We’re excited to announce that our brand #GOLDBEEF took home five #medals at this year’s World Steak Challenge in Amsterdam! This global #competition is the ultimate stage to show off quality, processing standards, and breed characteristics, and our steaks went head-to-head with the best in the world — again! Our #Simmental ribeye stole the show, winning Gold, and we also brought home Silver and Bronze for our filet and roastbeef. 🥇🥈🥉 This breed may have its roots in Switzerland, but it has truly made its home in Southern Germany, where we proudly produce GOLDBEEF at our Buchloe and Waldkraiburg facilities. Willi Habres, our Director of National Sales, summed it up perfectly: “This is a huge recognition of the quality of GOLDBEEF, our production standards, and our commitment to delivering the best to customers at home and abroad. We’re especially proud to have done so well across all categories from both production sites!” We can’t wait to officially #celebrate at the awards ceremony in London this November. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming: 🥇 Gold: #ribeye from Waldkraiburg 🥈 Silver: #filet from Buchloe, #roastbeef from Waldkraiburg 🥉 Bronze: filet from Waldkraiburg, roastbeef from Buchloe Congrats to the entire team for making this happen! 💪 #foodthatmatters #award #beef #meat #steak

🚀 Last week, we introduced the new virtual reality "pig goggles" at our Crailsheim facility. Developed by Peter Menzel (C.O.M. GmbH Wetzlar) and Benito Weise ( Landwirtschaftskammer Niedersachsen ), these VR goggles let us see the world through the eyes of pigs. 🐷 👓 Since 2021, we've been using VR googles that simulate the visual perception of cattle. Now, we're expanding this innovative approach to include pigs. By experiencing the animals' perspective, we can enhance our understanding and improve animal welfare. 💡 We use these innovative goggles to train our staff and animal welfare officers, as well as to optimize construction measures in our slaughterhouse facilities. Our team is amazed by the insights gained, allowing us to create better living conditions for the animals and strengthen animal protection. Dr. Veronika Weber, Veterinarian and Director Quality Assurance & Operation Vion Germany shared her thoughts: "The effect of the VR goggles was simply incredible. All participants reported having a much better understanding of the animals and how they move. I couldn’t wait to try the pig goggles myself and was truly impressed." #AnimalWelfare #Innovation #VR #PigGoggles #VionFoodGroup #Sustainability #Training #Virtualreality #Technology #Fleischindustrie #Fleischproduktion #Tierschutz @vionfoodgroup

Vion is the first to succeed in calculating the CO₂ footprint of pork from a large group of pig farmers at farm level with actual data. 📊 Vion initiated and commissioned the development of the CO₂ footprint calculator, which was developed together with data company ImpactBuying . With this calculator, Vion provides insight into the total CO₂ emissions in the production chain of pork products. 🐷 Through cooperation with all chain partners, emissions can be identified and reduced at each step. This has resulted in the total CO₂ footprint of Vion pork production for Dutch retail now being visible. Want to know more?
