Sustainability

Private Label products sourcing

Private Label suppliers are subjected to the EMD SOURCING CODE OF CONDUCT which defines food and sustainability criteria for cooperation with EMD. The content of these purchasing guidelines is based on the Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative of the Consumer Goods Forum. Private Label suppliers who do not yet comply with the new EMD purchasing guidelines are accompanied by the international retail alliance and given support in achieving this goal.

The EMD SOURCING CODE OF CONDUCT underpins the aim of EMD and our member companies to provide sustainable produced products of outstanding quality to our consumers. Accordingly, strict compliance with our social and environmental standards and a commitment to recognized food safety standards are an indispensable part of our purchasing guidelines.

Cooperation with A-Brand industry on sustainability initiatives

Suppliers of Branded products can cooperate internationally with EMD on their sustainability initiatives. EMD welcomes any proposal that is in line with the guidelines and possibilities of the individual EMD members.
