‘Plan Four Zero’ targets operational emissions

Gill Higgins, Group Sustainability Director at Dawn Meats and Dunbia, and Niall Browne, CEO of Dawn Meats and DunbiaWaterford-based Dawn Meats has announced a new €100 million plan that will see it aim for net zero operational emissions across its business by 2040, while also working towards a net zero supply chain as soon as possible.

The initial investment will concentrate on four key areas – environment, farming, food and society – with a near-term goal of reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 59 per cent by 2030 through investment in new technology for the plant infrastructure, transport, thermal energy generation and refrigeration systems.

The company will continue to engage with suppliers to reduce emissions and improve farm efficiencies through innovative farming projects and knowledge sharing events, while also enhancing production efficiencies, and deriving greater value from livestock products to further reduce emissions intensity.

“Addressing climate change is one of the key challenges of our time. Dawn Meats has an opportunity to continue to positively impact the supply chain as well as our communities and environment, and a commitment to achieving net zero operational emissions by 2040 is a goal which is the culmination of significant progress to date,” said Niall Browne, chief executive of Dawn Meats and Dunbia.
