Sustainable Development and Activity report Roquette Annual Report Success Stories For all Starch Europe members, keeping employees safe is an absolute priority Local procurement in Gokak For years, the site in Gokak (India) procured its packaging and other purchased products from the Gujarat region, nearly 1,000km from the plant. The supply chain team conducted a search for suppliers closer to the site, to reduce the environmental impact of transporting purchased materials. For example, the distance for transport was reduced by more than 90% for plastic and paper packaging. This optimizes transportation-related costs, reduces supply times and also decreases the site’s carbon footprint and consequently its impact on climate change.
