At Kersia, our mission is to invent and deliver solutions that improve food safety and protect resources for future generations. This commitment is deeply rooted in our core values of Transparency, Proficiency, Sharing, and Foresight. Our recent membership of the BioRevolution Coalition is a powerful example of how these values guide our actions and strengthen our ambition to create a more sustainable future.
Why the BioRevolution Coalition Matters
The BioRevolution Coalition is a nationwide campaign that brings together citizens, industry leaders, and parliamentarians to accelerate the growth of the UK's bioeconomy. The coalition advocates for policies that support the development and adoption of bio-based solutions, helping to reduce reliance on fossil resources while driving economic growth, innovation, and national resilience.
Bio-based solutions use renewable resources such as plants and agricultural waste to create everyday products including packaging, cosmetics, cleaning products, fuels, and medicines. By encouraging the transition towards these more sustainable alternatives, the coalition aims to build a more resilient and future-ready economy while reducing emissions and waste.
For Kersia, participation in this movement aligns perfectly with our strategy to develop more sustainable, biotechnology-derived ingredients and solutions that support our customers and the wider food industry.
Transparency: Driving Open Dialogue and Understanding
Transparency is about being open, honest, and accountable in everything we do. As the bioeconomy continues to evolve, clear communication between industry, regulators, policymakers, and society is essential to build trust and encourage adoption of new technologies.
By joining the BioRevolution Coalition, Kersia is supporting a platform that promotes informed discussion around biotechnology and sustainable innovation. The coalition seeks to raise awareness of the benefits of bio-based solutions while advocating for regulatory frameworks that enable innovation to flourish.
As Martin Garland, Kersia's R&D Chemistry Director, explains:
"As we strive towards the introduction of more sustainable, biotechnology derived ingredients, it is important that the surrounding policies, regulations, and knowledge can help to facilitate their adoption into society. We look forward to participating in the transformation towards a secure bioeconomy."
This commitment to transparency helps ensure that advances in biotechnology are understood, trusted, and embraced responsibly.
Proficiency: Applying Expertise to Solve Tomorrow's Challenges
Innovation requires knowledge, expertise, and scientific excellence. Proficiency is one of Kersia's defining values, reflected in our ongoing investment in research and development.
The BioRevolution Coalition highlights the significant opportunity biotechnology and engineering biology present for the UK economy and its sustainability ambitions. The UK possesses world-class scientific capabilities, but continued collaboration and supportive policies are needed to fully commercialise these innovations.
At Kersia, our R&D teams are continuously exploring new technologies and sustainable ingredients that can enhance product performance while reducing environmental impact. Being part of the coalition enables us to contribute our scientific expertise while learning from other leaders across the biotechnology and bioeconomy sectors.
Sharing: Collaborating for Greater Impact
No organisation can drive transformational change alone. Sharing knowledge, expertise, and best practices is essential to unlocking the full potential of sustainable innovation.
The BioRevolution Coalition exists because of collaboration. It brings together organisations from across multiple sectors with a common goal: accelerating the UK's transition to a thriving bioeconomy.
For Kersia, this reflects our value of Sharing. By working alongside fellow coalition members, we can contribute to collective learning, support industry-wide progress, and help develop solutions that benefit businesses, consumers, and the environment alike.
Collaboration allows innovation to move faster, creating opportunities to develop safer, more sustainable products while strengthening the resilience of supply chains and reducing dependency on finite fossil resources.
Foresight: Investing in a Sustainable Future
Perhaps no Kersia value is more closely connected to our involvement in the BioRevolution Coalition than Foresight.
Foresight means anticipating future challenges and acting today to create positive outcomes tomorrow. Global pressures such as climate change, resource scarcity, and increasing sustainability expectations require businesses to think beyond immediate needs and invest in long-term solutions.
The coalition argues that the UK has a unique opportunity to become a global leader in the bioeconomy, creating skilled jobs, attracting investment, and developing new industries based on renewable biological resources.
For Kersia, supporting this vision aligns with our long-term sustainability ambitions. Biotechnology-derived ingredients and bio-based innovations have the potential to help reduce environmental impact, improve resource efficiency, and support the transition towards a more circular economy.
By engaging with policymakers, industry leaders, and scientific experts today, we are helping create the conditions that will enable future sustainable solutions to thrive.
