Sustainability
Strengthening relationships between our company, environment and communities
Our Sustainability Pillars
Sustainability is about trying to create a better future and do the right thing for all of our stakeholders, all of the time. In line with our ethos and commitment to constantly improve the environmental footprint we create and the contribution we make to the world as a business, we focus our energies on five key Corporate Responsibility (CR) pillars:
Our Community
We play a proactive role in our local communities by creating jobs, buying local and supporting educational, community and charity groups.
Our People
We are committed to being a best-in-class employer and ensuring our workplaces are safe and welcoming for all.
Our Supply Chain
Food safety and security is at the core of everything we do and we work hard to ensure traceability and ethical sourcing across all our supply chains.
Our Marketplace
We constantly innovate to produce healthier, more ethical and sustainable products to help consumers make better choices and lead better lives.
Sustainable Vanilla
Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility efforts are integral to our vanilla supply chain.
Generational relationships, built over decades of collaboration and widely varied market conditions, are at the heart of our trusted network of partners in the SAVA region of Madagascar. Working with the Madagascar Development Fund and other investment partners, we’re committed to giving back to the underserved vanilla growing region, building schools, and establishing clean water systems throughout the area.
