Sustainable spicing

To ensure availability of raw materials in the long-term we prioritise sustainability throughout the supply chain. At the source we support farmers to improve their agricultural practices and protect their livelihood through Nedspice Farmers Partnership Programme (NFPP). As a partner of the Sustainable Spices Initiative (SSI) we push collective industry transformation forward. Through various projects with governments, NGO’s and research centres we contribute to sustainable innovation.

But most importantly, our expertise in sourcing and distribution combined with our presence in origin provides that we can do all this in a cost-efficient and quality consistent manner. This is what we call sustainable spicing.
