Sustainability

At Cibus, sustainability is not just a story we tell, it's how we build better, more resilient and more valuable businesses.

Case Study: The Value-Add of Adaptation

The Summer Berry Co.

Since 2019, Cibus has helped The Summer Berry Company cut reliance on external water sources in Portugal through investments in rainwater capture, reservoir expansion, and efficient irrigation, with local aquatic species aiding natural water purification.

By 2024, the site was self-sourcing 60% of its irrigation water, up from zero in 2019 – saving c. 4% of annual EBITDA and avoiding up to €14 million in drought-related losses.

This is hard proof of the material value of climate adaptation in agriculture.

Case Study: Using remuneration to drive accountability

Withcott Seedlings

In our private equity deals, ESG goals are built into long-term incentive plans, ensuring leaders are accountable and aligned with sustainability outcomes. Each plan includes clear long-term targets, with progress reviewed annually by the board.

Since 2022, we’ve been piloting a new LTIP model that links vesting conditions to ESG performance. The approach has strengthened management ownership and delivered measurable impact, with 10–20 ESG actions set and achieved each year.

This is how ESG moves from a standalone function to a leadership priority.
