Aleph Farms commits to being carbon-neutral by 2025

Aleph Farms, the maker of cell-cultured meat, has announced its new sustainability strategy: to eliminate emissions associated with its meat production by 2025 and reach the same net-zero emissions across its entire supply chain by 2030. As it prepares for active pilot-plant (BioFarm) operations next year, the company has set the bar higher for its sustainable development goals.

The company’s series of efforts and achievements it will leverage to reach its goals are as follows:

• Sustainability Advisory Board: The company gathered top-level thought leaders from around the world to solicit views, reach objectives, and implement its holistic approach to sustainability across the ecosystem’s entire value chain.
• Z-Board: In February, the company announced the establishment of its Z-Board—a dialogue platform that engages Generation Z leaders in the vision development for future generations.
• Sustainable Production and Process Design: The company is collaborating with Black & Veatch, a global engineering and construction company, to build a resilient, compliant, and sustainable infrastructure for large-scale production with foundational principles of circular economy and renewable energy.

“At a time when the occurrence of regional and global crisis is increasing—African swine fever, Australia fires, COVID-19—food system resilience is at the core of Aleph Farms’ vision and the key to building a better future for generations that follow,” says Didier Toubia, co-founder and CEO of Aleph Farms, in a press release. “We have to rethink the way we use our natural resources, but our sustainability approach encompasses not only aggressive environmental goals. It also targets social, nutritional, and economic objectives. We are identifying challenges and bottlenecks, engaging with experts and youth leaders, raising awareness, and driving innovation across the entire value chain in order to accelerate the necessary global transition of our food system in the right direction.”
