Our Sustainability Journey

Sustainable Pet Food Manufacturing & PETS Strategy

Creating a greener tomorrow for pets, people, environment, and society across Europe.

Driving Sustainable Growth

At PPF, business is a force for good in European pet nutrition

Partner in Pet Food (PPF) believes that commercial success and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. In the rapidly evolving European pet food industry, sustainability has shifted from an option to an essential priority for global retailers, brand owners, and procurement leaders.

As a leading European pet food manufacturer operating 12 state-of-the-art facilities, we accept our responsibility to lead positive change. Our dedication to sustainability is a direct reflection of our purpose: making tomorrow's world a better, healthier place to live in for both people and pets. Through structured ESG frameworks, regulatory compliance, and eco-innovative production, we help our partners meet consumer demand for ethically produced pet nutrition.

Strategic ESG Framework

The PETS Strategy: Four Pillars of Action

Launched to align ESG principles with our core mission, our PETS framework translates corporate responsibility into actionable goals across our entire European supply chain.

P

Performance

Prioritizing strict product safety, high nutritional quality, ethical governance, and transparent, responsible sourcing across all supplier networks.

E

Environment

Accelerating decarbonization, expanding solar energy infrastructure, reducing water intensity, and introducing 100% recyclable monomaterial packaging.

T

Team

Fostering an inclusive, safe, and empowering workplace for over 3,000 employees while upholding international labor and human rights standards.

S

Society

Promoting local community welfare, facilitating pet adoption programs, and donating tons of nutritious pet food to shelters across Europe.

Regulatory Leadership & Transparency

CSRD Compliance & Double Materiality Assessment

To ensure long-term resilience and compliance with European non-financial reporting standards, PPF updated its PETS Strategy through a comprehensive Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) aligned with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

This structured assessment evaluates two critical dimensions across our multi-site operational footprint:

  • Financial Materiality: Identifying external ESG factors that influence business performance and operational efficiency.
  • Impact Materiality: Measuring PPF's direct and indirect impacts on local communities, workforce safety, and global ecosystems.

By integrating stakeholder insights, internal risk management, and rigorous scoring methodologies, PPF provides retail partners with fully verifiable sustainability metrics and supply chain continuity.
