FrieslandCampina Kievit: leading partner in social responsibility and sustainability

We care about the future of our planet and our people. We are aware that by 2050, the world needs to feed 2 billion people more than now, an enormous challenge. At FrieslandCampina Kievit we set ourselves challenging goals w.r.t. sustainability and social responsibility in line with FrieslandCampina’s purpose ‘Nourishing by Nature’. We passionately work on better nutrition for the world, a good living for the farmers, now and for generations to come.

Providing responsible and sustainable solutions

At FrieslandCampina Kievit we create moments of indulgence. We realise that a true moment of indulgence requires peace of mind regarding the origin and manufacturing of our ingredients. So we drive doing business in a responsible and sustainable way. We partner with our customers in achieving their defined CSR ambitions. We foster dialogue and collaborate with customers and other partners in the value chain with the view to building a sustainable future in a responsible way.

Transparant labelling

We know consumers love moments of indulgence and they’re also making more conscientious choices. They rely on us to provide ingredients with a transparent origin. Products that contribute to the preservation of our planet and its people. For years, FrieslandCampina Kievit link its ingredients’ names to their sustainable palm status, RSPO SG or MB. In all standard commercial documentation customers can immediately see to what extent the palm oil used in our ingredients is sustainable.

Sustainable sourcing

Key objectives for our supply chain include the purchase of raw materials from sustainable cultivation. Key for FrieslandCampina Kievit is the sourcing of sustainable palm oil. We strongly believe that this is of added value for now and generations to come. FrieslandCampina is an early member of the RSPO and FrieslandCampina Kievit positions in the market as frontrunner by sourcing Palm Oil SG for its Food Ingredients portfolio for the pastry & decoration, desserts and savoury markets.

Sustainable production

In production key objectives include energy and waste water reduction by working smarter and more efficiently. We have implemented an energy Efficiency and water-reduction plans in our plants. The aim is to achieve climate-neutral growth and reduce the use of scarce natural resources, this in line with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. That’s how we focus on future generations.
