We pioneer sustainable malt solutions

In an industry where decarbonisation, biodiversity and the preservation of water resources are having a massive impact on business, we position ourselves as the benchmark partner in agro-ecological transition, providing solutions to transform the barley malt industry.

To enable our customers to create ever more sustainable beers and whiskies, we offer high quality products with varying characteristics depending on specific farming practices.

We are also able to build exclusive supply chains with our partners, such as the “traceable & responsible barley” supply chain.

The positive impact of our operations

Reducing our footprint and making the most of resources

To confirm our commitment to a sustainable and responsible approach on an international scale, Malteries Soufflet has signed up to the Science Based Targets initiative. An ambitious approach has been devised to meet the most challenging objective of the Paris Agreement, limiting global warming to 1.5°C compared with pre-industrial temperatures. So our action plan is based on two main stages. The first is to halve our carbon emissions by 2030, and then move towards Net Zero Emissions across the entire value chain.

Ambitions for 2030
-50% reduction in carbon emissions in scope 1 and 2*.
-30% reduction in water consumption*.

*compared with 2020.
