Impacts, Risks and Opportunities

Sustainability in Food and Tobacco

Anti-caking aid in salt, coloring in chicken eggs, fruit cream fillings without fruit: when it comes to processed foods, consumers want to know more and more precisely what is in it and whether the opportunities of sustainable production are being used.

Sustainability therefore begins with product development, includes the choice of ingredients, suppliers and production processes – and extends to recording all emissions that occur throughout a product’s entire life cycle. The industry is faced with growing customer demands for variety, seasonal variations and the assumption of corporate responsibility.
Transparency along complex process chains and the development of real environmental benefits are just as much a challenge as more sustainable packaging, measures to preserve biodiversity in growing areas and social commitment.

The industry includes, for example, the production of processed and integrated foods and food ingredients as well as tobacco processing. Spice processing companies are assigned to the “coffee, tea and spices” industry, while bakery and confectionery manufacturers are assigned to the “bakery and confectionery” industry.
