ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND COMPLIANCE
CIRCULARITY AND WASTE MANAGEMENT Suppliers are strongly encouraged to conserve and use resources responsibly, including materials, fossil fuels, and other chemical substances, through the use of practices such as lean production management, use of alternative production processes and technologies, increasing the recycled content in products, exploring the use of alternate materials, etc. Waste handling and disposal should be carried out in a sustainable way, promoting and supporting the circular economy, on the basis of the 5 Rs Sustainability Framework to “refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose or recycle”. Disposal methods with an adverse environmental impact in the longer term (e.g., landfill) should be avoided wherever possible.
BIODIVERSITY AND FOREST PROTECTION Suppliers sourcing agricultural commodities must take appropriate steps to ensure that forests, biodiversity, and areas of high conservation value are protected throughout their entire supply chain. Deforestation or conversion of primary or secondary forests or natural ecosystems must be avoided.
