Environmental Policy

Red River – Van Eck B.V. recognizes that all the activities in the food industry have some impact on the environment. We believe that our performance of the products will be measured not only by our profitability, but also by our impact on the environment.

In support of our principles, we will:
– Integrate environmental considerations into all our business decisions and activities.
– Implement systems and procedures to ensure continuous improvement of our environmental performance.
– Comply with and where feasible exceed the minimum requirements of all applicable environmental legislation.
– Encourage the adoption of similar principles from our suppliers.
