Discover our Horizon 2035 sustainability framework! It builds on the strong track record that already defines Ardo today. It starts from our proven expertise in sustainable agriculture, efficient operations, and long‑term partnerships. From there we have sharpened our focus and increased the pace of our ambitions, bringing clearer priorities and a more resilient and future‑oriented approach to the challenges ahead.
Our Sustainability Strategy 2035 provides a clear and action-driven framework built around four pillars. Together, they help us create measurable progress, while supporting our customers with a consistent and long-term sustainability approach. Guided by three long-term aspirations, and strengthened through close collaboration with customers, this strategy will be translated into concrete actions across all Ardo sites and teams.
Ardo's answer to climate change
Climate change is impacting us all, from farmers to consumers. Droughts and floods have hit our farmers' field yields, causing product shortages and disruptions in our supply chain. Additionally, rapid human development is pushing the planetary boundaries, putting pressure on the use of land and water and increasing chemical pollution. We recognise our role in these evolutions and are committed to building resilience in our supply chain.
At Ardo, we strive to provide an answer to address climate change, by supporting a transition to more plant-based diets, minimising carbon emissions across our food supply chain, and working on regenerative agricultural practices in the fields through our MIMOSA+ programme.
Ardo’s commitment to the Science-Based Targets initiative
Recognising the need to mitigate Ardo’s climate impact and minimise our carbon footprint across the entire value chain, we decided to align our emission reduction targets with the latest climate science. In December 2023, we formalised our dedication to climate mitigation by signing the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment letter. Specifically, for our scope 1 and 2 emissions, we follow the pathway aimed at limiting global warming to 1.5°C. For our scope 3 emissions, we are following the pathway well below 2°C. As part of our SBTi roadmap, we will distinguish between FLAG (forest, land, agriculture) and non-FLAG emissions.
We are currently in the process of developing our science-based reduction targets and decarbonisation roadmaps.
