ETHICAL SOURCING
Nobody wants to eat runny mayonnaise, brittle ice cream or separated soup.
Tate & Lyle is a global provider of food and beverage ingredients and solutions that can help to solve these challenges and create healthier food choices. The company transforms raw materials like corn and stevia into ingredients that add taste, texture and nutrients to all sorts of food and beverage products.
Such a wide range of ingredients, and their worldwide use, creates complex supply chains for the company. Scope 3 is by far the largest area of its emissions, but is also where Tate & Lyle has enormous potential to do sustainable good.
Anna Pierce is Tate & Lyle’ s Director of Sustainability, responsible for developing and running sustainability programmes that match the company’ s ambitions and help its customers to achieve their ESG goals.
Anna speaks to Sustainability Magazine about how the company is embedding sustainability throughout its supply chains.

WHAT DOES SUSTAINABILITY MEAN TO TATE & LYLE? Tate & Lyle is a purpose-driven organisation and we have three pillars of purpose:
• The first is providing healthier ingredients and options for our consumers
• The second is building thriving communities where we live and work, and certainly within our supply chain
• The last pillar is caring for our planet, which is our encompassing programme of sustainability.
When we talk about purpose over the last five years, we’ ve really seen a cultural maturity and change within Tate & Lyle. It is fully embedded in everything we do, from thinking about our procurement processes to working with customers on new product developments. It has become a very integral part to the way that we operate and grow the company.
