GLOBALG.A.P. publishes new sustainability add-on for feed manufacturers
(GERMANY, 8/28/2015)
GLOBALG.A.P. has published a new voluntary add-on aiming to improve the sustainability practices of feed mills wishing to produce sustainable compound feed for aquaculture and livestock.
To achieve this end, the Responsible Operations Standard (ROS) Add-on for Compound Feed Manufacturing V1 proposes:
- Reducing energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions;
- Reducing water use;
- Strategies to avoid waste and effluents;
- Responsible sourcing of agricultural and marine feed materials from sustainable production;
- Product declarations on feed efficiency, environmental impacts, and genetically modified organisms (GMO) content;
- Mass balances for specific claims on sustainability attributes of feed materials:
- Promoting social engagement with the local community.
The module, which was developed based on industry demands and with the strong commitment and support of the Norwegian aquaculture compound feed industry, consists of seven sections with a total of 57 Control Points and Compliance Criteria.
The new module is available as a third party certification. Feed mills with a current GLOBALG.A.P. Compound Feed Manufacturing (CFM) Certificate or any GLOBALG.A.P. equivalent certificate for compound feed may apply for the assessment.
The mill will receive an annual inspection from a GLOBALG.A.P. registered certification body for this add-on, who will issue a Letter of Conformance after a successful inspection.
