Kraft Foods sources from environmentally friendly cocoa farms in
Ecuador, which helps to reverse deforestation in that country’s Amazon
forest. Kraft pays a premium price for the Rainforest
Alliance-certified cocoa, the farmers make some money, and everyone
wins. This session will look at best practices in sourcing sustainably,
in particular across global supply chains. We will look at the
energy/emissions/water profiles in sourced materials/components; the
use of recycled/reused materials and components; and the ecosystem
impacts of mined, farmed, fished, or extracted inputs. On the social
side, we will look at sourcing from suppliers with adequate EH&S
and minimum wage standards.
