Michton’s Commitment to Sustainable Sourcing Policy
At Michton, we recognize our responsibility towards the environment and the crucial role we play in promoting sustainable practices within our industry. We are steadfast in our commitment to sourcing only deforestation and conversion-free commodities. Our approach is guided by the following principles:
- Zero Deforestation Policy: We pledge to ensure that all our raw materials, particularly those linked to high-risk areas such as palm oil, soy, beef, and timber, are sourced from suppliers who adhere to stringent zero deforestation standards. This means that our products do not contribute to the destruction of forests or the conversion of natural habitats.
- Supplier Verification and Accountability: We work closely with our suppliers to ensure full transparency and traceability within our supply chain. Our procurement process involves rigorous assessments and certifications that verify our suppliers' compliance with deforestation and conversion-free practices.
- Sustainable Certification: We prioritize partnerships with suppliers who hold recognized sustainability certifications such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and others. These certifications are critical in ensuring that the commodities we source meet the highest environmental and social standards.
- Continuous Improvement and Collaboration: Sustainability is a journey, not a destination. We are committed to ongoing improvement of our sourcing practices. We actively engage with industry groups, NGOs, and other stakeholders to stay informed about the latest developments and best practices in sustainable sourcing. This collaborative approach helps us to continuously refine and enhance our sustainability initiatives.
- Transparency and Reporting: We believe in being transparent about our sustainability efforts and progress. Michton regularly publishes reports detailing our sourcing practices, achievements, and areas for improvement. We welcome feedback from our stakeholders to ensure we remain accountable and aligned with our sustainability goals.
- Education and Advocacy: We are dedicated to educating our employees, suppliers, and customers about the importance of deforestation and conversion-free commodities. By raising awareness, we aim to drive broader change within our industry and promote more sustainable consumer choices.
Michton is committed to leading by example in the fight against deforestation and habitat conversion. Our dedication to sustainable sourcing is not only a core value but also a fundamental aspect of our mission to contribute positively to the environment and society. We understand that the health of our planet is directly linked to the well-being of our business and the communities we serve.
Together, we can make a meaningful impact and ensure that our natural resources are preserved for future generations. Thank you for supporting Michton in our journey towards a more sustainable future.
