Better for People

We’re working to create a happy, healthy, and diverse workforce. Our targets include a lost-time accident rate that is 25% below the industry average and maintaining an employee satisfaction score (eNPS) significantly above 30

Better Agriculture

We’re training all our contract farmers in sustainable agriculture. We’re also launching ten biodiversity projects as well as five social livelihood projects to help the farmers in our supply chain and their communities

Better Operations

We’re taking action to cut CO2 emissions in our factories by at least 50%, improve water efficiency by 20%, and reduce CO2 emissions in intralogistics by 15%. We will strive to ensure at least 75% of side steams remain food ingredients

Better Products

We’re aiming to cut the Product Environmental Footprint for EXBERRY® product ranges by 25%. We’re enhancing sustainability by increasing the color intensity of our main crops by 30% through seed quality and farming techniques

Facts and Figures

GNT was the first Coloring Foods supplier to issue a Greenhouse Gas Verification Statement

Helping Highland Farmers in Peru

We’re supporting remote highland communities in Peru’s San Marcos Province, where climate change and pollution have put food security and livelihoods in danger. We’ve contributed €25,000 to “Peru: Water, Wind, and Trees” to help improve water infrastructure, promote reforestation, and train farmers in organic practices.

Taking Action on Evaporation

Evaporation is a major challenge. We rely on it to increase the dry matter of our concentrates, but it’s a very energy-intensive process. We’re now using filtration to increase dry matter content and reduce the amount of evaporation required. We’re also exploring more sustainable approaches to heat generation to help us reach our goals

We believe in transparency. Our annual report gives you comprehensive insights into our goals, actions, and progress on our sustainability journey so far.
