Codruța MĂNĂILĂ Quality Project Manager Social standards in the supply chain We are aware that in the supply chain stages of growing and processing raw materials for private label products, the risk of not respecting social and labor standards is very high. To counteract them, we work closely with our suppliers. Establishing and continuously improving social and environmental standards and specific practices throughout the supply chain is a lengthy process, but particularly important to provide our customers with sustainable products. Through sustainable supply chain management, we ensure: z Sourcing responsibly by investing locally to develop suppliers, z Respecting and promoting human rights and appropriate working conditions for our employees, z Informing employees about the requirements in Romania, z Informing customers about the country of origin of products, nutrition elements and food ingredients. In our private label chains, we can exert influence in cooperation with suppliers, and through certifications and audits by recognized standard organizations and multistakeholder initiatives, we seek to avoid and reduce negative impacts on human rights.
