LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY, US — Alltech revealed in its recently released sustainability report that it achieved double-digit business growth in 2024 while reducing its Scopes 1 and 2 emissions by 7.8%. Since 2021, Alltech has reduced those emissions by 26%, more than halfway to its 2030 target of 42%.

“Our vision of Working Together for a Planet of Plenty recognizes that thriving farms and food businesses are essential for a more sustainable planet,” said Mark Lyons, president and chief executive officer of Alltech. “When producers are equipped to succeed — to be profitable, to build a legacy and reinvest in their land and communities — we all move closer to a world of abundance.”

From investing in energy efficiency and water stewardship to creating sustainability partnerships with customers and taking bold action to tell agriculture’s story in a new way through the World Without Cows documentary, the company said the 2024 report showcases the global impact of Alltech’s purpose-driven strategy.

It also highlights key progress in reducing emissions and waste, supporting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and promoting sustainability across Alltech’s global operations, workplace, and industry partnerships.

Sustainability is embedded in Alltech’s mission to improve the health and performance of people, animals and plants through nutrition and scientific innovation, it said.

“The choices we make today will shape the world of tomorrow,” said Tara McCarthy, global vice president of ESG at Alltech. “That’s why our sustainability strategy is designed to deliver long-term environmental, social and economic benefits — not only within our own operations but across the entire agri-food value chain.”

Key sustainability achievements include:

• Energy efficiency: In 2024, Alltech invested $2.04 million in six energy efficiency and renewable energy projects, cutting its emissions by 3,602 tonnes of CO2-e. Since 2021, it has invested $13 million in 40 projects across 29 sites, resulting in a reduction of approximately 21,000 tonnes of CO2-e per year.

• EUDR compliance: The company achieved EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation) compliance and drafted deforestation/conversion-free policies for 2025 adoption.
• Recognition: Alltech was reaccredited by the Pet Sustainability Coalition, Alltech Serdán received ESR designation again and the company’s sustainability efforts continue to be recognized by sustainability-rating agency EcoVadis.

“We are dedicated to addressing these complex issues through ongoing rigorous research, robust data management, strategic partnerships and the development of forward-thinking sustainable solutions,” McCarthy said. “We invite our stakeholders, partners and communities to join us on this journey. Together, we can transform challenges into opportunities, create meaningful change and create a world of abundance for future generations.”
