Introduction

J-Roc Blue Coffee is committed to conducting our business to minimize negative environmental, social, and economic impacts while maximizing positive outcomes for our shareholders. As part of our dedication to transparent sustainability practices, we recognize the importance that they are seen an integral part of corporate and social responsibility. This policy outlines our approach to sustainable procurement and sets out our expectations for suppliers, employees, and anyone with whom we conduct business.

Our Approach

The nature of our business is such that there is a potential where the products we distribute can be cultivated using certain materials that potentially have a negative impact on the
Compared to other industries, such as manufacturing, the risks associated with our supply chain’s environmental, social, and governance impact are relatively low. Nonetheless, we are committed to effectively managing such issues within our supply chain and ensuring that all materials are handled in accordance with their specific types and applicable regulations.
We aim to work with suppliers who share our values and uphold high standards of business conduct. We continually improve processes and guidelines for managing sustainability issues in the supply chain.

Environment

We prioritize the procurement of goods and services that minimize environmental impact throughout their lifecycle, including sustainably sourcing materials, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing waste generation.

Suppliers are encouraged to:

• Demonstrate environmental initiatives within their operations that contribute positively to the environment.

• Vigorously promote and prioritize local and seasonal sourcing, support local suppliers, and endorse social enterprises to minimize their carbon footprint.

• Manage water consumption and align with water reduction objectives of the locations they operate within.

• Efficiently handle waste, including food waste, collaborating with local charities or waste management companies to divert waste to digesters or other energy-transforming systems.

• Minimize the use of plastic and collaborate with their suppliers to reduce plastic waste by adopting alternative biodegradable or compostable materials.

• Develop procedures aimed at expediting the elimination of waste to landfill.

Hazardous Material

J-Roc Blue Coffee encourages suppliers to minimize packaging and transportation. When necessary, all packaging, transportation, and handling of hazardous materials must comply with local regulations. We prioritize the procurement of safe, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly materials and products, seeking safer alternatives wherever feasible.

Governance

Suppliers are expected to apply and uphold best governance principles, screen and monitor their supply chains for environmental and social practices, and ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards related to sustainable procurement, environmental protection, and social responsibility.

Supplier Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion & Local Economy
