Feronia (the “Company”) is committed to meeting the needs of its customers, consumers, suppliers, employees and communities in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner and through the continuous improvement of the environmental and social performance in all its activities.
Feronia is aware that while we can achieve much within our own business, we believe that sustainable development is best pursued through partnership. We therefore work towards the improvement of knowledge, dissemination of best practice and a common programme of action where appropriate.
