Since 2024, Delka has committed to the Sustainable Entrepreneurship Certification \u2013 Cycle 1 SDG Pioneer, run by the CCI Li\u00e8ge-Verviers-Namur and recognised by UNITAR (the United Nations agency for sustainable development). This 3-year process is based on an annual plan of ambitious, proportionate and lasting actions, aligned with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), grouped into 5 broad categories known as the “5 Ps”: Planet, People, Prosperity, Peace, Partnership. For our food production, being sustainable is not just about a label: it is a structured re-examination of our practices, from governance to the sauce production workshop, including our purchasing and our teams.<\/p>\n
Why can Delka be considered a sustainable company?<\/p>\n
Our first year of certification resulted in 13 concrete actions, formally integrating the SDGs into our governance and our supplier purchasing policy. We manage our environmental impact (monitoring of energy\/water\/waste, carbon footprint, energy-efficient equipment, site biodiversity) while placing our teams’ well-being at the heart of our decisions (reducing physical strain, manager training, soft mobility). This sustainable approach is mainly based on the following SDGs.<\/p>\n
Which SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) do we mainly focus on?<\/p>\n
While all 17 SDGs inform our overall thinking, certain goals resonate more directly with our reality as a sauce manufacturer in Belgium and are the priority drivers of our action plan:<\/p>\n
SDG 5 \u2013 Gender Equality: through our commitment to guaranteeing equal access to positions of responsibility and fair remuneration policies, both internally and in our relationships with external partners.<\/p>\n
SDG 8 \u2013 Decent Work and Economic Growth: through the creation of a safe and inclusive working environment, ongoing training for our teams, and the promotion of economic growth in line with sustainability principles.<\/p>\n
SDG 12 \u2013 Responsible Consumption and Production: at the heart of our purchasing policy, our waste reduction efforts, our use of natural ingredients without unnecessary additives, and our transition to recyclable packaging.<\/p>\n
SDG 13 \u2013 Climate Action: through the reduction of our CO2 emissions thanks to our solar panels covering 70% of our energy needs, the optimisation of our energy efficiency, and eco-responsible transport practices.<\/p>\n
SDG 16 \u2013 Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions: through our transparent governance overseen by Floridienne and external auditors, our fight against corruption, and the promotion of ethical business practices at every level of the production chain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
