Key Sustainability Highlights

  • AMP continues to maintain its FSSC 22000 v5.1 (Food Safety Management) certification, cementing AMP’s commitment to providing customers and consumers with quality meat that is processed from a factory that meets global safety, hygiene and quality requirements.
  • AMP are part of the Colcom 1.6MW solar power project that is currently being implemented with completion expected in F2025.
  • AMP is in the process of installing a 150kW solar power facility at its Zimnyama Abattoir to run the operations by enhancing the reliability of power supply and reducing the reliance on back-up generator power.
  • Energy and water conservation initiatives include the installation of LED lights, reducing voltage from 36kW to 18kW. A leak detection and repair system where, through regular monitoring, leaks can be identified on a daily basis has been implemented. AMP also uses a high-pressured cleaning process using foam whereby less water is used while the cleaning solution is dispensed more efficiently. It reduces the time to clean and increases the surface area cleaned.

Note:

  • For the historical data to be comparable, the Scope 1 Carbon Footprint for 2021 to 2023 has been recalculated using the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (UK) (DEFRA) factors for 2024.
  • Increased water usage volumes in Zimnyama in 2024 was due to undetected leaks that have since been addressed.
