Sustainability

This is our eleventh report and the task gets no easier. On the one hand, I want to refer to the many positive facets of Strauss Group and talk about how we behave responsibly, ethically and in ways that create a movement of improvement that improves people’s lives. On the other hand, I’d also like to say that we are on a journey, and we have much more to do.

For the past several years, we have consistently engaged with a range of key stakeholders, seeking to understand their expectations, concerns and perspectives about issues that affect them in relation to health and nutrition, food, food companies, the cost of living and other socio-economic conditions, and of course about our own conduct as Strauss Israel and how we meet their needs

Our approach to sustainability is guided by internal drivers as well as globally defined expectations of business in society, that are a reflection of social needs around the world

Strauss Israel has adopted a new Balanced Nutrition Strategy that requires every product development decision for all the products in our portfolio to be guided by nutritional principles.

Innovation is the way we keep our promise to our consumers to keep pushing the envelope to deliver foods and beverages that improve their lives.

As a responsible manufacturer of food and beverages with a global footprint, we act with respect for our natural environment and strive to minimize our impacts on climate change and global resource consumption.

Building trust in communities includes showing that we care about local people and their social and economic development in more ways than meeting food and nutritional needs through our products.

At Strauss Group, we believe that inclusive business practices empower our employees, foster innovation, build trustful relationships throughout our supply chain and improve our responsiveness to our customers and consumers, enabling us to achieve better business results over the long term in the right way.

Our consumers want to know we behave ethically and responsibly while making the products they love in their daily diets. At the same time, we recognize the significant impact agriculture has on our environment in terms of land use, climate change and water scarcity as well as on local economies. Working with local growers, for example, both reduces the environmental impacts of transportation and helps maintain a vibrant local economy.
