We respect the environment and the community in which we operate, and because we believe in leading by example, we want suppliers whose values are aligned with ours, which is why we prioritize working with partners with a positive social and environmental impact.
Harv 81’s Responsible Procurement Policy is an expression of the company’s commitment to sustainability and a reflection of our values. We seek to improve our social and environmental impact, while being accountable for all the production process, from the forest to the bottle. Hence, we are committed to working on the future of the cork industry, by promoting collaboration in the cork sector, with producers, suppliers, and clients to strengthen efforts and synergies around the common challenges we face. Accordingly, Harvesting for the Future is the motto of our Sustainability Agenda. A crucial aspect of this Agenda is the contribution of suppliers to the social and environmental impact of our products. For this reason, the integration of sustainability practices in the supply chain is a central concern. In this context, screening suppliers aims at ensuring the alignment of our values with their practices, and consequently, to improve the positive impacts of our products, while minimizing its negative impacts.
