Harnessing the power of agriculture to preserve the planet
Through strategic collaboration and stewardship, we can transform the future of our planet with sustainable farming and nutrition.

Healthy, sustainable food systems are vital to achieving the world’s development goals and ensuring global economic growth — but climate change threatens these goals. It disrupts every aspect of agriculture and makes it increasingly difficult to ensure that sustainable nutrition is accessible to the growing global population.
Alltech believes that agriculture has the greatest potential to positively shape the future of our planet. That’s why we are uniting the agri-food community in Working Together for a Planet of Plenty™ — a world where we can provide proper nutrition for all, revitalize local economies and replenish the planet’s natural resources.
At Alltech, we see opportunities in every challenge. We are dedicated to delivering smarter, more sustainable solutions to advance the health and performance of animals while also lowering their impact on the environment.
By adopting new technologies, improving business practices and embracing innovation, the agriculture industry is working together to harness the power of human ingenuity and the sustainable science of agrifood to create a Planet of Plenty. We are honored to be part of it.
Making a positive impact on the planet
Alltech believes a sustainable agri-food sector is both possible and essential. We are committed to prioritizing the efficient production of nutritious food while working to minimize our carbon footprint and helping producers worldwide find and implement solutions to their sustainability challenges.
The 2022 Alltech Sustainability Report emphasizes the vital role of agriculture in combatting climate change and creating healthy, sustainable food systems. It reveals our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions baseline and reduction goals and progress toward key performance indicators, and shares our efforts to promote sustainability in the workplace and in our communities, as well as the ways we are advancing environmental actions in the industry.
Our commitments
Alltech is committed to:
- Reducing the impact of our operations and promoting environmental actions in the agri-food industry.
- Advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Ten Principles of the U.N. Global Compact.
- Working Together for a Planet of Plenty.
We continually look for ways to be more environmentally responsible and find areas for improvement or innovation. From reducing our carbon footprint to conserving resources and streamlining business processes, Alltech team members across the globe are making small changes that add up.
A shared blueprint for worldwide peace and prosperity
Committing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, was a natural step for Alltech because we are passionate about sustainability and making a positive impact on the planet we all share. In 2019, when Dr. Mark Lyons announced our new purpose of Working Together for a Planet of Plenty™, he called for collaboration and partnership across industries and geographies, because innovation knows no boundaries. Today, our commitment to the SDGs strengthens our mission to achieve a brighter future — together — and to inspire others in our industry to do the same.
Alltech identified nine of the U.N.’s 17 SDGs that we feel most closely align with our core business and are therefore actionable by the company:
Alltech has developed specific goals for each of the SDGs that are aligned with our business, and we are implementing a system for measuring and reporting our progress on these SDGs. We expect to discover more
opportunities for innovation and improvement as we work to further advance these SDGs.
