DSM's initiative wins in the Animal Care category at the Asian Export Awards 2020

The ‘We Make It Possible’ initiative aims to transform the animal protein production by creating sustainable solutions.

The Asian Export Award 2020 is proud to award its Animal Care (Large Corporate) award to DSM Nutritional Products (Thailand) for the company’s work in advancing the sustainable production of animal protein as a part of the ‘We Make It Possible’ initiative. With this strategic initiative, the company aims to lead a robust and achievable transformation in animal protein production, creating solutions that will foster a brighter future.

Dr. Mongkol Kaewsutas, General Manager, DSM Nutritional Products Thailand and Indochina shared that sustainability is in the company’s DNA and ‘We Make it Possible’ is testament to the company’s commitment towards scalable solutions that involve the participation of the entire food supply chain.

“DSM has a long and rich heritage in creating sustainable solutions, and it is on this basis that we operate as a purpose-led company. There is an urgent need to reduce the footprint of animal farming and ‘We Make it Possible’ is our answer to the world’s growing population and increasing demand for animal protein,” said Dr. Kaewsutas.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has shown just how fragile our food systems are and the urgent change that needs to take place for a more sustainable future. Winning The Asia Export Awards for ‘We Make it Possible’ is proof of the growing concern and recognition for science-based, scalable solutions for a brighter world.”

Dr. Peter Fisher, Regional Vice President, Animal Nutrition and Health, APAC said ‘We Make it Possible’ comes after many years of innovation and investment to scientific solutions aimed at providing the solutions long affecting the animal production industry.

“‘We Make it Possible’ seeks to accelerate progress towards a more sustainable future by creating solutions which target the growing animal production industry – a significant contributor towards greenhouse gas emissions. The Asia Pacific is one of the largest producers and consumers of animal protein, we will continue to create solutions that can make animal farming more sustainable,” said Dr. Fisher.

Aligning with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals 2, 3, 12, 13, and 14, the ‘We Make it Possible’ initiative is driven by six sustainability platforms facing the animal husbandry industry, namely:

Improving the lifetime performance of farm animals
Improving the quality of food (i.e. meat, fish, milk, eggs), while reducing food loss and waste
Reducing emissions from livestock
Making efficient use of natural resources
Reducing the reliance on marine resources
Helping tackle anti-microbial resistance

DSM maintains a strong presence in Thailand with partnerships with locally-based agencies such as GAIN, intent on advancing a sustainable future. In addition to local partnerships, DSM works with NGOs like the UN World Food Programme; World Bank Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition; Ellen McArthur Foundation; amongst others to advance brighter futures for all.

The Asian Export Awards is organised by Singapore Business Review (SBR), a magazine that caters to business communities in Singapore. The award aims to recognise Asia’s leading exporters across various industries such as agriculture, animal care, food and food safety amongst others.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
