Together towards a sustainable food system
As a global company that mainly sources natural ingredients, creating meaningful change starts at the very foundation of our value chain – on the farms and in the fields. By sourcing sustainably grown and responsibly processed ingredients, we ensure quality and continuity for our customers.
Our 2030 targets
100% sourcing from sustainable suppliers
By sustainable suppliers, we mean suppliers who (1) sign our Supplier Code of Conduct and (2) obtain a minimum EcoVadis score of 50 (or equivalent rating). For strategic and preferred suppliers, we request a minimum EcoVadis score of 60 (or equivalent rating).
100% sustainable sourcing of high-impact raw material categories
Our high-impact materials are …
… spices
… flours products
… starches
… animal proteins
25% reduction of Scope 3 GHG emissions
Scope 3 emissions represent the carbon linked to our upstream and downstream value chain, of which 79% is linked to purchased goods and services (raw materials and packaging). This target was validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Progress and highlights
Our suppliers find their way to EcoVadis or Sedex
100% of Solina’s strategic and preferred suppliers in the EMEA region are on EcoVadis or Sedex.
Based on our spend, 56% of all our suppliers are on Ecovadis or Sedex.
Moving the needle on high-impact raw material categories
By 2030, we aim to achieve 100% sustainable sourcing of our four high-impact raw materials: starches, flour, animal protein, and spices. In 2025, we progress on all high-impact categories, but at a slower pace. Global financial situation and availability issues meant some challenges, but we still reached a milestone, where 45% of our starches come from sustainable sources.
Closing in on 100% certified palm oil
Almost all our sites are already strictly using certified palm oil, conforming with the Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). In 2025, 94% of all palm oil we bought was RSPO certified.

“Solina has been a member of the Sustainable Spices Initiative (SSI) since 2018. The SSI aims to secure future sourcing and stimulate economic growth in producing countries by sustainably transforming the sector. Together with other companies and NGOs, we participate in workstreams focusing on themes such as climate change and child labour mitigation. We chair the latter project group. As a main partner of a consortium of significant companies in the spice industry, we also support a child labour initiative in Vietnam.”
