Ingredients Sustainability Handbook

UK Pet Food’s Handbook to Help Improve Sustainability of Pet Food

This handbook provides a practical tool to drive action to mitigate the impacts of the ingredients we use. It enables companies of all sizes to make informed decisions on sourcing ingredients. The basis of the handbook is an ingredients LCA project by highly regarded sustainability consultants, 3Keel. 

Handbook Highlights:

Highlights from our sustainability handbook include a five step plan, which is detailed with more instruction plus how to engage with suppliers on this topic.

Member Training:

3Keel organised a training session when launching the handbook and here you can watch the webinar recording.  Members are also invited to share with their teams in training sessions. 

The Purina team ran an internal session and here is feedback:   

Our team were super engaged and found it incredibly useful. They found it informative in terms of starting to understand the formulation choices the entire industry is going to have to consider going forwards. It was pitched at a great level for the broad range of understanding we have across the team – not too simplistic, nor too complex. Overall, we think it’s a fantastic resource and we’re just thinking about how we can best incorporate it into our existing materials to help upskill our teams and enable them to have conversations with stakeholders.
