WE STRIVE TO BE
Better for You & Better for the Planet
In 2021, we launched the ‘All Our Futures Sustainability Programme’ in TMI. The purpose – To unite 4 manufacturing plants in the group across Ireland, the UK and Germany under one common sustainability strategy. This includes a commitment to Science Based Targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction across all operations and supply chains.
Through the programme, we have put in place common goals and initiatives under our 4 key sustainability pillars to contribute to a sustainable future for all and ensure the long-term sustainable development of TMI and indeed across all of our manufacturing plants.

GLOBAL GOALS
Driving ambitious corporate climate action
We recognise that our industry is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and as a food manufacturer specialising in cooked protein, TMI recognise our contribution to GHG emissions and the need to reduce our emissions in line with science. In 2021, we began the process of evaluating our total carbon impact across our entire value chain, with the intention to set emission reduction targets in line with climate science recommendations, to limit Global warming to 1.5°C.
Our emissions reduction targets are approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTI), committing to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year, and to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions covering purchased goods and services by 35% per tonne of finished product within the same timeframe, in line with the 1.5°C trajectory.
Achieving these targets will not be easy and will require continuous improvement in our operational efficiencies, and in particular, partnerships, collaborations, and commitment in our value chains, to drive emission reductions in the raw materials they produce, and we source.
