Working in partnership with our suppliers
Working in partnership with our suppliers is a vital approach for Wilmar. This allows us to fortify our supply chain relationships to source sugar responsibly, mitigate risk and promote responsible and sustainable practices. We embrace the idea that profit should go hand in hand with ethical business practices.
Being one of the largest sugar traders in the world, Wilmar is committed to extend our approach to sustainability across our supply chain. Aligned with our core beliefs as indicated in the original NDPE policy and updated to reflect the key material issues within sugar supply chain, Wilmar launched our No Deforestation, No People Exploitation (NDPE) Sugar policy in September 2021. Key to this policy is the scope which extends beyond our operations to include joint ventures and third-party suppliers in the sugar supply chain.
Core to our NDPE Sugar policy is a commitment to create a transparent sourcing network through traceability mapping, which in turn enables us to better understand our supply chains and gain fuller visibility to origin. Ultimately, this also provides a solid foundation to implement our policy upon.
