Operating principles
Sustainable supply chains
We analyse your business needs, then source and deliver the right alternative raw materials.

We develop and manage long term supply chains from sourcing and certification to terminal management and shipping.

All supply chains must provide positive environmental and social economic benefits to the surrounding region.
Circular to the core 
We develop supply chains only if the organic matter used in the process cannot be used for more circular alternatives.

We focus on the certification, phytosanitary, and quality requirements of bringing the raw materials from source to process.

Our unique, innovative approach helps to deliver business results within planetary boundaries. 
Climate care
Our goal is to address the growing challenges of climate change and pressures on natural resources.

Working with our global partner network, we identify, develop, structure, invest in and implement supply chains that deliver social and environmental benefits as well as security of supply to our customers.

We are proud to play a small part towards safeguarding our planet for future generations.
