Sustainability - Foundations

FOUNDATIONS
Reinforcing strong foundations we can build on.

Our Foundations form the basis of our Sustainability Strategy. Each of the four priorities is essential to define how we operate, promoting excellence, accountability, and a positive impact that transcends generations.

Environmental Standards and Sustainable Buildings

Our environmental standards and sustainable buildings are designed to ensure operations that are efficient, responsible, and inclusive, and aligned with our global sustainability strategy. Reducing emissions, optimizing resources, and moving toward a circular economy.

Food Quality and Safety

Our customers are at the heart of every decision we make, which is why we strive to meet their needs by offering high-quality products that strictly comply with safety standards. These practices have earned us recognition and made us the preferred choice by building and maintaining consumer trust.

Human Rights and Labor Standards

Human rights are at the core of our business. They drive us to uphold the human dignity of everyone involved in our value chain.

Sustainable Sourcing of Raw Materials

Our goal is to promote responsible sourcing throughout the value chain to ensure a reduction in socio-environmental impacts.

Target 16.2: All our operations comply with the International Labor Organization (ILO) standards on the prohibition of child labor and forced labor. All our organizations have access to a dashboard designed to detect, prevent, and mitigate labor irregularities. We carry out quarterly checks that allow us to communicate, monitor, and combat factors that could undermine the labor guarantees of our associates.

Target 16.5: To identify and mitigate compliance risks in our organizations, we rely on a robust risk analysis methodology that includes constant monitoring and self-assessments. To combat money laundering, we consider various factors for its identification, paying special attention to cash transactions.
