PRIORITIZING SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is a core tenet around which Modern Meadow has built our business processes, from the factors we prioritize as we develop solutions, through our innovation-to-market process, to the types of partners and suppliers we work alongside.
Our three sustainability principles help us stay focused on the most critical environmental areas and continuously challenge us to design our products and systems in the most sustainable manner. They are:
Take Urgent Climate Action
We recognize we must take climate actions in support of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement by transitioning away from both animal-derived inputs and fossil-derived materials and chemicals that are co-produced along the petrochemical supply chain. We are committed to disrupting these supply chains and offering new alternatives without compromising performance.
Maintain a Balanced Ecosystem
We strive to source inputs that support the growth of a sustainable bioeconomy without adding pressure to the global agricultural systems already in place. This includes efforts to minimize agricultural land use, freshwater consumption, and eutrophication from waste emissions.
Promote Circularity and Responsible End-of-Life
We support the development of circular systems that promote the use of renewable and recycled inputs as well as processes and systems that are designed for a responsible end-of-life.
In 2022, we began a process to identify science-based targets aligned with our sustainability principles and develop key performance indicators to measure our progress. We intend to share both in our 2023 Impact Report, which we will publish in 2024.
