Our 2030 Aspirations Focus on Three Key Areas: 

  • Partnering to Create Sustainable Food System Networks:

    We aim to build sustainable food systems that restore nature and improve livelihoods. This includes collaborating with customers, suppliers, and external stakeholders to scale regenerative agriculture and achieve net-zero supply chains. 

  • Developing a Nutritious and Sustainable Portfolio:

    Our goal is to create products that positively impact people and the planet. We achieve this by offering raw materials and developing blends that meet high standards for nutrition and sustainability, enhancing our customers’ product profiles. 

  • Creating New Markets and Serving the Underserved:

    We strive to develop nutritious, affordable, and accessible products for underserved markets. By leveraging our expertise, we open new market segments and promote health through consumer-preferred, affordable products. 

External Partnerships

Partnerships are key to achieving our sustainability ambitions. Through participation and membership in external groups, we are working to amplify our impact and employ best practices in our operations.
