We choose to focus on the UN Global Compact Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that we can impact the most, using our business strategy and purpose to guide our choice. Our main focus goals are Our People, Our Products & their Safety and Our Partnerships. This led to SDG 3, 8, 12 and 17.

                                                          

SDG 3 Good health and well-being

We start by taking care of our people and the people around us. 

Sisterna team

The health and well-being of our employees is very important to us. All employees work (by choice) part-time, this adds to a healthy work and life balance and so, we believe to a happy life. We invest in our employees by providing a yearly (personal) development budget and off course we provide Ergonomic office furniture at the Sisterna office. 

Sucrose esters raw materials

We invest in providing sucrose esters that are produced with raw materials that are sourced from suppliers that align with principles supporting human rights and fair trade. (Code of conduct for suppliers)

Sucrose esters consumers

To promote a healthy life we invest in research about the effects of sucrose esters in sugar reduced or low fat products.

Nowadays we know more and more about the effect of food on our body. Many people are finding out that they are intolerant to gluten. We offer research, guide recipes, technical notes and presentations about sucrose esters in gluten free products.
The effect of our diet on the environment is also a factor for many people to switch (partly) to vegetarian or vegan products. We want to support this initiative and offer information and promote vegan and vegetarian products with sucrose esters.

SDG 8 Decent work and economic growth

As we promote and sell sucrose esters we need to work on making our products more sustainable every time. We work together with parties that can advise and guide us, but also who can rate us. This way we want to make a positive impact on our planet and the people.

SDG 12 Responsible consumption and production

Sucrose esters are a unique range of high quality, PEG-free, non-ionic emulsifiers, with an exceptional performance. Furthermore, we comply with world wide regulations and have several certifications concerning the responsible production of our sucrose esters.

SDG 17 Partnerships for the goals

We believe that partnerships are essential to reaching goals, this is why we work together with our supplier and different cooperation parties and certification providers.

Sustainability is a journey, not a destination, as we promote and sell sucrose esters
 we need to work on making our products more sustainable every time.
