Sustainability

We incorporate sustainability into everything we do.  

Our Vision

Our vision is to replace harmful chemicals in agriculture with natural products based on microorganisms. This will maintain our local plant production, avoiding increased imports and deforestation while reducing emissions of fertilisers, pesticides, and greenhouse gases. 

Tons

By 2027, we aim to reduce the use of synthetic fertilisers and pesticides by 10,000 tons. 

Tons CO2

By 2027, we aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 100,000 tons CO2.  

Meanwhile, local plant production should be maintained or increased. 

Sustainability
is also crucial internally

At Nordic Microbes, we constantly work to minimise our own impact.
