Alltech has released the 2022 Alltech Sustainability Report, which demonstrates the actions the company is taking to align the business with its commitments to the United Nations Global Compact, the U.N. Ten Principles, the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals and Working Together for a Planet of Plenty.

"Today, climate change threatens agricultures ability to feed the world's growing population. Fortunately, the world's best problem solvers are on the case," said Dr. Mark Lyons, president and CEO of Alltech. "We believe agriculture has the greatest potential to positively shape the future of our planet and that is why Alltech is uniting the agri-food community in Working Together  for a Planet of Plenty. It's not just our mission, it's our purpose."

Alltech is committed to the efficient production of nutritious food while working to minimise its carbon footprint and helping producers worldwide find and implement solutions to their sustainability challenges.

Through data and stories from Alltech team members around the world the 2022 Alltech Sustainability Report emphasises the role of agriculture in combatting climate change and creating healthy, sustainable food systems. It also included information about Alltech's emissions reduction goals, efforts to promote sustainability and the ways in which Alltech is advancing environmental actions in the industry.

additionally, the report outlines the steps Alltech has taken to promote an inclusive work environment and highlights its team members' efforts to make a difference in the communities in which they live and work.

"By adopting new technologies, improving business practices and embracing innovation, the agri-food industry is working together to harness the power of human ingenuity and the sustainable science of agri-food to create a planet of Plenty, and we are honoured to be part of it," said Dr. Lyons.
