As the world’s population grows, demand for animal protein will continue to rise. Over time, this need for ever-increasing quantities of animal protein, which is already placing tremendous pressure on our planet’s finite natural resources, will lead to significant environmental strain, and take our food systems well beyond the planet’s boundaries.
The need to provide enough animal protein for a growing population, while reducing the environmental costs of farming will require smart science and innovative solutions. To address this challenge, dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition and Health has launched We Make it Possible.
Our mission is to lead a robust and achievable transformation worldwide in sustainable animal protein production, and to accelerate solutions that will foster a brighter future.
We strongly believe that the world needs sustainable food systems. That’s why we are working to transform the animal nutrition and health industry worldwide so that it can deliver the solutions our planet needs, creating brighter lives for all.
We have four key nutrition goals:

It goes without saying that reducing our carbon footprint is good for the planet. It’s the new normal - and good for business. dsm-firmenich has set ambitious reduction targets on its carbon footprint emissions. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as being aligned with the Paris climate agreement.
One year ago, we launched our groundbreaking We Make it Possible initiative with the aim of enabling a robust and achievable transformation in animal protein production. In the past year, we have worked closely with our customers, suppliers and other business partners to introduce innovative, purposeful and science-led solutions. We do this by addressing some of the most critical challenges facing our industry and seeing them as opportunities.
We’re so convinced of the value of doing well by doing good that our strategy is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined by the United Nations in 2015. We’re contributing to all 17 SDGS, but we strive to deliver on five in particular:
