JBT Marel Corporation released its 2024 Sustainability Report, ‘Shaping the Future of Food Together’. The report highlights how the company creates meaningful impact for customers, employees, communities, and the wider food ecosystem.
Brian Deck, chief executive officer, said, “Sustainability is more than a goal—it’s a responsibility. Every step we take today defines the kind of company we will be tomorrow. Together, JBT Marel’s diverse solutions, enhanced operational scale, and deep application, service, and digital expertise expand our ability to support customers and the global food system.”
The Sustainability report reflects our clear purpose: To Transform the Future of Food. Hunger, malnutrition, water scarcity, carbon emissions, and climate change are among the most pressing challenges of our time.
It is uniquely positioned to address these challenges, guided by five key pillars:
Customers: It is focused on delivering advanced, proven, and complementary machine and digital technologies. With broad and holistic offerings spanning diversified end markets, including proteins, beverages, fruits and vegetables, and pet food, the company is committed to driving the next level of equipment performance, line productivity, operational efficiency, and sustainability for customers worldwide.
People and Communities: Our people are the true drivers of innovation and performance. It is a global, diverse, and motivated group, united to make a difference. In 2024, the company began developing a new diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) governance structure, which includes executive oversight and further embeds DEIB across the business. It is also building a culture hub to house DEIB-related initiatives, including employee network communities and site- and region-specific programs, ensuring they reflect and support the company’s global workforce.
Operations: Efficiency is at the core of its approach, driving continuous improvements to optimise operations, minimise environmental impact, and strengthen business resilience. We are aligning best practices, combining policies and programs and evaluating opportunities to set environmental targets.
Supply Partners: Its global supply chain is central to consistently meeting and exceeding customer expectations. With suppliers worldwide, the company focuses on establishing a standard of ethical behaviour that goes beyond compliance and legal obligations. It engages with suppliers to better understand their environmental impact. The company recently released a new Supplier Code of Conduct that establishes the expectations of its supply partners.
Governance: It is committed to operating with integrity for the benefit of its employees, customers, communities, and other stakeholders. The company’s Guide to Ethical Conduct sets clear expectations for employees, promoting ethical and responsible conduct in the workplace and ensuring alignment with company values. The company is also in the process of combining its legacy double materiality assessments, mapping the sustainability issues most critical to its business and areas where its operations have the greatest impact, allowing it to shape its long-term sustainability strategy.
