SUSTELL™: THE GMP+ ENDORSED STANDARD FOR AUTOMATED FEED LCAS

Sustell™ is the world’s leading ISO‑assured animal protein footprinting platform, supporting end‑to‑end LCA across the complete value chain – from crops to feed to farm to processing – covering all major farmed species according to the latest calculation methodologies.

For the feed industry, Sustell™ delivers this capability through seamless integration with leading feed ingredient databases, including GFLI and AFP, supplemented by high‑quality primary raw material data from agronomy partners as well as the ability to use proprietary data sources. The platform connects directly with all major feed formulation and recipe management systems, enabling fully automated LCA calculations at scale.

Sustell™ is endorsed under the GMP+ MI5.7 Feed Life Cycle Assessment standard and is fully aligned with the FEFANA code of practice for sustainability labelling of feed. Recognised and used by leading companies across the global animal protein value chain, Sustell™ provides a highly credible, accurate, and scalable solution to support sustainability reporting, regulatory compliance, and informed decision‑making to unlock business value.

“The new MI5.7 standard from GMP+ International is an important step for the industry,” said Dr David Nickell, Vice President of Sustainability & Business Solutions at dsm-firmenich. “It is crucial to move beyond carbon alone and adopt full life cycle assessment approaches that reflect the true environmental impact of feed across the value chain.”

“Trusted by feed producers and integrators in every region of the globe, Sustell™ makes feed footprint calculations scalable and credible,” said Dr Heinz Flatnitzer, Global Head of Emissions Value Management at dsm-firmenich. “Through our extensive Sustell™ partner network, feed mills can carry out footprint calculations efficiently and with confidence, while reducing effort and cost. This creates a clear pathway to new value creation opportunities, from preferred supplier status to carbon value monetisation.”
