Setting The Example Through Sustainability.

At Andina Ingham, we pride ourselves on our industry leading partnerships. We like to ensure that our customers reap the benefits of process-optimised, premium speciality products, that are sustainably sourced. This is why our partnership with Norevo GmbH is so important.

Norevo is an established and globally operating family business that specialises in the production and trade of natural raw ingredients.

Andina Ingham partners with Norevo to supply:

• Confectionery Performers
• Gum Acacia
• Liquorice
• Agave Syrup

Norevo also possesses a state-of-the art analytical and technical laboratory which is involved not only in quality assurance but also in product development and trial runs for ongoing development projects.

However, what makes our partnership with Norevo so special and valuable is their stance towards sustainability. As raw materials are at the core of their business, Norevo seeks to “invest in a future in which the environment, economy and social responsibility are in a state of harmony and balance.” In an attempt to achieve this ambitious goal, our partner is in the process of implementing a company-wide sustainability policy that is closely aligned with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

With 120 years of experience sourcing natural raw materials from all over the globe, Norevo has developed the knowledge, experience, and technology to do this the right way; optimising its production process in a sustainable and ethical fashion.

Norevo not only ensures that the quality and purity of their products meet the high standards of the food, confectionary and beverage industries, but pride themselves on delivering the very best raw ingredients, ethically and sustainably sourced. The foundations of this begin with trust; trust which Norevo has ingrained in their supply chain and with us. Trust and traceability are at the core of our great partnership.

Whether it is engaging with local NGOs in West Africa, or diverse projects across the globe, such as reforestation and biodiversity to combat youth unemployment, our partner leads by example. One of our staples at Andina Ingham, Gum Acacia, captures this:

• It is still to this day harvested by hand.
• Norevo provides more than 100 years of experience in the procurement of Gum Acacia, building a sustainable and stable network of partners in its African regions of origin.
• Deforestation is a growing problem across the Gum Belt. Our partner assures us that their harvesting activities do not contribute towards deforestation, rather providing a good source of income for the local population.

This is not unique to Gum Acacia, but can be found throughout Norevo’s product catalogue, from natural wax products to liquorice. Indeed, with a view to enhanced transparency throughout their supply chain, Norevo have joined initiatives, including the Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chains Initiative and the Initiative for Responsible Carnauba. This is all in line with our partner’s goal to work towards a better climate. Furthermore, their products are verified by a number of certifications including:

• EU Bio: ensuring natural origin/ certified organic
• GMP +: the traceability and transparency of supply chains
• Kosher
• Halal
• RSPO: the roundtable of sustainable palm oil
• Ecocert: respecting living ecosystems and promoting better management of natural resources (water, air, soil fertility)
• Fair Trade

Indeed, at a time when sustainability has never been more important, Norevo sets the pace. Not only do they supply the highest-grade raw materials, but they are doing so in a traceable and sustainable manner.

At Andina Ingham, we are on our own sustainability journey – committed to making the best choices for the environment at an individual and company level.

As an agent & broker, not everything is within our power to change but when it comes to choosing partners and suppliers we are determined to work with those who share our commitment to protecting the planet.

And so we are proud to partner with Norevo who, like us, are committed not only to giving back to their customers but to the planet also.
