Supply chain excellence

Improving data and insights for more transparent and traceable supply chains.

Our teams on the ground in all major growing countries engage with suppliers often in very remote areas to help drive the right practices and mitigate risks. Data  also plays a key role in our ability to offer a safe, secure supply of traceable and sustainable ingredients, which is why we are constantly innovating and developing new tools to gather even better data, improve traceability, and deliver more efficient and impactful sustainability programs.

We focus on:

  • Traceability: investment in putting teams on the ground in all major growing countries and in digital tools to drive traceability and transparency right back to farmer groups and estates.
  • Supplier engagement: Engaging suppliers through the ofi Agri Supplier Code and and sustainability programs in farming communities.
  • Verification: using independent, third-party auditors to verify data on our AtSource sustainability management system.
  • Risk and compliance: Helping customers, where possible, to meet certain requirements on regulation and law developments. Rolling out initiatives to ensure compliance with relevant local and regional laws — such as CLMRS (link to Human Rights page) in our cocoa origins.
  • Data and insights: Offering our customer rich, granular social and environmental data via our sustainability management system, AtSource.

Alongside our global sourcing network and on the ground intel, data plays a key role in our ability to offer a safe, secure supply of traceable and sustainable ingredients. This is why we are constantly innovating and developing new tools to gather even better data, improve traceability, and deliver more efficient and impactful sustainability programs.
