Measuring Impact on the ground

In order to address and mitigate risks in more challenging areas of the world, we use a range of industry-leading third-party tools, shown below.

We look at seven material areas for commodities in all the countries that we operate: livelihoods, land, water, climate change, labour, food security and food safety.

"A traffic-light system is used to summarize the likelihood of risk in any country and we constantly monitor reports to stay up to date with the challenges on-the-ground and ensure continued appropriate standards."

NOTE:

"The independent data provided by these tools relates to country-level risks that affect any company sourcing from a region. It does not mean that these challenges exist anywhere in Olam’s supply chain."

SCREENING PROCESS

Olam analyzes the results of these third-party tools to inform our engagement with relevant NGOs, government bodies, and other key stakeholders. It also assists discussions with our suppliers to improve transparency and provide advice on how to pro-actively avoid and mitigate against challenges.
