UK-based The Andersons subsidiary awarded for sustainable development

Feed Factors, Ltd., a UK-based subsidiary of The Andersons, Inc., has been awarded a Queen's Award for Enterprise in the category of sustainable development.

The category recognises companies that develop products and services that have a positive impact upon and provide major benefits to the environment, society and economy.

"Earning this award is a testament to all the hard work the Feed Factors team has put in, constantly striving to improve their business, specifically in organic trade," said Feed Factors managing director Jason Hopkinson. "We believe that a consumer should be given a clear choice between intensively farmed products and organically grown. 

"We are proud to have been selected for such a prestigious award which recognises the company's work around the globe promoting organic farming and its products in a sustainable manner, to benefit generations to come."

Feed Factors' principle activities include trading, importing and distribution of agricultural commodities for human and animal consumption, specialising in organic grains and oilseeds. Its business model centers on promoting organic farming worldwide that doesn't exhaust the land and benefits waterways, wildlife and insects.

Feed Factors also supports the EU product environment footprint initiative (PEF) with carbon footprint and environmental impact as the key drivers.

"The Andersons environmental, social and governance philosophy is to provide our customers with products and services that are of value while also taking action to be a good corporate neighbor by preserving our natural resources for future generations," said The Andersons president and chief executive officer Pat Bowe. "We are honored that Feed Factors has twice been named a winner of a Queen's Award for Enterprise: in 2022 for sustainable development, as well as 2019 for innovation."
