GNT has passed the halfway mark in its mission to reduce carbon intensity at its Exberry® colour factories by 50% over the course of the current decade.  

Based on volume of product sold, GNT cut carbon emissions at its production sites in the Netherlands, Germany, and United States by 26% between 2020 and 2024. This achievement is particularly significant in light of the company’s growth during the same period.

Global sales for plant-based Exberry® colours have increased more than 50% since 2020. Under normal circumstances, such growth would have driven a substantial increase in total carbon emissions due to increased production demands. However, by improving efficiency and investing in sustainable technologies, GNT has been able to keep overall emissions in check. GNT’s new sustainability report reveals there has been strong progress toward many of the 17 sustainability targets it is working to achieve by 2030.

Water efficiency at its factories has improved by 30% compared to 2020, which already surpasses the original 20% goal. The company is also committed to ensuring every contract farmer growing fruits, vegetables, and plants for Exberry® colours enrolls in sustainable agriculture training programs. By the end of 2024, 80% had achieved the level of FSA (Farm Sustainability Assessment) Silver or Gold.
