The President and CEO’s review
Primary production and natural resources are important not only for the national economy and the security of supply but also for the achievement of climate and biodiversity goals. The sustainable use of natural resources as raw material for bio-based innovation plays a key role in accelerating the green transition.
Strategy and sustainability at Luke
In line with our strategy, we are building a sustainable future from renewable resources. We report on our performance against our updated 2023 Sustainability Targets and our five chosen UN Sustainable Development Goals.
How did we advance Luke’s sustainability goals in 2023?
SDG 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
Our goal is to increase the profitability of food production and meet market demand while helping mitigate climate change and environmental impact.
SDG 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
The global economy uses more natural resources than is sustainable within the Earth’s carrying capacity. Our goal is to process research into solutions that ensure the smart and sustainable use of renewable natural resources and raw materials.
SDG 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
We produce research data and solutions that help society and the natural resources sector combat climate change and adapt to it.
SDG 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
Our task is to reconcile the sustainable use of water resources with the pursuit of a healthy aquatic environment.
SDG 15: Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
New methods are required in agriculture and forestry that simultaneously take into account soil carbon sequestration and productivity, biodiversity and the financial profitability of operations.
