    At Puratos, we move the planet forward by creating innovative food solutions for the health and well-being of people everywhere. On this World Heart Day we want to reaffirm our commitment by sharing how we are creating solutions to prevent cardiovascular diseases while still bringing delicious flavors, joy, and satisfaction to both our customers and our employees. 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 & 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹–𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘛𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺. We combine various solutions that constantly improve and expand our product range to make it better and healthier, empowering more balanced diets through nutritional optimization. Some important actions we are taking to prevent the prevalence of chronic diseases are: • Increasing the presence of power ingredients like fruit, fiber, and whole grains that support a healthy heart and overall well-being. • Craft delicious creations with lower sugar, reduced fat (saturated and trans), and controlled levels of salt (sodium) as the excessive intake of these three can be associated with higher risk of developing non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease.

One of our commitments is towards the Physical and Mental Health of our workforce, empowering them to sustain the energy required to achieve their full potential and deliver exceptional results. We provide various tools and resources that help manage and prevent cardiovascular diseases like: • Continuous communications and trainings to create awareness and empower a self-care culture. • Promotion of sport events and other physical activity opportunities in and outside of our facilities. • Canteens that promote healthy eating. • Stress management tools and resources. • EAP programs. • Health screenings. • And many other local activities happening in our facilities around the world. We invite everyone to join us on this journey towards better health and well-being for all. Let’s take this opportunity to reflect on how we can contribute to a world with more heart health, starting with ourselves and extending to others around us. #WorldHeartDay #PuratosMagic #CallingForCaring #HealthAndWellbeing #HeartHealth

    With sustainability at the core, Puratos Grand-Place proudly became a sponsor of Cocoa Association of Asia. Gricha Safarian, Managing Director of Puratos Grand-Place Indochina, emphasized the true essence of sustainability in his opening remarks. "Sustainability," Gricha said, "is about growing your business without harming the environment or communities around you. True sustainability means paying for what we use.” For the first time, 16 farmers from eight countries - Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire, Uganda, Bolivia, and Vietnam - came together in the Farmer Network at the Cocoa Association of Asia (CAA). This initiative was created to give a voice to the people who are often at the heart of the cocoa industry but rarely heard. The farmers discussed six key topics, guided by Selene Scotton: Sustainable Farming Practices, Innovative Technologies and Methods, Climate Change Adaptation, Market Access and Trade, Community Development and Farmer Cooperation, and Regulatory & Compliance. Representing Vietnam were: Ms. Nguyen Hong Thuong, Director of Nhat Tam Cooperative from Dak Lak Province, and Mr. Dong Tien Hung, Director of A1 Cocoa Company from Binh Phuoc Province. Alongside the Puratos Grand-Place team, they actively contributed to the discussions, highlighting Vietnam’s practices in cocoa farming. As we look ahead, we anticipate positive changes within the cocoa industry. By continuing to collaborate, share knowledge, and embrace innovation, we can ensure that cocoa remains a thriving, sustainable industry. #Puratos #PGPI #CAA #FarmerForum #Fruit #Farmer #Forest
