Marel’s sustainability roadmap is designed in co-operation with our customers, employees, suppliers, innovation partners, and other key stakeholders. In 2019, we reached out to more than 160 stakeholders for input to create further clarity around the most material sustainability topics for Marel. Through the roadmap, we can focus our efforts toward elevating sustainability performance by focusing on four key themes.
Marel is committed to becoming net zero by 2040. To support our long-term commitment, we have launched a five-year sustainability program aimed at steering both Marel and the industry onto a more sustainable path, through ambitious environmental, social, and governance targets.
Marel’s medium-term sustainability program is fully in line with the company’s 2026 growth strategy and complements our long-term climate ambitions as we set a science-based target in 2022 in line with the Paris Agreement. These targets and achievements are reviewed regularly and progress on our ESG performance will be communicated more frequently going forward.
