We expect a lot from our favorite food brands: exceptional taste, balanced nutrition, convenience, and an increasing commitment to reducing environmental impact. But what does that mean for your sauce product? Standing out in sauce innovation requires a holistic approach that integrates both product and packaging. Bold flavors and enhanced nutritional profiles can set your product apart, but minimizing packaging’s environmental impact is equally important, and challenging.

Solina aims to be a sustainability advocate, starting with leading by example. We translate our ambitions into clear objectives, which then drive actionable initiatives, and share the progress made through these initiatives in reports and other channels. “Transparent ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) reporting will soon be as important as financial reporting. It has to be about measurable KPIs, facts and data. It´s time for actionable goals and real progress – an evolution we fully embrace” says our CFO Marieke van Troys. The coming Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive is an opportunity to better structure our performance measurement, and to accelerate our sustainability journey with compliant CSRD reporting in 2026. One of the highlights for us at Solina was receiving a bronze medal in the 2023 EcoVadis Sustainability Rating, placing us among the top 16% of companies in the food manufacturing industry. This recognition inspires us to aim even higher in 2024 and beyond! #wemakefoodmatter #transparentreporting See our full Sustainability Report: https://lnkd.in/enwRc2mR
