Applications Products Philosophy News & Blog Contact Sustainability Sustainability is at the heart of SVZ and transcends every level of our business. As part of the Royal Cosun farming co-operative, our operations are built using sustainable agricultural practices. We are committed to efficient supply chain management and work hard to drive production efficiencies that minimise our use of energy and water and reduce harm to the environment. For us, sustainability is an essential responsibility that we take seriously, and that’s why we’re committed to achieving 100% sustainable sourcing by 2030. It’s only by shifting our own mindset – and the mindsets of our stakeholders – that we can transform our business and implement real positive change across our supply chain. That’s why we’re passionate about introducing new sustainable initiatives and sharing knowledge with our partner farmers – so that more environmentally responsible ways of thinking can be introduced and maintained at every level of SVZ. So we can all grow better together. CONTACT US Our three pillars SVZ’s sustainability commitment underpins the entire business, and our focus is primarily on three core areas: agriculture, operations and people. By ensuring that ethical, environmentally responsible processes are introduced into each of these core areas, we can make a real difference. SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE We pride ourselves on a strong supply chain network that encourages collaboration and communication at every level of the business. It’s in this way that we ensure the very highest quality and sustainability standards are implemented – from fields to factories. Through initiatives like farmer training, ecosystem monitoring and constant auditing, we guarantee that all fruits and vegetables delivered are grown through responsible techniques. EFFICIENT OPERATIONS All our factories and processing plants are located close to source, ensuring that our ingredients have optimal taste, colour and nutrient retention. It also means we reduce our dependency on transport, while other initiatives focus on minimising waste, as well as our water and energy usage. 1 2 3 Sustainable Initiatives COMPOSTABLE MULCHING PAPER DOWNLOAD THE INFOGRAPHIC BIOLOGICAL CONTROL DOWNLOAD THE INFOGRAPHIC KNOWLEDGE SHARING Let's create a better future, together CONTACT US Latest News 2021 HARVEST REVIEW October 4, 2021 After a wetter than average spring, the summer season didn’t disappoint, with parts of Europe reaching their...
