CSR | Nedstar

Our CSR efforts

Nedstar strives to contribute to a cleaner, better world. We recognise that as a company working with international stakeholders and resources, we have the corporate social responsibility to make positive impacts environmentally, socially, and economically. We do this not only by implementing sustainable and fair practices in our day-to-day work, but also by supporting various initiatives which are relevant to our relationships with suppliers, customers, and the planet. Together, we want to inspire progress and shape Nedstar’s sustainable legacy.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

We embrace the UN Sustainable Development Goals as a guiding framework for our CSR endeavours. While we are in support of all 17 SDGs, we place particular emphasis on those closely aligned with our mission and industry. Those are SDG 8, 12, 13, and 15.

By aligning our efforts with these key SDGs, we strive to make a positive and lasting impact on both local and global scale.

Ethanol - a sustainable resource

Ethanol is created solely from renewable resources, preserving our planet's finite resources. Its potential exceeds even further as it can be derived from residues of ethanol production (so called second-generation ethanol). Furthermore, the waste generated during this process finds new life as it is repurposed into valuable commodities like animal feed and fertilizer, making it a truly remarkable product with countless life cycles.

Fair business practices in emerging markets

Dealing with raw materials such as sugar cane, corn, grain, or grapes means close collaboration with suppliers in emerging markets in South America, Africa, and the Middle East. This is especially important to us since we strive to empower local production in those economic areas, for example by forging fair-trade agreements with local producers, enhancing their opportunities and creating positive change. We only select suppliers that share our values and convictions, meaning that we only cooperate with producers that promote ethical operations.

Satisfied employees for a growing business

Nedstar’s excellent customer service, frictionless logistics, and market expertise would all not be possible without our employees who go above and beyond for our customers and other stakeholders. Our employees’ wellbeing is paramount for our company. We actively encourage our NedSTARs’ growth mindset by offering tailored learning opportunities, as well as team activities that make us work better together as a team and continue act with honesty, integrity, and trust.
