As a signatory of the Code, ESSNA pledges to continue working towards a climate-neutral food chain and a circular economy to ensure that the highest quality sports nutrition products do not only support consumers’ active lifestyles and nutritional goals, but also carry the lowest environmental and social impact for the planet.
“Following the launch of the ESSNA’s Sustainability Pledge in May 2022, we are delighted to announce that ESSNA is further advancing the sports and active nutrition sector’s transition to sustainability by joining the EU Code of Conduct for Responsible Food Business and Marketing Practices,” said Dr Adam Carey, Chairman of ESSNA
Dr Carey emphasised that as regulators increasingly require food businesses to comply with environmental standards, ESSNA is at the forefront of the industry’s shift to sustainability.
“As a signatory of this Code, ESSNA pledges to promote and disseminate it and endorse its aspirational objectives,” he added.
Dr Carey said that ESSNA will keep actively supporting its members in adopting best practices with regards to transparent sourcing, animal welfare, circular packaging, food loss and waste reduction and prevention as well as other sustainability goals.
“We will also explore the possibility of developing sector-specific tools and resources and we will continue to work closely with industry and policy stakeholders in support of the Code.”
