As environmental indicators continue to show signs of a world under increasing pressure, the urgent need for action to decouple growth from environmental impacts becomes ever clearer. As we continue to lead the industry in the delivery of taste and nutrition solutions, we are committed to ensuring that our success does not come at the expense of the Earth and its inhabitants. We care about our communities and the environment. Our objective is to ensure we do not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
We are a company committed to responsible sustainable development. We put this into practice through our comprehensive sustainability program, Towards 2020. This includes initiatives such as working with our vanilla bean supply partners in Madagascar to improve conditions for farmers and their families; partnering with Concern Worldwide in working with those facing hunger and malnutrition within the world’s poorest communities; and committing to fair labour standards and sustainable raw material sourcing targets across our raw material categories. We also continue to ensure that we meet the highest possible environmental standards throughout our manufacturing operations.
At Kerry, sustainability is at the heart of our business. The continued implementation of our Towards 2020 strategy, which defines our sustainability aspirations, plans and goals, is fundamental to our growth and success. Our approach to sustainable development is based around four key pillars.
We acknowledge the universal impact of climate change and the need to stimulate economic and business development in a sustainable manner. We have programmes in place to measure, manage and reduce climate change impact.
