We feed your pets,
while protecting the world they live in.
We protect the environment through concrete, transparent and easily identifiable actions.
Sustainable fisheries
For Schesir wet products we use only two species of tuna, selected from those not suffering from overfishing; we use only individuals that have already reached reproductive maturity. Our commitment to sustainable fishing is evidenced by the “Ocean Friendly” symbol on our packaging.
Recyclable materials
Several years ago we removed the cardboard outer for single-portion tins of products marketed in Italy and Germany, and introduced recyclable materials for other packaging and point of sale displays. We also use recycled paper or paper from controlled and regenerated forests wherever possible.
We offset the CO2 emissions from the consumption of paper still used for the packaging of single-serve and multipacks placed on the international market by co-financing national and international projects with high environmental value.
In 2020 we tried to give new life to the materials aimed at our consumers with the special “La Cuccia” edition:
- A single multipack can be used as a handy container
- By combining 2 multipacks, you can create a comfortable basket
- With 4 multipacks, you get a beautiful kennel
At the end of its second life, the Schesir Kennel can be recycled in the paper container.
Certification
Agras Pet Foods has obtained the certification of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), an international non-profit organisation created to address the problem of unsustainable fishing and ensure the supply of fish products for the future. Some of our products are MSC certified.
Environmental impact
From 2015, Agras Pet Foods decided to create a Carbon Footprint of its Organisation (OCF) in order to quantify the impacts of its operations in terms of greenhouse gases (GHG) and identify measures to reduce these.
In December 2016 Agras Pet Foods received its organic certification. The products of the BIO line are checked and certified as organic by control bodies recognised and authorised by the relevant European authorities.
Focus on suppliers
At Agras Pet Foods, suppliers are carefully selected, especially factories manufacturing our pet foods. In fact, the production processes of all our suppliers are certified and guaranteed by independent international bodies, in compliance with highest standards of safety and hygiene, including ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, OIOS, BRC-GSFS and IFS.
The goals we set for 2018/2019 were achieved:
Increase the brand's impact on the pet food market in terms of product innovation, and make the DRY line packaging more sustainable
In the interest of complete transparency, inform consumers about the entire Schesir wet food production chain, even including the name of the individual boat that fished the raw material for a particular batch
Increase certifications of our company and our products, with a greater focus on Organic criteria
Future objectives:
Improve the sustainability of packaging
Increase the impact of the brand on the pet food market in terms of product innovation
Implement measures to improve traceability in order to improve the relationship of trust with the end customer
Develop initiatives to increase the engagement of end customers in the design or testing phases of products
Establish an in-house laboratory to improve and expand analysis of product quality
