Our commitment to a better world

Aspirational objective 1: Healthy, balanced, and sustainable diets for all European consumers, thereby contributing to: 

1) Reversing malnutrition and diet-related noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the EU.

2) Reducing the environmental footprint of food consumption by 2030.

With the following aspirational targets:

a) Improved food consumption patterns in the EU. 

b) A food environment that makes it easier to choose healthy and sustainable diets.

Faller commitments:

  • In addition to preserves, marmalades, fruit spreads, and jellies, we offer a variety of honey and muesli.

  • Our range is rounded off by fruit spreads with a sugar reduction of 30% compared to a preserve with 56g /100g total sugar content.

 

Aspirational objective 3: A climate-neutral food chain in Europe by 2050

With the following aspirational target: 

Reducing net emissions from own operations, contributing to a 55% GHG emission reduction target in the EU food chain by 2030 (following a science-based approach).

Faller commitments:

  • We need steam for our production. To generate steam, we burn heating oil, which leaves a large CO2 footprint. We will examine the technical possibilities for developing our production to minimise our CO2 footprint.

 

Aspirational objective 4: An optimised circular and resource-efficient food chain in Europe

With the following aspirational targets:

a) Improved resource efficiency within own operations, contributing to sustainable, efficient use and management of energy and natural resources in operations by 2030.

b) Improved sustainability of food and drink packaging, striving for all packaging towards circularity by 2030.

Faller commitments:

  • We offer our products in classic recycling jars, as well as in tin plate and aluminum portions.

 

Aspirational objective 7: Sustainable sourcing in food supply chains

With the following aspirational targets:

a) Transformed commodity supply chains that do not contribute to deforestation, forest degradation, and destruction of natural habitat and which preserve and protect high-value ecosystems and biodiversity.

b) Improved social performance in (global) food supply chains.

Faller commitments:

  • We only use selected fruits, depending on the availability of the harvest, from our region in southern Germany, and other natural raw materials.

  • Since 1997, we have been purchasing only green electricity from the Elektrizitätswerke SchönauGmbH.
