Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of our purpose. Set towards, planet-friendly food. This means growing food responsibly, reducing our carbon footprint, supporting the communities where we operate and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come. This is ingrained in our company ethos, inspired by our founders’ belief that good ethics is good business.
We believe in using reusable and eco-friendly packaging, with;
• Optimize packaging use.
• Materials that have a lower environmental impact.
• Recycled materials
We provide a whole package of measures to ensure that flour fortification can be integrated simply and efficiently into the routine of the mills. A permanent undersupply of vitamins and minerals can be very dangerous to the health and healthy development of children. Millions of people around the globe are at risk of such micronutrient deficiencies and especially children and women are affected by hidden hunger. Fortified flour can help to tackle this problem.
