Ethical Trade
Through our Code of Conduct, communicated and signed by our suppliers, we emphasize the importance of the requirements we place on our suppliers and their subcontractors regarding human rights, working conditions, environment, and anti-corruption.

Environmental Policy
As a player in the food chain, we strive to be a sustainable supplier by staying updated on the environmental and sustainability goals that exist in the industry. Whether it's small daily efforts or large projects, it ultimately contributes to a sustainable society. Our current major focus areas, which are also in line with the food industry's sustainability manifesto, are as follows:
Reducing Food Waste
Through good planning, a structured and proactive approach, and through close collaboration between our customers and suppliers, our main driving force is to minimize and ultimately almost eliminate food waste within our responsibility by 2025.
Reducing Plastic Environmental Impact
We are working to ensure that all our plastic packaging is recyclable by 2025. By 2030, our plastic packaging should also be made from renewable or recycled materials.
