We believe that a healthy and safe working environment is key to our success. Good health starts with good food. We therefore provide healthy in-house cooked meals in most offices where we serve vegetables and fruits from the farmers we work with where possible. We create specious and light working areas with plenty of workspace. We minimize the use of cleaning detergents. We are against smoking and demotivate smoking by not providing any space than outside the offices for smoking. All our offices and facilities follow a smoke free policy. Our biggest safety risk is the traffic in which our employees take part daily. For long distances and during office hours we encourage employees to use a car rental company or to go by taxi. We provide a good private health insurance next to the required insurances of the government.
We support community development through volunteer efforts,
charitable contributions, and partnerships with local organizations. We encourage our

We promote a diverse and inclusive workplace where all employees are valued and respected. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and empowered to contribute their best work. We will implement programs and policies to ensure equal opportunities for all employees, regardless of their background or identity.
We want to assist our clients to get their agriculture products out of the commodity trap in order to establish a foundation for future growth.
However, we only will do business with clients who not only strive to solve their problems or increase their profits but who at the same time are committed to be more sustainable and who want to grow better lives in the end.
We will only do business with those who deliver quality materials and services, who safeguard the rights and welfare of its workers.
In addition, we will encourage our suppliers/contractors to initiate and implement programs on security, health, safety, environment, and social responsibility. This will be implemented by all our managers who purchase goods or services and will be regularly reviewed by persons independent of these managers.
