At Refresco we strongly believe in good alignment to improve the total supply chain for all parties involved. We work in close collaboration with all stakeholders, internally and externally. A purchasing contract is more than just a price for a specified product. Innovation is also key to maintain our leading market position, and we invest in continuous improvement to advance competitiveness. Because we source raw materials and packaging materials from around the world, we are constantly improving our sustainable sourcing practices. Sustainable Supply Chains We align our ambition to purchase sustainable materials with the needs of our customers and we secure long-term availability of our key raw materials by working towards improving social compliance and environmental standards across our supply chains. We want to work closely with producers of raw materials and we aim to decrease our dependency on regions where economic or political turmoil and extreme weather can severely disrupt our supply chain. Refresco's Supplier Code of Conduct We require our suppliers to comply with local legislation and sign the Refresco Supplier Code of Conduct. Refresco expects its suppliers to embed the Code of Conduct into their organizations and their supply chain by developing and implementing appropriate internal business processes. Supplier code of conduct Refresco aims for 100% sustainably sourced juice by 2030 In 2017 Refresco signed up for the Sustainable Juice Covenant aiming for 100% sustainably sourced juice in 2030. Sustainable Juice Covenant The covenant is open to all actors in the juice supply chain and it is managed by IDH Sustainable Trade Initiative. We were looking for tools to translate our sustainable sourcing ambitions to concrete actions. As a result, we entered in discussions with IDH about an industry wide, global initiative with a joint definition of sustainability including social, human rights and environmental matters. The covenant is aimed to make the sourcing, production and trade of juices, purees and concentrates 100% sustainable by 2030. While 2030 may seem a long way to go we should deliver the first 15% in 2018 and then year-on-year, as the number of customers requiring us to source sustainable juice grows, we will make further steps towards the 100% goal. In 2017 a major step forward was our commitment to source a significant portion of our orange juice supply from Rainforest Alliance certified suppliers.
