ECO is committed to embedding sustainability into the high standards set for its business dealings. We recognise the value of incorporating the principles of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) into everything we do.
ECO focuses on economically important diseases of pigs and poultry; by treating and controlling these diseases, animals are healthier and grow more profitably, enhancing the incomes of their keepers.
ECO improves the health of pigs and poultry, providing healthy and nutritious meat and eggs to populations around the world.
ECO provides a challenging and safe workplace to global staff, business growth to distributors, funds to enable chosen charities to help those they support and profitable pig and poultry production to producers, increasing their livelihoods and nutrition.
ECO is committed to gender parity for its workforce and our chosen international charity promotes gender equality as part of its work.
ECO staff experience work and development opportunities, customers are supported with training and knowledge to better their businesses and we develop upstream and downstream partnerships and employment to suppliers and distributors.
Changes and improvements made by our key supplier and in the UK Southgate office have increased our sustainability.
