Reducing our footprint through our zero-loss approach

We’re committed to lowering our environmental footprint, driven by a zero-loss mindset and a dedication to efficiency.

It’s why we’re working across our operations to find ways to do more with less – from reducing waste and increasing material use efficiency to redesigning our packaging. 

_{Climate action}

The global agri-food system is both a significant greenhouse gas emitter and vulnerable to climate change impacts.

We’re taking bold action to reduce our emissions and meet our SBTi targets. Through process efficiencies and smart energy use we are mitigating our impacts, while at the same time building resilience in our operations and supply chain.

_{Circular solutions}

Our packaging is essential for fresh and safe products, but at the same time, it contributes to the emissions we produce.

We’re minimising material use, designing for recyclability and advancing the use of recycled materials. We take circularity further by endeavouring to repurpose our waste and reuse our water use.

_{Sustainable agriculture}

Sustainable agriculture practices are key to nurturing responsible and productive supply chains that effectively manage essential resources.

We are working with farmers to find better ways to grow crops that create greater resilience, protect soil health and use water responsibly.

The Argentina Peanuts Project

A new international partnership has been launched in Argentina to transform the country’s peanut supply chain into a model of regenerative agriculture and credible climate reporting. We are proud to play a founding role in a three-year collaboration led by SAI Platform: the Regenerative Landscapes Partnership: The Argentina Peanuts Project.

Renewable electricity

As part of Intersnack’s climate commitment, we have a target to use 100% renewable electricity by 2032.

By signing a long-term supply contract (also known as a Power Purchase Agreement or PPA) and committing to purchase part of its electricity output for 15 years we have helped to finance the construction of a new solar farm in Spain.

In April 2025, this solar generation park became operational. It is capable of generating around 90,000 MWh of electricity per year – the equivalent of nearly 50% of Intersnack’s total European electric energy needs.

A significant milestone in Intersnack’s renewable electric energy journey.

Packaging

Our contribution to a circular economy

Packaging is essential to protecting the quality and safety of our products, but it also has an environmental footprint. That’s why we are working to reduce this impact and, wherever possible, prevent packaging from becoming waste. Since launching our Packaging Pledge in 2018, we have made strong progress, achieving a 13.8% reduction in the use of flexible packaging by mid 2025 versus 2014.

Building on this foundation, we are now moving into the next phase of our journey, focusing on reducing material use, increasing recyclability, scaling recycled content and strengthening partnerships to support circular packaging.
