Our strategy

Cosun’s purpose is to contribute to a world of enjoyable, nutritional, and circular products by working together to unlock the full potential of our crops – for current and future generations. Our mission is to create a stable and future-proof earnings model for our members and to develop a socially relevant portfolio. Together, we are building a resilient and impactful enterprise.

By making optimum use of our crops, we add value for our members, our customers, our partners and society. We defined three strategic pillars and four key areas in which to focus our activities and secure future-proof growth in areas with the most opportunities. Our people, partnerships, innovation and communication play a crucial role in helping us achieve our ambitions.

Our strategy, Unlock 30, with its ambitious goals, serves as a roadmap for the coming years and focuses on healthy performance, focused growth, and sustainability throughout the entire chain. To achieve our ambitions, our people, innovations & collaborations, and digitalisation are essential.

Our co-products are the driving force behind our circular production goals and form an additional circular source of fibres, proteins and biobased ingredients.

Building a sustainable future for our chain

Our sustainability strategy focuses on reducing our environmental footprint. We invest in sustainable innovations, energy efficiency, and the circular economy to future-proof our operations. By working together with growers, suppliers, and customers, we aim to build a future proof supply chain and drive sustainable growth. Measurable targets are key. Initiatives such as ‘Groeikracht Cosun’ and a CO₂ reduction programme support us in achieving our goals.
