Sustainability

We work hand in hand with nature – and this is why sustainable actions are firmly rooted in our company DNA. Strict supplier checks and approvals and also reducing our carbon footprint are just some of our measures we employ. We also support forest protection and reforestation projects as well as organisations such as Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance and the Forum for Sustainable Palm Oil.

This is what sustainability at Zentis is all about:

1. Conservation of production resources and climate action,

2. Responsible raw materials purchasing,

3. Customer-focused business,

4. Natural products,

5. Zentis employees

Responsibility

across the board

We act responsibly towards staff, suppliers and market partners. Our suppliers are long-standing partners who have a sustainable approach when it comes to environmental and social aspects. Zentis is a full member of the RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) and has been a certified user of sustainably produced palm oil along the entire supply chain since the summer of 2014.

Space for new ideas.

We strive daily to improve the way we do business in all areas. This is why we create new processes and ways of working at Zentis that boost creativity and innovation. This proactive approach will prepare us optimally for the future.

More space for innovations: with the FruitCampus, we have developed a complete innovation eco system within a space of 2100 sq. m. that is specially designed to foster creative collaboration between staff and facilitate extensive discussions with customers and business partners.
