Kernel has joined the Jumbo Impact Fund initiative, launched by its client Jumbo Supermarkten, as a partner. The program aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in supply chains through co-funding targeted projects.
As part of the Jumbo Impact Fund initiative, Kernel successfully implemented a low-carbon sunflower seed processing project for bottled oil production. By utilizing “green” energy from biomass, the company significantly reduced the production’s carbon footprint—marking another step toward embedding sustainable practices into its production cycle.
Marta Trofimova, Head of Sustainability at Kernel, explains: “Where there is interest, there will also be a specific demand for low-carbon food supply. Kernel is the partner that can meet this demand through our decarbonization production practices, innovations, and approaches to carbon footprint management.”
The program encourages the creation of added value for products by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with current global challenges and setting a new standard for the agricultural sector.
