Although we've made a lot of progress there's still work to do. In support of these important initiatives we're
implementing robust reporting tools (SASB, GRI, Etc.)
All of the initiatives below are supported and governed by a set of policies and processes. Some examples of governance
are: Aspire’s Employee Code of Conduct which addresses policies on human rights, child labor, freedom of association,
discrimination and harassment, confidentiality, bribery, and human trafficking/slavery. Compliance with California
Transparency in Supply Chain Act to disclose actions related to slavery and human trafficking. Annual engagement with
strategic customers to understand and plan for future supply chain expectations and nutrition/healthy needs. Completion
of SASB indicators for food manufacturers in FY22, plan for GRI reporting in FY23.
We've developed 2030 Science-Based Targets for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emission reductions, as well as the efforts that we'll undertake to meet those reduction targets. Current projects include implementation of battery storage solutions and fuel cells.
Water is a critical natural resource, we'll look first to minimize water use in our bakery operations and longer term in our supply chain.
We conducted a raw material risk assessment to identify the potential impacts of climate change. As a result we've focused on increased palm oil sustainability throughout our supply chain and have increased use of recycled content and promoted recyclability of finished packaging.
We require all suppliers to sign Aspire's Vendor Code of Conduct and agree to third party audits. Our goal is to ensure that human rights are respected throughout our supply chain.
Aspire's goal is to fully transition to cage free eggs by the end of 2025.
We're proud of the work we've done to donate food during the COVID pandemic, in the future we expect our bakeries and offices to continue to support their local communities.
All of Aspire's bakeries are GFSI certified. In support of our goal of world-class quality and food safety, we will continue to enhance our processes and set the highest standards for our bakery team.
Aspire has an industry leading human safety program, the goal of the program is to provide a safe and healthy workplace, as we look forward we'll implement initiatives to further increase our safety metrics.
Aspire will continue to innovate internally for improved quality and efficiency, we'll also provide innovative food solutions for our customers to meet consumer trends.
