Animal welfare
Uruguay Meats recognises that red meat production has environmental impacts and that work needs to continue to address these to safeguard our industry and country for future generations.
Animal welfare & Sustainability
Good environmental management is a key part of the value proposition of our products and our unique brand in overseas markets.
As one of Uruguay’s largest manufacturing industry our Uruguay Meat plants face a multitude of issues around ensuring sustainable, environmental practices. Environmental policies around water use, water quality, emissions and discharge of waste need to be science based, and economically, socially and culturally sustainable.
Uruguay Meats, works to advocate the support of government in the development of an environmental policy that balances these issues to ensure that Uruguay maintains a strong, global environmental footprint.
As a world leader in the care of the environment, Uruguay has accumulated knowledge for over four centuries; all along, the country has developed the production system and unique technology that enabled it to produce the best meats in the world. It is thanks to the way we care for the health of the ecosystem and animals that we can offer the maximum guarantees of a product of excellence. Uruguayan abattoirs implement strict controls of biological and other types of residues, under the oversight of the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries (MGAP).
Uruguay boasts a diverse landscape, shaped by a mosaic of soils, varied topographies, and temperature fluctuations. This rich blend gives rise to a wide array of ecosystems, from expansive wetlands and lush river forests to picturesque palm groves, open grasslands, and gently rolling mountain ranges. Each of these landscapes possesses its unique colors, architectural features, and natural designs, contributing to the vibrant tapestry of our surroundings.
