Sustainability

One health, one planet!

We are the leaders in microbiome health because we are aware of the numerous external factors that can affect our overall health. Our environment is one of these factors. Our planet is changing in ways that have never been seen before in human history, and these changes have a direct impact on human health. These changes include rising levels of air pollution, which are now at dangerous levels in many cities, the introduction of microplastics into the food chain, the widespread destruction of priceless wildlife habitat, and climate change, which is causing ever more extreme weather events. We must act now for the benefit of future generations because the effects of our planet's health on our own health are likely to become even more obvious in the coming years.

Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to all of these problems. However, one of our primary goals at ADM Protexin is to be environmentally conscious and proactive by taking positive actions wherever possible.

Climate Positive Workforce

100 million hectares of tropical forest were lost between 1980 and 2000. That is hard to picture, and is just one of the reasons why at the end of 2021 we partnered with Ecologi. They’re a fantastic company committed to helping workforces become climate positive. With their help we'll be planting 10 trees per employee each month. The trees will be planted across the world as part of projects to support areas impacted by deforestation and climate change. Our first trees were planted in Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique and Uganda to name a few.

As well as planting trees, the project helps fund planet saving projects such as wind and solar farms, peatland restoration, and providing communities with cleaner energy sources to cook with in countries across Africa and further afield.

In addition to 10 trees planted per employee each month, ADM Protexin are funding 10 trees to be planted in the UK per new employee throughout 2022 as a welcome gift - sounds like another great reason to join the ADM Protexin team.

By the end of 2022 we will have planted over 30,000 trees globally and offset over 2,300 tonnes of carbon - We're pretty excited to be contributing to a greener, happier and healthier planet watch our progress here.

Our Other Actions
  • As a manufacturing site, a lot goes on behind the scenes to get our products to you, and it is perhaps a common preconception that a lot of waste occurs and heads straight to landfill, however, we’re proud shout that we are 100% zero to landfill.
  • Our recycling is compacted, meaning less space needed to transport it, in turn helping keep HGVs off the road, lessening the amount of pollution going into the atmosphere.
  • We’ve installed charging points in our car park for electric cars.
  • We have 100% LED lighting. If someone forgets to turn a light off it will automatically switch itself off.
  • We are ISO 14011 certification ready. ISO 14011 is an internationally agreed standard that sets out the requirements for an environmental management system. It helps organisations (like us) improve their environmental performance through more efficient use of resources and reduction of waste.
