Teleconference

Kraft Foods sources from environmentally friendly cocoa farms in Ecuador, which helps to reverse deforestation in that country’s Amazon forest. Kraft pays a premium price for the Rainforest Alliance-certified cocoa, the farmers make some money, and everyone wins. This session will look at best practices in sourcing sustainably, in particular across global supply chains. We will look at the energy/emissions/water profiles in sourced materials/components; the use of recycled/reused materials and components; and the ecosystem impacts of mined, farmed, fished, or extracted inputs. On the social side, we will look at sourcing from suppliers with adequate EH&S and minimum wage standards.
