The way we operate, purchase goods, and choose our business partners can impact people and their communities in our supply chains. By working closely with suppliers, manufacturers, retailers, multi-stakeholder initiatives, and civil society organisations, we can align our approaches and set standards. Human Rights are non-negotiable, and we want them embedded into the core of our business.

While packaging is indispensable for many products, it often ends up as waste. Therefore, it is crucial to consider the way in which we buy, use, and dispose of packaging. Our teams are looking into material reduction, recyclability, and circularity. In the end, reducing waste means less harm to the environment.

We are aware that our business activities have a significant impact on the climate and the environment. Promoting sustainable agricultural practices and ensuring deforestation-free supply chains are essential to moving in the right direction. Our team is working towards net-zero by reducing carbon emissions in our own operations and along our supply chains.

Our International Sustainability department is responsible for the strategic positioning and business implementation of sustainability measures across the group. It is the driving force behind our Group Global Sustainability Strategy. This involves a range of teams working as one: including legislation, reporting, business process optimisation, IT, data analytics and communication.
