Petcurean releases 2024 Sustainability Impact Report

CHILLIWACK, BRITISH COLUMBIA — On Mar. 11, Petcurean released its Sustainability Impact Report for 2024, demonstrating the company’s progress in reducing its carbon footprint. The report details Petcurean’s sustainability progress, notable achievements throughout the year and the company’s future goals for continued improvement. 

“In 2024, we proudly celebrated our 25th anniversary — a milestone which showcases our evolution from a small, passionate family operation in British Columbia to a global leader in premium pet nutrition and sustainability,” said Christine Mallier, sustainability and community relations manager at Petcurean. “We are thrilled to share our 2024 Sustainability Impact Report, which details the deliberate actions we have taken to protect our planet, empower our team, uplift our community, and, in commitment to governance, emphasize ethical leadership and transparency.”

Petcurean measures its sustainability initiatives across four “pillars of impact,” including protecting the planet, empowering the team, uplifting the community and commitment to governance. Some of the company’s highlights from the year include:

• Donating more than 4.6 million pet meals to 540 different rescues, shelters and community groups across North America
• Launching Go! Solutions Benefit Chews, the 2024 Pet Innovation Award winner for Upcycled Treat of the Year, to fight food waste while providing dogs with nutritious treats packaged in recyclable bags. In 2024, Petcurean incorporated six metric tonnes of Certified Upcycled ingredients into Benefit Chews.
• Launching new kibble recipes in recyclable packaging in line with the Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC) Packaging Pledge. This is part of Petcurean’s plan to transition the majority of packaging to recyclable materials by the end of 2025.
• Achieving PSC Accreditation for the fifth consecutive year by meeting rigorous environmental and social criteria and implementing sustainable practices with measurable results.
• Maintaining an ongoing commitment to carbon neutrality and continued to address the impact of Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which in 2024 resulted in an absolute reduction of 37% from 2022, Petcurean’s baseline year.

“We feel honored for the opportunity to advance sustainability within the communities we live, work, and play in, and to see the ripple effects of the work we are doing extend beyond that,” Mallier added. “Small actions create big changes, and we are proud to continue building a legacy that truly reflects Petcurean’s passion for pets, people, and our planet. As we look to the year ahead, we want to thank the many partners who contributed to the remarkable sustainability strides we’ve made in the last 12 months and reiterate our unwavering commitment to building a more sustainable future for all.”
