Sustainability

Responsible Supply Chains

Because of our position in the food system connecting farmers to consumers, we are focused on demonstrating responsible leadership. That means we endeavor to create positive environmental and social impact, reflecting the Perkilo value of doing what’s right by acting safely, ethically and sustainably.

We continue to advance sustainable outcomes via supply chains in our key sourcing regions through our commitments, commercial innovations, and strong track record of good governance.As expectations and demands for climate action and supply chain transparency grow, we collaboratively promote sustainable agriculture by engaging with farmers, women cooperatives, NGOs and other partners to seek scalable, socially responsible solutions to common challenges facing the world today.

Better Sourcing

Perkilo is committed to sustainable sourcing, and we are well aware of the important role we play in the food value chain. Through the Better Sourcing framework, we engage to transform and go the extra mile to implement continuous improvement programs at the farm level.

We constantly engage with our farmers to ensure continuous improvement and that raw materials are produced in a sustainable way, protecting biodiversity, ecosystems and reducing our environmental impact, while safeguarding human rights and people’s livelihoods.

Traceability

A FULLY TRACEABLE SUPPLY CHAIN
Traceability is an integral part of providing greater transparency in our supply chain. We have developed processes for tracing our products from the farm to the mills and from the mills to the refineries we collaborate with. This mapping enables the tracing of every product to its point of origin.
UNTRACEABLE
Suppliers and their products can only be traceable by providing all the required information. Should any detail be incomplete or missing, we will treat that supply as untraceable. Even when the origin of the product is known. The traceability values are based on the recorded volumes supplied to our locations over a period.

Governance

Perkilo’s management carries out its commitments through its dedicated management, personnel and business collaborations, whether they concern ethical policies, compliance with regulations or responsible sourcing, procurement and production.

Certifications

Our products are covered under the ISO 14001:2004, HALAL and KOSHER International Certification for specialty oils and fats.
