Good climate

We believe in and practice a sustainable way of farming, and that is why a commitment to climate-friendly practices is at the core of everything we do.

For a sustainable future

A commitment to climate-friendly practices is at the core of everything we do. Being a carbon neutral company sets Goodvalley firmly apart. To limit our environmental impact, we believe in, and practice, our own unique, sustainable way of farming.

This includes growing our own feed in our own fields, raising our own animals, producing our own meat, and generating green energy and heat with manure and crop waste in our own biogas plants. That is how we ensure we work with, rather than against, our environment.

A complete green cycle

Goodvalley’s work for a better tomorrow focuses on further developing and expanding our unique production model that centres around sustainable food production. Key to this strategy is the production of heat and electricity from our biogas plants.

In Goodvalley, biogas serves a number of purposes. We use the heat to warm our farms, the electricity for power, and we sell any excess to the public grid in surrounding villages. We store the fermented biomass in what we call a digestion tank and use it later to fertilize the fields where we grow our animal feed. This is how we create a sustainable cycle.

The first Goodvalley (formerly Axzon) biogas plant commenced operation in Poland in 2005. Today, we have nine. We are very proud of the fact that every year, we produce more than 60,000MWh of green electricity. That’s enough to power around 17,000 households. And because of that, Goodvalley reduces its greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) by approximately 200,000 tonnes annually.

While we have come a long way in biogas production in a reasonably short time, we plan to further expand production in the future.

We believe in sustainability

In Goodvalley sustainable practices are at the core of everything we do.

For maintaining a carbon neutral profile for our entire Polish production process, we have received a carbon neutrality certificate from NIRAS, verified by the German TÜV Rheinland since 2013. In 2018 we were certified and verified in the entire organisation for the first time.

We won a Transformational Business Award in London, in the Optimal Project Financing category. The awards are held by the Financial Times and the IFC.

We also cooperate with institutions and organizations involved in renewable energy, as well as scientific and research centres in Polish and Danish universities to promote and develop renewable energy sources.

We monitor the levels of noise, gas emissions and dust at our sites, and any waste we produce. Results show our operation is having a beneficial effect on the environment every year.

For special occasions we give employees tree seedlings and plants as gifts.

We carry out environmental monitoring, including groundwater studies of the farms and waterways where we operate.
