Throughout the hazelnut's journey from the orchard to our customers, we act in line with the principles of responsible production, protection of natural resources, social responsibility and traceability.
Under our 2026–2030 Sustainable Hazelnut Programme we apply a production model that supports our growers, improves our environmental and social performance, aligns with international expectations and creates long-term value.
Our 2026–2030 Sustainable Hazelnut Programme
We structure our sustainability work around five core focus areas: Responsible Agriculture, People and Social Responsibility, Environmental Performance, Organic Production Approach, and International Standards.
Responsible Agriculture
We support our growers with good agricultural practices in pruning, fertilisation, irrigation and harvesting. Through soil-analysis-based applications, integrated pest management, digital field records and sound agricultural techniques, we run practices that support productive cultivation, product quality and the protection of natural resources.
People and Social Responsibility
At every stage of our production processes we prioritise human rights, ethical labour principles and safe working conditions. We carry out work on preventing child labour, supporting fair recruitment practices, and improving occupational health and safety and employee wellbeing.
Through training, awareness activities and continuous improvement practices for our growers and employees, we create long-term social value in our production regions.
Environmental Performance and Traceability
We manage all our processes from raw material sourcing to finished product dispatch through recordable and verifiable systems, building a transparent and reliable supply chain.
We continuously improve our environmental performance through practices aimed at the efficient use of energy and water resources, reducing our carbon footprint, preventing food waste and optimising packaging.
Our Organic Production Approach
We treat organic production as an important part of our sustainable agriculture approach. We run our production processes in line with practices that support the protection of natural resources, the continuity of product quality and a responsible production mindset.
Through this work we continuously develop our organic production practices and, together with our growers, contribute to spreading a culture of sustainable agriculture.
International Standards
We carry out our production processes in line with international quality and food safety systems, led by BRCGS, FSSC 22000 and HACCP. Our comprehensive certification infrastructure underpins the reliability of our production processes and enables us to manufacture in line with international customer expectations.
At the same time, by continuing our work towards international sustainability and social compliance standards, we keep developing our production infrastructure and processes in line with global expectations.
We advance our sustainability approach with each passing day and reflect this mindset across every area of our business.
