He works at FrieslandCampina under the great title of Supply Chain Director Sustainability: Gerrit Westhoff is one of the speakers at the FHI Energy in Industry event. Read a preview of what he will say on June 20 here.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

On the way to climate-neutral dairy
<\/strong>It is clear that FrieslandCampina is aware of its role in the energy transition. Under the guise 'nourishing a better planet <\/em>the company is working on net climate-neutral dairy. Gerrit: \u201cThe goals of the United Nations were our starting point when drawing up this plan. We are also committed to the Paris Climate Agreement. We want to be net climate neutral by 2050.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

An innovative attitude is the start
<\/strong>FrieslandCampina is working hard to reduce its energy consumption. In this way, she is working to reduce her ecological footprint, as stated in the climate plan. Gerrit: \u201cWe optimize business processes and test innovative technologies such as replacing energy with biogas. But also being more flexible in the use of gas versus electricity. We now switch between them more easily.\u201d Therein lies the challenge, because electrification requires sensors. And they are not always in every factory. \u201cI would like to highlight this aspect during the FHI event. There are probably many people who want to think with us about how we can solve this problem together.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

FrieslandCampina also finds transparency very important. Gerrit: \u201cWe share our progress in reports. Everyone can see which projects we have started in the context of our sustainability goals and which goals we have already achieved.\u201d This shows, for example, by what percentage energy consumption has fallen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0Collaboration, innovation and future-oriented thinking
<\/strong>\u201cWe take our role in the energy transition seriously. So we have our own Research and Development<\/em>center in Wageningen where we are innovating. We are also open to start-ups that come to us with innovative ideas. We facilitate these projects by testing new equipment, such as certain sensors in factories. If it fits in with our business operations, we participate in such innovative projects.\u201d According to Gerrit. \u201cWe are part of a cooperative. This means that we work with relevant parties for the long term to truly have a positive influence. This way we can really make an impact.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Would you like to hear more from Gerrit and know more about the future of energy in the industry? Then come to it event on June 20 in Van der Valk Vianen.<\/a><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n\t
