WOKING, England, Dec. 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nomad Foods Limited (NYSE:
NOMD), Europe's leading frozen
food company, has today announced that it has been included in the
annual Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index (DJSI Europe) for the
fourth consecutive year.
The frozen food manufacturer received a score of 58 out of 100,
well above the global industry average, with a top score of 100 in
the Health & Nutrition category (for the sixth consecutive
year). In addition, Nomad Foods improved its score across other
areas including Climate Strategy, Energy, Environmental Policy
& Management, and Supply Chain Management.
Stéfan Descheemaeker, Nomad Foods' Chief Executive Officer,
said, "We are committed to delivering what consumers want which is
tasty, healthy, affordable, sustainable and convenient food
options. Whilst we are proud to walk the talk on nutrition, being
the only major European manufacturer committed to year-on-year
growth of healthy sales, I am particularly pleased to see our total
Dow Jones Sustainability Index score continue to improve as
evidence of the overall progress we are making as the frozen
category leader."
In its latest sustainability report, launched earlier this year,
Nomad Foods highlighted how it continues to increase sales from
products considered as healthier meal choices (HMC), with 93.9% of
net sales in 2023 coming from HMC products.
The company has also previously announced plans to significantly
reduce its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in line with targets
approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In 2023,
Nomad Foods reduced absolute emissions by 34.9%, already meeting
its target to reduce this by 25% by 2025. In addition, following
its landmark research project investigating the potential to store
frozen food at higher temperatures and deliver significant energy
savings, the company became the first manufacturer to join the Move
to -15°C in 2024 - an industry-wide coalition dedicated to cutting
carbon emissions in frozen food supply chains globally.
