The project has seen Norsk Kylling adopt a holistic approach to sustainable and higher welfare production, setting new standards for reducing energy consumption, waste, and their environmental footprint, while improving production efficiency, animal welfare, and developing novel feed ingredients.

As part of this process, they have also reached another major milestone as their greenfield processing plant is completely powered by renewable energy.

It demonstrates that animal welfare, sustainable food production and profitability can all be achieved simultaneously in broiler chicken production.

Hilde Talseth, Director of Sustainable Innovation General Manager Hugaas Rugeri said: “We work actively in all parts of our value chain to find new, innovative, responsible, and sustainable solutions. Through cooperation and a circular mindset and in close collaboration with competent and engaged people, we have successfully established a promising project portfolio.

This award is for us a great acknowledgement that will add to our motivation as we keep working to build the world’s best value chain in the food industry.”
