Responsible Sourcing
Our sustainability objective – across the entire value chain
At NovaTaste we focus on our efforts across our global value chain and at our sites around the world - where we have the greatest impact on the environment and society. These projects extend to the spices and ingredients we source from farmers, the materials from suppliers, transport to operations and blending and packaging of our products and solutions for our customers.

Sustainability starts with us and our partners
We are proud to be partners and members of national and international organizations that represent the sustainability-led interests of the industry. Furthermore, we support local initiatives to ensure the quality and sustainability of our ingredients and products.
Examples of responsible and sustainable sourcing at NovaTaste:
Organic flowers from a family business in South Tyrol.
The flowers are locally grown and hand-picked with great care. The organic farm is now in its third generation of growing herbs and flowers to the highest standards.
Cardamom from the Himalaya
Through our long-standing partnership with EcoHimal we purchase cardamom at fair prices, train farmers and invest in local structures. This benefits the local farmers and we receive exquisite spices of the highest quality.
Olive oil from the mountains of Sicily
The careful use of Sicily's mountainous landscape and the meticulous harvesting and production naturally produce a fantastic organic olive oil of the highest quality. We select our suppliers in Sicily according to the strictest criteria and only buy the best harvests.
