and welfare; and supply chain management and labor conditions.
