SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH COLLABORATION

Creating impact together

CREATING THE FUTURE

Creating long-term value

Working together on shared challenges

With emissions generated across our value chain, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint through our Creating the Future 2030 strategy and our Science Based Targets. As climate-related challenges continue to affect agriculture, we are developing products, services, and solutions that support the evolving needs of farmers, customers, and other stakeholders.

Collaboration is an important part of how we work. Many of the challenges facing agriculture, food production, and energy systems require contributions from multiple stakeholders across the value chain. By working closely with our owners, customers, partners, and other stakeholders, we combine knowledge, experience, and resources to support the development of our business and the sectors in which we operate.

SUPPORTING BIODIVERSITY INITIATIVES

Working with farmers

Our farmer owners manage extensive areas of agricultural land and work with a range of practices related to land stewardship and farm management. Healthy soils are an important foundation for agricultural production, and many initiatives focus on maintaining soil quality and supporting long-term productivity.

We contribute by developing and providing cultivation concepts, products, and advisory services that help farmers address evolving agricultural requirements and implement their chosen management practices.

SCALING ACROSS

Agricultural practices and partnerships

We work with farmers, customers, and partners to explore and develop agricultural practices that support evolving farming needs. In 2025, we expanded our partnership with Carlsberg to increase the scale of malting barley production under a shared framework covering areas such as tillage, crop rotation, field cover, fertiliser use, and crop protection practices.

To strengthen our understanding of these approaches, we launched the DLGreen project, collecting data from ten pilot farms. We also began aligning our framework with the focus areas defined by the SAI Platform, including soil, water, biodiversity, and climate-related considerations.

FINDING SOLUTIONS

Responsible soy sourcing

Soy is an important source of protein in European animal feed and is sourced through global supply chains. In 2025, DLG Group achieved its goal of sourcing 100% verified soy in line with FEFAC's Soy Sourcing Guidelines. This supports greater transparency in our sourcing activities and aligns with recognised industry standards.

We continue to work with suppliers, customers, and industry stakeholders to improve transparency and data availability across the soy value chain. As supply chain expectations continue to evolve, ongoing collaboration remains an important part of our approach.

SUCCESS FOR FARMERS

Plant breeding expertise

Sejet Plant Breeding develops crop varieties for agricultural production and has been active in plant breeding since 1947. Through the use of DNA-based breeding methods and collaborations across Europe, the company works with crops including barley, wheat, and triticale to meet changing agricultural requirements.

Today, Sejet is owned by DLG Group and Novo Holdings. Together, we support the ongoing development of crop varieties and collaborate with farmers and industry partners across the agricultural value chain.
