dsm-firmenich and Allix partner to unlock the value of sustainable feed production with SustellTM
dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health has announced a strategic partnership with Allix, a global leader in feed formulation software, developed by A-Systems, to measure and manage the environmental footprint of animal feed. The two organisations have agreed to combine dsm-firmenich’s Sustell™, its industry-leading lifecycle assessment (LCA) platform with Allix’s feed formulation software to reduce the environmental footprint of feed.
Powered by SustellTM, Allix is developing a dedicated sustainability module that will enable users to gather insights on the environmental impact of their feeds. Users will be able to automatically ingest their data into Sustell™ while formulating in the Allix environment. The module will be available as an add-on to the Allix subscription.
David Nickell, dsm-firmenich’s Vice President of Sustainability & Business Solutions for Animal Nutrition & Health says “Feed is a vital component in the food value chain and by combining the innovative SustellTM platform with Allix’s established feed formulation software, we are unifying our joint commitment to developing the entire farm-to-fork data ecosystem. SustellTM‘s LCA footprinting platform is essential throughout the value chain to address sustainability challenges and unlocking significant value.”
Bruno Duranthon at A-Systems says “We are proud to partner Allix’s feed formulation software with SustellTM to revolutionise the way our users measure and manage their environmental footprint in feed production. Our partnership will contribute to a more sustainable future in feed and food, whilst providing benefits for our customers who are determined to meet sustainable practices.”
The integration, which is expected to be finalised later this year, marks an important step forward for full value chain transparency. It helps the entire food industry, including feed producers, farmers, processors, food companies and retailers to accurately report their emissions and advance their sustainable practices.
