People and the Environment

 
We look ahead

Delicia’s vision on sustainability is reflected, for instance, in the long term partnerships with clients and suppliers. Our prime commitment is to conduct business with integrity. We are responsible for our production chain, we want to know the origin of our ingredients and believe that transparency is key for a responsible work structure. Our employees play a very important role in all of this; they are the fundament of our organization. Together we create a safe and healthy working environment.

“We look at it this way: only by working honestly you can assure the continuity of your business. We therefore decide consciously to use fair products and we carefully weigh the potential impact our decisions may have on people and environment.”

We think about the next generation

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is very important to us. Several independent organizations and foundations have acknowledged our efforts and have rewarded us with a certification.

“Delicia stands for long lasting partnerships. We don’t believe in short-termism and choose to invest in our relations. Together we can do it!”
