Sustainable Strongholds

We base our CSR activities on an open and honest discussion with our major stakeholders and build our progress on the areas in which we traditionally hold a strong position. Environmental performance, consumer interests and employee relations are good examples of such strongholds which have been high on our agenda for years.

Since 2003/04, Chr. Hansen has reported non-financial data with primary focus on environment, health and safety. A four-year strategy for our CSR commitment has been developed describing the vision and the key objectives relating to environmental impact, product safety, employee relations and social interaction.

From this solid platform we intend to broaden the scope of our CSR commitment to include the entire life cycle of our products and services. In September 2009, we also joined the UN Global Compact.
