We grew and so did our climate footprint but good news! Our climate impact per produced liter decreased from 2021, so that’s a nice step in the right direction.
With the guidance laid out under our three pillars, we seek to change the way people eat and the planet is treated.

We aim to drive a food system shift by restoring carbon, improving biodiversity, and boosting farmers’ income. Here’s what we did in 2022 together with farmers, scientists and other partners to drive a shift toward more sustainable, low-emission practices in oats, our suppliers and packaging.
Sustainable sourcing
We aim to sustainably source all the materials most significant for making our products by 2029. These so called strategic direct materials include oats, rapeseed oil, packaging material, vanilla, coffee, cocoa, coconut oil, palm oil and cane sugar.
Learn more in the full report.
Ingredients
Ingredients accounted for 42% of our corporate climate footprint, with oats as the biggest impact driver, which makes sense since 84% of our total shopping list (by volume) consists of oats. This is a 9% percent increase per produced liter compared with our 2020 baseline.

The Future Agriculture Renovation Movement (FARM) is our program that defines how we work with suppliers and farmers for a more restorative and – trendy word alert – regenerative food system around the world. Here’s what happened in 2022.
Canada
We established a strong foundation for our regenerative supply chain. We worked with industry partners to select the best agronomic practices and test GHG measurement platforms and monitoring frameworks to help farmers optimize on-farm practices.
United States
The Midwest US pilot project grew to include 17 farmers, each working in a three-year growing cycle with oats and a cover crop, corn, then soy, and testing ways to lower their GHG footprint in other parts of their rotations, such as by reducing fertilizer.
United Kingdom
We partnered with 14 farmers who will take part in a pilot project for regenerative sourcing in 2023 to incentivize more sustainable practices on UK oat farms.
Sweden
We collaborated with oat supplier Berte Qvarn and performance management consultancy Improvin’ to map supply-chain-specific GHG emissions, providing data from field to mill in one data system that’s accessible to growers, the miller and Oatly.
Finland
Together with Wageningen University & Research, University of Helsinki and 10 farmers to explore future-proof food production and inform a radical redesign of farms.
China
We partnered with the nongovernmental organization (NGO) Yunnan Specialty Coffee Community and supported
10 coffee farms to provide more data and information for sustainable farming.
ENERGY
Our 2022 Energy intensity, 0.093 kg CO2e per produced liter, is slightly less than the 0.107 kg CO2e per produced liter in 2021 but an increase of 19 percent over 2020. This is in part due to construction and the start-up of new lines and equipment at our factories in Landskrona, Sweden and Millville, New Jersey, United States. Read more >
In 2022, Oatly sourced 100% renewable electricity for the factories we operate directly. When we also include production partners, we sourced approximately 85 percent renewable electricity in total.
Oatly sourced 21% renewable heat energy for both Oatly-operated production sites and our production partners. In 2022, we joined the Renewable Thermal Collaborative, a multi-company initiative to identify solutions to renewable heat energy.

full report.
Supplier
Shout-out
Our warehouse partner in Singapore installed nearly 8,000 solar panels on its rooftop, which generate over 3,400 megawatt hours of green electricity annually.
WATER USAGE
All Oatly-owned production facilities in 2022 used about 3.5 liters of water per 1 liter of finished Oatly product, that’s about 20 percent lower than our baseline of 4.3 L/L but an increase from 2021.
Congratulations
to the Millville
factory.
In September 2022, after the New Jersey Water Environment Association inspected the Millville factory’s wastewater treatment, it passed with a perfect score of 100%
We repurposed 100% of our oat fiber residue, our biggest byproduct category, which made up approximately 90 percent of our total production waste and byproducts in 2022. More about waste.
Transportation
Transportation accounted for about 25 percent of our corporate climate footprint in 2022, or approximately 0.147 kg CO2e per produced liter. That’s a comparable transportation-related footprint to our 2020 baseline. In October 2022,
we celebrated the first run of our Einride electric truck fleet in the United States from our Ogden factory. Also in the US, we began moving some of our finished goods via intermodal rail transportation instead of only diesel truck.

We want every one of our employees to feel like they’re part of the sustainability team. Because it’s through the everyday decisions of every Oatly person that we can reach our sustainability ambitions.

Diversity, equity and inclusion
At Oatly, we want the diversity of our team members to reflect the diversity found in every market in which we operate. In an ideal world, we would measure the same data across each market, but due to legislation, every country differs in the way it collects data. Be sure, we aim to be a company where anyone can feel at home regardless of spiritual beliefs, birth country, race, gender or sexual orientation. To learn more, dive into the standard update.
We seek to create a culture of health and safety in which everyone performs at their best and goes home unharmed every day. More about health & safety.
Most sustainability declarations are about companies' negative impact on the world, but what about the positive impact? We believe that providing products that help empower the plant-based movement through alternatives to cow's dairy is a great way to support more sustainable diets, but how do you measure the impact? We decided to find a way.
In 2022 we commissioned a life cycle assessment and got help from Quantis, a leading environmental
sustainability consultancy, to develop a measurement methodology for emissions saved when consumers switch from cow’s dairy to Oatly. With this method, we used the results of consumer surveys in the US, UK, Sweden, Germany, and China to estimate the rates of conversion from cow's milk to Oatly, and multiplied those rates by our annual sales volumes to estimate the number of liters of cow’s milk Oatly has helped convert and the amount of CO2e saved.
We declare the climate impact of many of our products on our packages and the web to give you the power to make informed choices about what to buy when you’re shopping. Of course, it would be better if you could compare the climate footprint of all products in the grocery store just like you can compare the ingredients and the nutritional value, but everyone’s not onboard with that idea yet. In the
meantime, we are working toward publishing the product climate footprints for all our products. By the end of 2022, 98% of our sales volume in EMEA and 47% in North America included climate declarations. We also started to calculate footprints for products in Australia, but you’ll have to wait for next year’s Sustainability update to read about the results. Learn more
