EIGHT Donegal companies have been recognised for their sustainability performance in 2024 with Origin Green Gold Membership.
Gold Membership is awarded to Origin Green verified companies if they make significant improvements in their sustainability target areas.
Target areas can include supply chain sourcing, water, emissions, waste reductions, packaging, and social sustainability.
The eight Donegal companies awarded were Gallaghers Bakery & Promise Gluten Free, Atlanfish, Errigal Bay, Filligans, Foyle Food Group, Kinnegar Brewing, Mallow Mia and Synerchi Kombucha.
The Gold Members were formally acknowledged at Bord Bia’s annual Origin Green Sustainability Seminar, which was opened by Charlie McConalogue T.D., Minister for Agriculture, Food, and the Marine.
Deirdre Ryan, Director of Sustainability and Quality Assurance, Origin Green at Bord Bia, who officially announced the 2024 Gold Members, said: “To drive continuous change and improvement, each year Origin Green raises the threshold to meet Gold Membership status.
“The record number of companies awarded Gold Membership this year is reflective of the appetite of the Irish food and drink sector to accelerate their sustainability actions.”
This year’s 110 Gold Membership companies come from 24 counties across Ireland and represent sectors including dairy, meat, seafood and aquaculture, confectionary, beverages, and horticulture.
