Sustainability
“ A society grows great when old men plant trees, whose shade they know they shall never sit in ”
– an ancient Greek proverb
We place great emphasis on sustainable business practices that ensure resilience and longevity. Our sustainability efforts focus on three key pillars: People, Environment, and Business
People:
People are at the core of every business operation, and our work relies on a diverse network of individuals — from the farmers who grow the crops and the intermediaries and traders who supply us, to the service providers who handle shipments, the brokers who sell our products, and our dedicated staff who ensure smooth operations. We prioritize creating a positive working environment, offering fair wages, providing equal opportunities, and fostering personal and professional growth. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for child labor and are committed to genuinely understanding and supporting the people behind our business.
We take great pride in the enduring relationships we have built, with the majority of our staff remaining with us for decades and many of our suppliers and buyers partnering with us for over 25 years.
Environment:
We strive to reduce our carbon footprint by adopting environmentally friendly practices and sustainable trades. One of our core principles is sourcing products responsibly, ensuring they are not linked to deforestation or unsustainable farming methods.
Additionally, growing pulses contributes to soil health by fixing nitrogen and replenishing essential nutrients. When preparing our crops for export, we prioritize sustainability by harnessing solar power to dry the produce. We are equally committed to minimizing waste and practicing responsible waste disposal, reinforcing our dedication to environmental stewardship.
Business:
The long-term success of our company relies on securing consistent business opportunities and executing them efficiently. To achieve this, we prioritize robust risk mitigation strategies, including stringent quality controls, reliable counterparties, and effective hedging practices. Equally important are our unwavering commitment to corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and ethical business conduct.
We take pride in honoring our commitments to both suppliers and buyers, fostering trust and reliability. Our philosophy is rooted in ensuring that every stakeholder in the supply chain benefits, creating a business ecosystem that consistently generates opportunities and maximizes overall value.
