Sustainability is a top priority for Nordzucker. As a food producer, sustainable thinking and acting are a natural part of their daily activity.

Their goal is to continuously optimize it together with suppliers, service providers, employees and customers. Traceability, quality and reliability, as well as rigorous social and ethical standards guarantee the customers that they have found the right partner in them.

The approach to sustainability will play a decisive role in helping them to address them.
