The company’s sustainable sourcing strategy has a major focus on sustainable agricultural practices. A key component of this effort aims at achieving optimum productivity, and gradually reducing the dependence on synthetic inputs in the form of Plant Protection Formulas.
Tata Global Beverages’ commitment to reducing the use of synthetic Plant Protection Formulations in the supply chain is an integral part of TGBs commitment to greater sustainability to ensure the protection of the environment for the benefit of all.
The document published – Guidelines on Plant Protection formulations – outlines the vision to maintain sustainability in the supply chain by supporting Good Agricultural Practices, collaborations & partnerships, independent certifications, pilot projects and agricultural extension activities.
This applies to all the tea that’s purchased either through auctions or directly from suppliers, including subsidiary and associate plantation companies, big and small estates and small holders.
“As a responsible player in the natural beverages segment, TGB cares deeply about sustainability and recognises the importance of systematically reducing the use of Plant Protection Products in the tea industry and have been proactively advocating for the same,” said Ajoy Misra, MD & CEO of Tata Global Beverages. “From bush to cup, we are always conscious of our obligation towards our consumers and seek continuously to maintain and improve the quality of tea production, delivering not just to norms but above and beyond them wherever viable.”
