Dawn Meats
Dawn Meats is a provider of food products. Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Waterford, Ireland it has 7 office locations across 7 countries.
Dawn Meats offers beef, lambs, burgers, snacks, meatballs, grill steaks, and koftas for national and international supermarkets, foodservice and manufacturing businesses. Dawn Meats has provided lamb and sponsored the Irish Polish Chamber of Commerce's Flavours of Ireland dinner event for the last several years.
On November 9, 2020, Dawn Meats was distinguished by two major awards and wrote: "We are proud to announce that we have once again been recognised for our ongoing commitment to sustainability with a double success in the inaugural Green Food & Beverage Producer Awards. The new awards are part of the annual Green Awards and look to celebrate sustainable food practices undertaken by producers and processors in Ireland.
Supporting our ambition to be recognised as "Europe's most sustainable meat company", we have been named as the Best Sustainable Meat Producer in Ireland at the online ceremony on November 5th, with a number of recent and ongoing achievements as key parts to our success. We remain the only Irish food processor to be recognised with BITC Ireland's Business Working Responsibly (BWR) mark which was awarded to all of our Irish sites in 2019 having initially been achieved in 2017 for our flagship plant in Waterford. As Europe's first beef and lamb processor to have our science-based targets approved by the SBTi in 2019, we have continued to make progress on GHG reduction targets.
A key part of our sustainability success has been the significant progress made on group-wide targets as part of our wider sustainability strategy. Over the first 4 years of a 10-year strategy launched in 2015 we have:
Achieved 45% of our energy intensity reduction targets Achieved 57% of our water intensity reduction targets Achieved 60% of the Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions reduction targets
Our commitment to our suppliers and wider supply chain was further recognised through the Sustainable Supply Chain Achievement Award. Through Origin Green, we have worked with our farmer suppliers to maximise farmer membership of the Sustainable Beef and Lamb Assurance Scheme. Each farm is carbon footprinted every 18 months as a member of the Bord Bia scheme, with advice provided on how to reduce the carbon footprint of farms, helping to reduce emissions right across the supply chain.
In terms of packaging, we have converted over 1,100 tons of plastic into recyclable mono materials and in 2019 removed non-recyclable black plastic from the vast majority of products sold through retail multiples
