Alltech’s newly-released 2024 Sustainability Report highlights progress toward emissions reduction, champions agriculture’s role in building resilient food systems

“Our vision of Working Together for a Planet of Plenty® recognizes that thriving farms and food businesses are essential for a more sustainable planet,” said Dr. Mark Lyons, president and CEO of Alltech. “When producers are equipped to succeed — to be profitable, to build a legacy and reinvest in their land and communities — we all move closer to a world of abundance.”

The 2024 report highlights a year of strong momentum and measurable impact: Alltech achieved double-digit business growth in 2024 while reducing its Scopes 1 and 2 emissions by 7.8%. Since 2021, Alltech has reduced those emissions by 26%, more than halfway to its 2030 target of 42%, proving that strong business performance can go hand in hand with environmental progress.

Among Alltech’s 2024 achievements, the company invested $2.04 million in six energy efficiency and renewable energy projects, cutting emissions by 3,602 metric tons of CO2-e. The company also expanded its zero-waste-to-landfill practices, with five facilities achieving full zero-waste status in 2024. In water stewardship, Alltech launched a strategy to benchmark usage, identify high-usage sites, implement conservation technologies and share global best practices.

The report also spotlights Alltech’s role in telling agriculture’s story in a new way through the World Without Cows documentary, which was viewed by more than 5,000 people last year at private screenings, film festivals and events around the world. “Through the film, its digital platform and in-person events all over the world, we are creating space for science-led storytelling that encourages critical thinking and sparking broader conversations about livestock, food security and sustainability,” Lyons said.

The film was screened at CattleCon in February where we interviewed Dr. Lyons about it.
