Working on site with the Solina Sustainability ambitions Over two days, employees at Solina in Nieuw Vennep, The Netherlands, participated in workshops to discuss their role in the Solina Sustainability journey. 🌍 Climate Fresk This is a science-based concept and eye-opener, aimed at raising awareness about the chain of consequences that human behaviour has on climate change. At Solina we use it to engage everyone in our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint. “Until today, 845 colleagues across 16 locations have completed the workshop, and the plan is to continue”, says Sibylle Lamy, Group Sustainability Change Manager. 🧡 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion DE&I are integral to Solina’s sustainability as well as culture ambitions. The discussions during the workshop helped us recognize our own unconscious biases, which form at a young age, and the importance of respecting each other’s differences while fostering individual growth. Sanne Dieben, Site Manager in Nieuw Vennep and initiative taker to these days, emphasized how internal awareness is key to achieving a cultural change and driving future growth. “Every change starts with a first next step, and by gaining knowledge about sustainability and making it tangible through real experiences relevant to our own environment, we can more easily continuously improve and achieve our goals”, says Sanne Dieben.

Solina as a food solutions partner is in a pivotal position in the farm-to-fork value chain. The best place to start accelerating our sustainable efforts is right at the beginning, at farm level. That is why we work in close and long-term relationships with our suppliers. Solina´s sustainability sourcing strategy includes all steps from restoring ecological balances to fair pay and labor by promoting sustainable farming practices such as: preserving water resources, fostering biodiversity, redressing social inequalities and creating safe working places, and more.

At Solina, we’re taking responsibility for the impact we have (and can have) on our entire value chain.

With an innovative cooling solution, Puljonki greatly contributes to this energy saving progress. #wemakefoodmatter

It was a success – the very first Solina Sensorial Show! We are incredibly proud and still overwhelmed by the excitement from our first Sensorial Show, held in Paris earlier this June. The event showcased our culinary innovation capabilities to customers in the quick-service restaurant (QSR) and foodservice industry, who experienced new tastes, surprising textures, and captivating scents, all with a focus on improved nutrition, plant-based options, and responsible, flexible packaging. Over nine days, we hosted more than 50 guests representing 17 customers. Each invited customer enjoyed a personalized experience aimed at creating and designing the food of tomorrow, together. Driven by our chefs from diverse backgrounds and cultures, we witnessed true culinary creativity, all derived from our sauce, seasoning, coating, protein, onion, and other food solutions. We are eager to work with QSR chains and partners alike to make food matter, for people and the planet. A second edition is coming this October.
