We believe that our success as a company is tied to the well-being of our employees and the health of our communities and the environment. We aspire to operate our business in a sustainable manner to become the employer, supplier, neighbour, investment and Company of Choice for our many stakeholders. We intend to achieve this by rigorously incorporating sustainable practices and maintaining high moral and ethical standards wherever we do business. We will adhere to our core values of Safety, Quality, Integrity, Respect, Excellence and Innovation as we continue to grow our business into a world-leading ingredient solutions provider.

Providing a secure and healthy work environment for our employees is our priority. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety at our facilities and continually strive to achieve zero injuries to our employees, visitors and those working on our behalf.

Social accountability

We are dedicated to the welfare of our employees, business associates and the communities in which we operate. We promote ethical business practices and strive to protect and support human rights. We know that our efforts to maintain a socially responsible supply chain are important to our business, our customers and other stakeholders.

Environmental conservation

We are dedicated to being good stewards of the environment. We understand the importance of environmentally sound manufacturing practices that conserve resources and enable us to grow our business in a sustainable manner. We recognise the human need for access to key resources such as clean water and, throughout our organisation, we focus on conserving natural resources. We encourage our employees to participate in conservation efforts, both at work and in their communities.
