At Loacker, we believe every ingredient matters. That’s why we launched a vertical program to create a responsible, traceable, and high-quality wheat flour supply chain.
We work side by side with long-standing European wheat suppliers and selected farmers. Together, we follow a strict agronomic protocol. To support this transition, we reward participating farmers with an incentive bonus per tonne of wheat grown according to our standards.
At Loacker, we make the choice to challenge old practices by focusing on tangible actions in the field. Under our agronomic protocol, participating farmers allocate at least 5% of arable land along field edges to biodiversity, creating vital wildlife habitats and aligning with the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030.
We maintain soil fertility and combat erosion using a five-year crop rotation system and maintaining vegetation cover for at least 60 days after harvest. Full traceability, non-GMO guarantees, and the reduction of chemicals like glyphosate—through integrated crop protection and natural pest control—ensure our flour is pure and responsibly cultivated.
We apply our guiding principles across the entire production chain. From milling to final baking, we prioritize renewable energy and emission reductions—supported by innovative technologies like our OptiBake electric oven to replace fossil gas reliance.
Our wheat strategy is moving forward fast. Having successfully met our 2025 target of 25% sustainable wheat sourcing, we are raising our goal to cover 30% of our total wheat volume through farmers who adopt our agronomic protocol. By expanding long-term farming contracts and utilizing in-house production, we remain firmly on track to achieve 100% responsible sourcing by 2030.
We look after nature to create true goodness.
