WE HAVE HAD THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF A SELECTION OF OUR CHICKEN PRODUCTS MEASURED, FROM FARM TO TABLE

At De Dansk Familiegårde, we’re on a journey to better understand our carbon footprint. That’s why we’ve enlisted independent climate calculation experts from the Carbon Trust to measure the carbon footprint of our chicken products—from the moment the chick hatches until it lands on your plate.

We’re proud to be the first chicken producers in Denmark to receive the Carbon Trust label on our products. With the Carbon Trust, we can work with you, the consumer, to gain a better understanding of our products’ carbon footprint and use that as a foundation for our continued journey.

The selected products included in the calculations will subsequently be awarded a Carbon Trust “CO2 Measured” label on their packaging. This means that the product’s carbon footprint has been measured and that the measurement is certified.

Note: The Carbon Trust “CO2 Measured” label does not imply that the product offers a climate benefit compared to other similar products.

In short

We’ve enlisted a specialized, independent organization that specializes in climate calculations to calculate our carbon footprint across our entire value chain at the product level—from farm to table—from the moment the chick hatches until it lands on your plate.
