ESG: Governance The sustainable growth of our relationships is a cornerstone of our mission. Our longstanding partnerships with customers provide us with deep insights into specific requirements and retail standards. We play a vital role in translating customers’ wishes and legal requirements into actionable guidance for our growers and suppliers. In line with the CSRD G1 guideline for governance, we have established a policy for responsible conduct across the value chain, including a clearly articulated approach to payment behaviour (G1-6). In 2024, we enhanced transparency by aligning our payment practices with the relevant CSRD data points. Beyond standard payment terms, we offer suppliers the option of early payment to support their liquidity. Regular partners can also benefit from Supply Chain Finance (SCF), where invoices are paid within two working days, subject to a modest early payment discount.
