Soy and Feed Declaration Walkthrough

The information you report in your declaration will vary depending on the type of products you supply and your position within your customers' supply chains. The videos below provide a step-by-step guide to completing the soy declaration form. They're structured into short clips to allow you to skip any steps which are not relevant to your company.


Introduction and Company Information



This video explains the structure of this year's declaration form and the steps you'll need to take before you can start reporting your data.



Feed Mill Information
Please complete this tab if you have access to information about the feed mills in your supply chain.



Livestock Producer / Integrated Supply Chain / Feed Buyer

Please complete the 'livestock producer' tab if you have access to any information about the breakdown of soy in your feed.



Information you will need to submit in this tab includes:


● Sustainable soy commitments adopted by your company for animal feed/soy

● Certification status of your production sites feeding animals.

● Feed consumed by company-relevant livestock that are used in the products you supply us. Data must include:

            ○ Name of the feed supplier.

            ○ Name of the company importing the soy to Europe (if different).

            ○ Total tonnage of meat/dairy/eggs/fish supplied, by type of protein. This should only be the volume that is used specifically in our products, not across your entire operations.

            ○ Total feed used to produce relevant protein (meat/dairy/eggs/fish) and associated soy content per tonne.

            ○ Country of origin of soy and sub-national origin if available (e.g., state or municipality)

If you are a packer or conglomerate, the information you will need to submit to complete your soy and feed declaration includes:
