Kenya Bixa Limited, a participant of the United Nations Global Compact since 2013 and a leading producer of natural annatto products, has unveiled its inaugural sustainability report. This milestone highlights Kenya Bixa’s commitment to sustainability, positioning it among the leaders in responsible business practices in Kenya. The Kwale based agro-processing company is a major exporter to foreign markets and with increasing demands from global regulations such as the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (#CSRD) and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (#CSDDD), the report provides detailed insights into the company’s governance, environmental practices, and social impact, including its contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs) Speaking at the launch, Global Compact Network Kenya Executive Director Judy Njino applauded Kenya Bixa for the bold step, noting that the report reflects the company’s clear vision, deep understanding of global challenges and commitment to being part of the solution to pressing societal issues. She further noted that in the face of multiple global crises such as climate change, biodiversity loss and human rights concerns, sustainability is transitioning from voluntary to mandatory. Companies that embrace this change will therefore lead the way in innovation, growth and resilience. On behalf of the Kenya Bixa Board, Hon John Safari Mumba emphasized that the sustainability report underscores the company’s unwavering commitment to transforming lives through sustainable and innovative products while embedding transparency and accountability into its operations. Kenya Bixa Limited’s Managing Director, Dr. David Kisa Cheruiyot, reiterated the company’s commitment to continuous improvement saying the company will focus on strengthening its sustainability commitments, setting ambitious targets, and driving impactful initiatives for a greener, inclusive, and prosperous future for all. #Sustainability #SDGs #SustainabilityReport #GCNK Laban Kiptoo
