EMEA Environmental Policy

Mission Foods EMEA, dedicated to the manufacture of bakery products and tortillas, including the Kneading, baking and packaging of wheat and maize tortillas, the production of corn chips, as well as the manufacture of naan and pitas breads at the Seaham site, carries out its operations at facilities located in Borox,Fuenlabrada, Seaham, Coventry, Stupino and
Novosibirsk.

We are aware of the environmental impacts arising from our industrial activities, particularly in relation to energy and water consumption, waste generation, the use of packaging materials, and baking and frying processes.

We are committed to complying with applicable environmental legislation and to progressively implementing environmental criteria that enable the different areas of the organisation to work towards pollution prevention wherever possible, reduce our carbon footprint, and minimise or eliminate the environmental impacts of our activities throughout the entire value chain.

Present environmental policy is developed in accordance with the following principles:

• Implement energy-efficient technologies and practices to optimize energy consumption along the manufacturing process.

• Assess and invest in renewable energy sources to power our facilities and reduce reliance on non-renewable energy.

• Reduce food waste generation at various stages of the production process, minimizing excess of inventory, optimizing process efficiency, and improving packaging to avoid overuse as well product loss due to incidents during the transport.

• Improve the management of our hazardous and non-hazardous waste.

• Prioritize the following hierarchy in waste treatment: prevention, re-use, recycle, recovery and disposal.

• Monitor water consumption and implement measures to identify and address areas of inefficiency.

• Reduce the environmental impact of packaging throughout the supply chain, by working with suppliers to source sustainable raw and packaging materials.

• Inform and train employees at all levels, as well as contractors and co-packers, about the present policy and our significant environmental aspects and how to reduce them by raising their awareness on the environmental impact of our organization.

In addition, we recognize the importance of communicating our environmental expectations and encourage suppliers to adopt their own sustainable practices, as well as providing our stakeholders with clear information on our environmental initiatives and goals, progress, and challenges. Mission Foods EMEA is dedicated to achieving these environmental principles through continuous improvement, training, and collaboration across all levels of the organization. For this purpose, the company is setting annual environmental goals and objectives at the highest level and providing the necessary resources.

This policy is to be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect improvements on sustainable practices and technologies, ensuring our commitment to environmental responsibility remains at the forefront of our business practices.
