As such, we approach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kraeuter-mix.de\/en\/company\/sustainability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sustainability<\/a> holistically \u2013 within the company and along our supply chain as a whole. The goal is to identify risks early on and, together with our suppliers \u2013 most of them long-standing \u2013 uphold high quality and safety standards in the supply of our natural products.<\/p>\n<p>Good <strong>cooperation and communication with our suppliers<\/strong> are essential here. Our raw material procurement and sustainability management teams also review relevant aspects, including product quality, safety and hygiene standards, as well as environmental and social requirements. Supplier questionnaires, site visits and internal audits or external inspections on site at our suppliers\u2019 facilities all play a role here, as needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Qualification and targeted training<\/strong> is the cornerstone of our supplier development. Among other things, this includes requirements relating to Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP), product quality and safety, and sustainability. We also provide training materials to support our suppliers in implementing the relevant standards.<\/p>\n<p>In order to manage potential human rights and environmental risks, Kr\u00e4uter Mix has established a systematic <strong>risk management<\/strong> system along the supply chain. The system is based on the requirements set out in the German Supply Chain Act (LkSG) and combines a country-specific risk analysis with a risk-based supplier assessment.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to sourcing our raw materials, we place great value on <strong>responsible agricultural practices and conservation-compliant wild harvesting<\/strong> that promote respectful stewardship of the natural environment. In doing so, we prioritize clearly defined processes, training and audits to address potential environmental and social risks and ensure compliance with the agreed standards.<\/p>\n<p>We continuously work to strengthen and further develop our supply structures with a focus on conservation and environmental protection as well as dignified living and working conditions. We do this by ensuring open communication with our suppliers and partnering with our customers, industry and interest groups, as well as external expert agencies.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What is the German Supply Chain Act (LkSG) all about?&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]The German Supply Chain Act is enshrined in German federal law and requires companies to identify, assess and minimize both human-rights and specific environmental risks in their supply chains.
