Food For Future: Transforming the food system for a low carbon world
Company Achievements and Role of the Entrepreneur
2017 was a seminal moment as Dan laid out a roadmap for the company over the next three years to become a global platform for the future of food in seeking to find solutions on how to feed ten billion people by 2050 and decarbonize the world in doing so. To shift the company, Dan quickly committed to the 1.5-degree pledge (Paris accord) and committed to the United Nations global compact by integrating the UN sustainable development goals into NRF core operations back in 2017.
NRF today is the first carbon-neutral certified food factory in Thailand. In addition, to build upon NRF’s leadership in global policy Dan spearheaded a new program with Forum of the Future, which is a leading global non-profit that launched plant-based foods into the mainstream with their important paper in 2015 ‘The protein challenge of 2040’. The program is a three-year policy agenda to rethink how companies should be valued in the context of climate change and sustainability.
In three years, Dan led NRF to an initial public offering in October 2020 and had the 2nd best IPO opening of the year, and it was more than 9x oversubscribed by institutions. As of March 2021, NRF has a market capitalization of USD500 million. NRF is the first public company to commit to a 1.5-degree pledge and the race to net zero. He was recognized by Time magazine, Bloomberg, Forbes, CNN, and many international media publications for the company’s global vision to transform the world through food system transformation. Recently, NRF was incorporated into ESG 100 and quickly added to the SET 100 index within only 9 months of listing. With his recognition as a climate actor, he was invited to be a speaker at many events and attend many sustainability events, especially COP26 which is the world’s largest climate mitigation forum and is also recognized by the World Economic Forum as a protein champion.
Vision, Mission, & Future Plans
Dan’s vision is to pursue NRF’s vision to make sustainable food experiences enjoyable while raising the quality of life for the company’s stakeholders, and in doing so, making the world more sustainable one SKU at a time. It is his goal to create a great experience that the consumers can have with delicious and sustainable specialty food products that delight and enrich people’s lives through developing innovative products that improve not only taste, but that is also better for the people and the planet.
Action speaks louder than words. As Dan attempts to penetrate every platform to educate the people on the need to take action, he is concluding his purpose to bring decarbonization and sustainability to the world. “We don’t need to wait for the future before we make a move”, as he always says, “the future is now”.
