At Loacker, we believe that every ingredient matters. That’s why we’ve launched a project to create a sustainable supply chain for this essential raw material.
We’re working side by side with some of our long-standing wheat flour suppliers in Europe. Together, we’ve developed an agronomic protocol that guides our practices. These suppliers collaborate directly with selected farmers to ensure the protocol is followed—because good choices start in the field, with people who share our values.
At Loacker, we make the choice to challenge old practices by focusing on tangible actions in the field. We commit at least 6% of our arable land to biodiversity, creating habitats for wildlife. We maintain soil fertility by using a five-year crop rotation system and maintaining vegetation cover for at least 60 days after harvest. This is how we cultivate quality and reduce our environmental impact.
Traceability and transparency are fundamental. Through long-term contracts with our suppliers, we avoid GMOs and reduce chemicals such as glyphosate. We choose to promote natural agriculture practices for pest control and integrated crop protection methods, minimizing the need for herbicides.
We apply our guiding principles across the entire production chain, prioritizing the reduction of emissions and the use of renewable energy from the mill to the final stage.
We reached our 2024 goal of covering 10% of our flour needs through this program.
Our wheat strategy is ambitious: we aim to achieve 25% sustainable sourcing by 2025 and reach 100% sourcing by 2030 by increasing farming contracts and using our in-house production.
We look after nature to create true goodness.
