At Tirlán we are proud to introduce Living Proof, our commitment to farming, food and the future. It is our sustainability promise for a better way and a better world for generations to come.

We’ve committed to science-based targets set out under the Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi), and have 14 very clear and unambiguous targets for Carbon Reduction, Regenerative Agriculture, Natural Nutrition, and the Circular Economy.
