Initiatives include:

• giving customers granular insight into the social and environmental impact of their ingredients and materials, with the launch of AtSource, unique in the B2B marketplace
• strengthening future supply chain volumes by embracing 445,900 smallholders in sustainability programmes (23% growth from 2017)
• diversifying funding with Asia’s first sustainability club-linked loan facility of US$500 million
• developing non-financial reporting methodology to better understand the invisible impacts of our business on the Human, Social and Natural Capitals we depend upon - an approach called the Olam Integrated Impact Statement
• driving operational excellence across Olam, improving working capital productivity and cost efficiencies.
