About the company
Arthur Mallon Foods is the leading producer of sausages in Ireland, creating award winning sausages since 1942 from its home. The company originated from Arthur Mallon's Butchers shop in Monaghan Town, famous for its tasty and creative sausage recipes. Nowadays the third generation of craft butchers, Mallon's is still a family owned business, having won over 160 awards both nationally and internationally, making the company the most awarded sausage maker in Ireland. Quality and taste are at the heart of everything Mallon's does, with all its products being 100% Irish.
Key Sustainability Commitments
Spotlight Target Area: Energy/ Emissions
The
sustainable, environmentally conscious use of resources is the basis of the
production process at Arthur Mallon Foods, ensuring that future generations can
continue live in a healthy, thriving environment. With this in mind, the
company's electricity intensity dropped from 189 kWh/tonne in 2020 to 170
kWh/tonne in 2021, compared to a target milestone of 183 kWh/tonne. Exceeding
this target is particularly notable as product output was higher than
anticipated throughout 2021 and despite this, overall electricity use was still
reduced.
Through its ongoing commitment to sustainability, the company engaged with
Enterprise Ireland - an Origin Green partner, and the Pembroke Alliance, to
initiate a Climate Action Report with the aim of driving further energy savings
into the future. Working towards a Circular Economy with existing Waste
streams: With an ongoing commitment to a sustainable ethos, Arthur Mallon Foods
intend to implement a circular economy process on its site by installing a
plastic baler and liaising with its supplier, Shabra. Shabra will produce black
plastic garbage bags from the waste generated, which Arthur Mallon Foods will
then purchase for use on site.
