The livestock industry is the most significant contributor to carbon emissions and environmental degradation. As a global meat producer, processor, and supplier, Dunbia is playing a significant part in an environmentally sensitive industry that drives the world towards climate change. However, the company recognizes this aspect of the business and has mitigation measures to enhance its current sustainable measures to ensure full social responsibility. The company has achieved its Zero waste to landfill 2025 sustainability target and is underway to reduce water and energy consumption and carbon emissions. The appraisal report looks at current studies focusing on the impact of meat processing on the environment and how Dunbia has applied different theoretical perspectives to ensure compliance to regulations and implement in-house sustainability best practices as part of the company's strategy. The appraisal recommends extensive research in reducing inputs in meat protein production and the public's engagement on the dangers of excessive meat consumption.
