Positive impact
On the topic of sustainability , Jonny shares that Kavli is making great strides in preventing food waste . “ Kavli has signed the most important local initiatives regarding transportation and plastics , as well as the science-based targets initiative . Our primary ambitions are to reduce our emissions footprint and avoid food waste . We place a particular emphasis on the latter for two specific reasons . Firstly , throwing away food has significant financial implications for our company . But most importantly , it has negative effects on the environment . Thus , to tackle the issue of food waste , we have installed systems to automatically track downtime during production . By doing so , we can minimize waste during startup and shutdown periods . The integration of automation and digital tools enables us to efficiently plan our production , allowing for longer production runs and reducing waste associated with the startup and cleaning processes ,” he affirms .
Through its unwavering commitment to innovation and waste reduction in all aspects of its operations , coupled with its support for crucial humanitarian causes via its fund , Kavli is poised to make a lasting positive impact on countless lives for years to come . ■
