Our commitment

We wish to conduct our activities in a sustainable manner.  This goes for our products and our production, for our perception of human beings and the environment, and for the economy of our business.

With words from the Brundtland report from 1987 "Sustainable development seeks to meet the needs and aspirations of the present without compromising the ability to meet those of the future."

We have a Code of Business Principles which is enforced throughout the organisation. Our codex is closely related to the principles of Global Compact.

FAO's International Code of Conduct for Distribution and use of Pesticides is taken into account in the sales conditions we rely on in our daily business.

Seven billion people to feed

The world population is increasing and has passed 7 billion. The UN expects that the number will increase to 9.25 billion in 2050. The greatest challenge for humanity is therefore the ability to secure food for an ever increasing number of people. Even if the agricultural area can not be extended.
