What is a Pledge 4 Planet supplier partnership and how does it relate to NUTRO™?
In this program, we are committed to engaging key suppliers to set targets and commit to addressing climate impact in their own supply chain. To date, we have seven key NUTRO™ suppliers who have committed to our Pledge 4 Planet program. Our long-term ambition is to mobilize all our suppliers on climate action.
What is regenerative agriculture?
We source barley for the dry food made in our North Carolina facilities from farmers who use practices that reduce soil disturbance, enhance crop diversity and/or maintain living roots year-round. These actions not only help grow nutrient rich food, but also give back to the earth. Some benefits of these practices may include helping to restore soil health, trapping carbon, increasing biodiversity, reducing the usage of fertilizer and improving water usage efficiency.
Does NUTRO™ utilize ZERO WASTE facilities?
Our U.S.-owned facilities are zero waste to landfill. This means we don’t put operational waste into landfills where it could lead to water contamination or the generation of excess methane gas emissions.
All our factory waste streams are recycled, composted or, if necessary, incinerated to produce energy that can be utilized during production.
