            "The pressure on the livestock feed industry to put a stop to the conversion of natural ecosystems has increased in recent times. The Accountability Framework has set conversion-free soy' in completely segregated chains as the baseline. Agrifirm is in discussion with it's suppliers to investigate how soy can become guaranteed and verified conversion-free in the physical chain. The initial pilots with guaranteed deforestation and conversion free soy in our physical supply chain will be rolled out in 2021 [...] In 2020, Agrifirm produced all of it's soy in accordance with teh FEFAC Soy Sourcing Guidelines through means of the purchase of RTRS (125,000 tons) and SFAP non-conversion certificates" [...] "Sustainably produced raw materials in 2025, Target 100% in 2025"

          "Agrifirm has a Responsible Procurement policy in place, which was last updated in 2017. The approach is built on a generic risk assessment, specific risk assessments and active stakeholder involvement in those processes. The main objective behind this approach is for us to have a good understanding of the social and environmental conditions in our supply chain, ensure food safety and work on addressing these issues jointly with our suppliers. Our membership of SecureFeed and GMP+ helps us toavoid working with companies that are blacklisted and to evaluate suppliers regularly, usually on an annual basis."
