Sustainability - Bake tomorrow better!
At Sonneveld, we wish to contribute to resolving the global health and environmental challenges. Much like the sustainability goals and ambitions of our parent company Orkla. We do this by developing healthier food products, reducing food waste, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, launching products that contribute to circular loops and promote to use any materials and products responsibly throughout the value chain.
Quality & safety standards
Quality and safety are very important to us. Our products are produced with the utmost care. This means, for example, that the production process, from dosing to mixing, takes place in a closed system. Pollution from the outside is therefore not possible. In addition, several extensive and strict quality inspections take place during the production process. Please check our quality & care document for more information.
Certifications
To monitor and guarantee food safety, we work according to the BRC GS and OFSS (Orkla Food Safety Standard, Company Standard) standards (unannounced for the Papendrecht location). In addition, we are certified to produce organically (EKO), Halal and Kosher. Our own standards are often even stricter than the legal requirements. We are also affiliated with Riskplaza and Riskplaza-Audit+.
