Adisseo is at the centre of the chain of production of animal proteins. The very essence of our work is to improve the conversion process from plant proteins to animal proteins.

Sustainability is embedded in Adisseo Vision and Mission and Strategy. This strategic integration lays the foundation of Adisseo’s contribution to the development of safe, affordable and sustainable meat production, preserving resources, reducing waste, and protecting biodiversity. We are focusing our teams and resources to develop products, services and promoting the adoption of sustainable practices across the entire animal nutrition supply chain.

The responsible care initiative

In 1990, Adisseo decided to support actively the “Responsible Care” initiative, in applying all its principles throughout the world. The “Responsible Care” initiative is a joint undertaking of the global chemical industry for the safe management of chemicals throughout their lifecycle, while promoting their role in improving quality of life and in contributing to sustainable development. This commitment is regularly renewed.
