Teys Australia is applying cutting-edge technologies across the business to secure a sustainable beef supply chain.

“Our producer feedback is specifically tailored to assist cattle suppliers in improving their business,” explains Duncan. “From x-ray imaging to connecting producers and consumers through digital pathways, our future in this space is exciting. As we transition to a low carbon economy we continue to invest in energy, water and renewable energy projects such as our Low 06

Emissions Energy Hub at Teys Wagga.

This will be the first of its kind in the Australian red meat industry, if not the world. We will combine multiply renewable energy technologies in one location, tailored to match plant requirements.”

To this end, Teys has a pipeline of over 13MW in solar PV projects to deliver as it tracks towards its 2023 targets; these include fulfilling 30% of its energy needs via renewables.

This $42mn investment at Teys Wagga will see a combination of renewable energy technologies (such as solar, energy storage and bio energy plant with energy productivity) deployed

“ Transferring our focus on resource efficiency to all parts of the business with projects such as our Low Emissions Energy Hub is an opportunity to change mind set and demonstrate what’s possible” — Tom Maguire, Chief Value Chain Office, Teys Australia

Allied to this is the emerging trend for customers caring more about ethical claims and beef processing operations, including consideration for environmental claims as well as animal welfare practices. “The perception of happy healthy cattle is becoming increasingly important to beef consumers,” confirms Duncan.

“Today’s consumer is very conscious about the provenance of their produce and want supply chain transparency.

In terms of sustainability we align with the key sustainability pillars of: People & Culture; Environmental Stewardship; w w w.te ysa ust . com . a u

Animal Welfare and Economic.”

Duncan explains the importance of these pillars and that, with a workforce of 4,700+, Teys understand long-term success will come from empowering its people. “We continue to promote employee career paths, choosing appropriate education and training pathways, and promoting from within.

The opportunities at Teys are extensive, with careers in livestock, operations and professional services,” he says.

Meanwhile, Teys acknowledges its 14

fundamental responsibility to manage impacts on agricultural communities through best practice environmental stewardship. “We employ ethical planning and management practices for the responsible use, and protection of natural resources whilst maintaining compliance with the legislative framework,” confirms Duncan who notes that in 2018 Teys committed to a public target to reduce carbon intensity by 20% and water intensity by 10%. Teys also support the red meat industry achieving carbon neutrality by 2030.

Teys has implemented an Environmental Management System based on the requirements of ISO14001 and,

employs dedicated environmental resources at each of its processing facilities to manage environmental risks and opportunities. Group Environment Manager Amelia Simony highlights the major progress the company is making with environmental stewardship. “One of Teys’ greatest achievements is our investment into state-of-the-art water treatment facilities at all of our large meat processing facilities that not only improve the quality of water for the receiving environment but also significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” she reveals. “Biogas, captured as a by-product of anaerobic water treatment, is captured and then utilised as a renewable energy source alternative to conventional fossil fuels.”

Teys commitment to reduce water intensity by 10% by 2023 will see a number of water efficiency projects rolled out across the group such as water efficient nozzles and high pressure, low flow cleaning systems.
