Leading with responsible value chain practices

Behind every one of our products is a complex global network of value chain partners – from suppliers to local communities.

We’re committed to driving best practice responsible sourcing standards, building supplier capacity and giving back to the communities we call home.

We use our expertise and resources to drive change in the global supply chains where we have influence and the communities where we have a presence.

_{Responsible sourcing}

Sustainable products start with responsible sourcing practices. As a company with a complex and diverse supply network, we aim to work with suppliers who share our commitment to upholding human rights and providing safe working conditions.

_Partnerships

The greatest progress happens when we work together. That’s why we engage in multi-stakeholder initiatives and supplier collaborations, creating social and environmental impact on the ground – and contributing to industry-wide progress.

_{Supplier support}

Long-standing partnerships are key to building supply chain capacity, knowledge and profitability. To ensure our suppliers grow alongside us, we conduct due diligence that protects labour rights and pursue supply chain improvements that drive quality and sustainability standards globally.

_{Local communities}

Our communities are more than just places – they’re our neighbours, employees, partners and families. We want to be an active community member, engaging with community stakeholders on locally relevant initiatives.

Engagement

Estrella - championing equality in sport

In Sweden, Estrella is fostering inclusive and joyful moments – beyond just the snacks it makes. In line with the Estrella motto ‘An open society for all and joyful moments together’, the company is promoting social engagement and inclusive environments built on acceptance, mutual respect and dedication.

As part of this, in 2023, Estrella teamed up with the Gothia Cup, the world’s largest international youth football tournament, to drive action for the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5, which drives for gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.

As part of the Cup’s ‘Play Equally’ initiative, Estrella sponsored a girls’ football team, giving it the chance to participate for the first time in the Gothia Cup through its Foundation program.
