\nUAE agribusiness reports first carbon credits generation and continues regenerative farming expansion across global operations<\/p>\n
\nAl Dahra today published its 2024 Sustainability Report, detailing progress across environmental and social commitments while navigating increased weather volatility that impacted operations in several key markets.
\nThe report highlights significant milestones including the generation of first carbon credits from Romania operations and expansion of regenerative farming practices to 35% of global operations, putting the company on track to meet its 2030 sustainability targets.
\n“This report demonstrates our commitment to transparent reporting and measurable progress,” said Group CEO Arnoud van den Berg. “Despite climate challenges, we’ve continued advancing our regenerative agriculture program and achieving meaningful reductions in our environmental footprint.”
\nKey findings from the 2024 report:
\n\u25cf Romania operations issued first carbon credits through soil sequestration
\n\u25cf Regenerative agriculture expanded to 35% of farmland (target: 80% by 2030)
\n\u25cf Total emissions reduced 7% to 435,000 tonnes CO\u2082e despite operational challenges
\n\u25cf Water efficiency improved to 376 cubic metres per tonne of production
\n\u25cf Organic fertilizer use increased to 6% of total application
\n\u25cf Women in senior leadership reached 14% (target: 18% by 2030)
\nThe report details how challenging weather conditions led to a 5% increase in emission intensity as the company required additional energy for irrigation and cooling systems. However, Al Dahra maintained its commitment to transparency by reporting all metrics accurately.
\nTechnology investments drove efficiency gains, with Dragon Line irrigation pivots installed in Egypt and capacitive soil sensors deployed in Morocco. The company also completed its first end-to-end logistics emissions mapping exercise.
\nAl Dahra’s approach to sustainability reporting aligns with European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), preparing the company for evolving disclosure requirements in its key markets.
\nThe 2024 Sustainability Report is Al Dahra’s fifth annual publication, marking years of consistent disclosure as the company works toward net zero emissions by 2050.
