Responsible behaviour is firmly anchored in our self-image, and is supported by our corporate values and clearly defined principles.
As a food sector company that operates internationally, we see sustainable action as an important part of our responsibility. Our sustainability strategy shapes our decisions more than ever, and is the central building block of our long-term success. It has an integrated design that encompasses all of the processes and corporate areas. In this respect, we focus on four areas of action with different key topics.
In 2024, we additionally introduced our group-wide Fuchs Gruppe Standard as an important contribution to further develop our international sustainability management. Based on employee numbers our subsidiaries are required to live up to different standards within the next few years.
Most of the raw goods for our products are cultivated in faraway countries outside Europe which have the climatic conditions required for their farming. Our procurement strategy is complex due to the variety of the raw goods. It is therefore all the more important for us to guarantee the greatest possible transparency in regard to the agricultural products and their origins. After all, the quality of our products is based on the way they are farmed. We therefore believe it is self-evident to treat quality assurance and management as the top priority in our entire value and supply chain.
With more than 10,000 products, we offer our customers and consumers a unique range of spices, herbs and other flavourings. Transparency with regard to ingredients is just as important as taking sustainability aspects into account during product development. In this context, we also focus on packaging, and want to steadily increase the proportion of recyclates and recyclability.
People are at the heart of our success! We want to be an attractive employer for our employees, one that offers them a working environment in which they can fully develop their skills, potential and motivation to work and acquire further qualifications, while at the same time protecting and promoting their health. As an international company operating in the food industry, our concern extends far beyond our own workforce. We also wish to take responsibility for the people around the world whose work contributes to the creation of our products.
For us as a spice manufacturer, an intact environment is of particular importance, since many of our raw materials only grow under certain climatic conditions. We therefore attach great importance to using resources responsibly. We work at various levels to minimise consumption, especially of energy and water, and to reduce wastes in the production process. We have also become a member of the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTI) in order to reduce our long-term greenhouse gas emissions in our own business area and in the entire upstream and downstream value-added chain.
In cooperation with the Scharlaug forestry company, we are reforesting agricultural land in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and converting existing forest areas. Forestry reports and comprehensive site analyses were used to identify the potential of the forest in advance and determine the optimal strategies for its conversion. These measures strengthen the ecological integrity of the region and support biodiversity. The efforts are deeply rooted in sustainable development and are in line with the SDGs.
