Together towards a sustainable food system
The best place to start accelerating our sustainability efforts is right at the beginning of our value chain, at farm level. By promoting sustainable farming practices, we avoid land degradation, preserve water resources, foster biodiversity, redress social inequalities, create safe working places, improve animal welfare, and more. Moreover, we address climate change, since 81% of Solina’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are linked to purchased goods and services.
Our 2030 targets
100% sourcing from sustainable suppliers
Sustainable suppliers are suppliers who …
… sign and uphold our Supplier Code of Conduct
… complete an EcoVadis or Sedex assessment (or equivalent)
… obtain an EcoVadis score of 60 (or equivalent) as a preferred supplier
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 81% is linked to purchased good and services (raw materials and packaging). This target reflects our commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), while we boast SBTi validation on Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) targets.
Progress and highlights
100%
of Solina’s preferred suppliers in the EMEA region are on EcoVadis or Sedex.
“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.”
