CP Foods achieves carbon certification for more than 500 animal feed products

In the first quarter of 2024, 584 of Charoen Pokphand Foods' (CP Foods) products received Carbon Footprint of Product (CFP) certification and these include 523 animal feed products, including those for pigs and chicken.

The certified animal feed products are HiGro 591 (swine feed), HiProWhite 510 (chicken feed) and CP Foods' feed corn.

Forty shrimp products were certified and they include shrimp feed, fresh shrimp and probiotic microorganisms.

The certification was granted by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO). It underscores CP Foods' dedication to producing low-carbon products and involving consumers in collective efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the company said.

The Carbon Footprint certification measures the greenhouse gas emissions of a product throughout its lifecycle stages, from raw material sourcing to packaging, waste management and transportation.

CP Foods collaborates with value chain partners to offer more low-emission food choices for environmentally conscious consumers. This commitment is evident through the packaging's Carbon Footprint, Carbon Footprint Reduction and Carbon Neutral labels, the company added.

Since 2009, CP Foods has prioritised the development of low-carbon products, evaluating their carbon footprints in compliance with ISO 14040, ISO 14044 and ISO 14067 standards.

Currently, 880 CP Foods products have received the Carbon Footprint label, with plans to expand certification to include processed pork products.
