Royal Canin aiming to be carbon neutral by 2025

Pet food brand Royal Canin is aiming to become certified carbon neutral by 2025, with its first product range aiming to be certified carbon neutral by 2022.

To become carbon neutral, Royal Canin will move to renewable electricity, procure sustainable ingredients, invite key suppliers to join its Pledge for Planet initiative, reduce waste and boosting circularity, and become a climate-smart business.

Loic Moutault, President of Royal Canin, said: “It’s science-led initiatives and decisive action, not just ambition, which will help us hit our 2025 climate target.

“We believe that making this bold carbon-neutral commitment will inspire and mobilize new and impactful ideas, action and results and make a meaningful positive difference to pets, people and the planet.”

Royal Canin plans to use the PAS 2060 standard for carbon neutrality, a robust and internationally recognised standard, and will report regularly on its journey.
