WE HAVE HAD OUR CHICKEN PRODUCTS MEASURED FOR CO2 FROM FARM TO FORK

At Danish Family Farms, we are on a journey to learn more about our carbon footprint. That's why we've now commissioned independent climate calculation experts from the Carbon Trust to measure the carbon footprint of our chicken products, from the time the chicken hatches until it lands on your plate.

We are proud to be the first chicken producers in Denmark to succeed in getting the Carbon Trust label on our products. With Carbon Trust, we can, together with you as a consumer, gain more knowledge about the carbon footprint of our products and use it as a starting point on the journey ahead.

The products that have been included in the calculations are subsequently awarded a Carbon Trust CO2 measured label on the packaging, which means that the product's CO2 has been measured and the measurement is certified. Please note that the label does not mean that the product has a climate benefit compared to other similar products.

On this page you can find much more information, including an overview of the products and their carbon footprint, and when you buy chicken, you can recognize the products by the foot-shaped Carbon Trust label.

In a nutshell

We have engaged a specialized and independent climate accounting organization to calculate our carbon footprint across our entire value chain at product level - from farm to fork.

The Carbon Trust is a global climate advisory firm driven by the mission to accelerate the transition to a decarbonized future. It has been pioneering decarbonization for more than 20 years for businesses, governments and organizations.

About the calculations and results

For data that is not available, estimates or secondary data have been used in accordance with standard practice and the international standard used.

We'd like to take a moment to recognize some of those who choose the bicycle as a means of transportation and thus do their part to reduce the carbon footprint.
