01 — 02 Sourcing
Strong sourcing links from Africa and Asia.
Reliable supply is essential for continuous production and sustainable trade. Our raw material network is built on sources in Africa and Asia.
Why it matters
Trust in supply means continuity in production.
Following sources across regions, developing international relationships and aligning supply with production needs sit at the centre of how we work.
