Sustainability
Sustainability -
For the only world we have
Sustainability in the environmental and social sense is an integral part of our business activities - firmly anchored in our strategy for years.
We act responsibly along the entire value chain. From seed to customer.
We create transparency and focus on long-term, strong partnerships and joint solutions.
For people and the environment - for the only world we have!
Procurement
The Reismühle Nutrex aims to consider not only economic but also social, ethical, and ecological aspects when sourcing products.
The business partners of Reismühle Nutrex must ensure adequate wages and humane working conditions for their employees and provide social-ethical certification.
The packaging complies with current food regulations. It should use as little material as possible, generate a low volume of waste, and ideally be biodegradable
Energy and
Environment
We handle all resources carefully and strive to continuously improve. At the Brunnen production site, we have been producing in a CO2-neutral manner for many years.
Careful handling of food is very important to us. The principle of "avoidance comes before recycling and disposal" applies:
- We give food that can no longer be sold but is still in perfect condition to "Tischlein deck dich" free of charge.
- By-products from the rice mill, such as milled flour or broken rice, are 100% recycled, for example for animal feed.
- Waste is consistently separated and recycled.
