In early 2020, Arvum Group which includes Specialist Nutrition decided to enhance and formalize their commitment to operating in the most sustainable fashion possible. Recognizing the potential impact Agribusiness can have on the environment, climate and communities, the Arvum Group, launched a Sustainability Strategy Project with a steering group led by Jim Buckley, Director, Specialist Nutrition, and facilitated by Rebecca Byrne, a Senior Consultant at IDDEA Consulting.

Over 12 months, we developed a Sustainability Strategy that embraces the Triple Bottom Line concept, focusing on People, Planet and Profit.

This strategy embraces the role that the Arvum Group has in developing sustainable communities, businesses and farming practices and has identified an ambitious range of goals and projects for the near- and long-term future to support this role.

Sustainability is at the core of what we do in each of our businesses. We believe we are custodians of the future, working hard so that our actions today do not impact negatively on future generations. Our people share a culture focused on achieving this with integrity and ambition across each of our businesses.

We have begun the task of formally adopting the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs).
