Monaghan has been awarded Gold Membership in the Origin Green Sustainability Programme for 2023, 2024, and 2025, recognising their commitment to sustainability in partnership with Bord Bia.
Origin Green is Ireland's unique food and drink sustainability initiative that sets measurable targets for environmental responsibility and community service.
We have achieved this by:
- Focus on environmentally aware farming and sustainable food production.
- Culture of responsibility within the team to enhance sustainability practices.
- Successful energy reduction initiatives, achieving a 13% reduction in energy usage per tonne output and lowering direct carbon emissions by 8%.
- Installation of technologies such as LED lighting and solar PV systems to improve energy efficiency.
- Continuous improvement in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, with significant reductions surpassing targets.
- Overall energy consumption increased slightly but remained below milestone targets, aided by reduced night shifts and enhanced energy management.
Monaghan's approach emphasises sustainable practices across all operations, including packaging, water usage, and community engagement, ensuring a holistic impact on their environmental footprint.
