Sustainable cultivation: Getting the green light

According to our corporate philosophy, we only build farms where sustainable growing is possible. Before we start a relationship with a growing partner, we create a profile. The criteria we use here are strict: The sowing, protection of the soil, crop rotation, water consumption, plant preservation, waste management and transport must all be environmentally friendly. Together with our agricultural engineers, we test whether the minimum requirements (such as the GLOBALG.A.P. and/or QS-GAP) and the factors of environmental protection, social issues and health and safety are all met. We don’t enter into a binding collaboration until all these points have been fulfilled. Additionally, we have our own SanLucar auditing system. You can find more information here.
