Working together towards a future-proof supply chain

Van Loon Group believes that development begins with improvement, innovation and collaboration. That is why we operate a sustainability policy that forms an integral part of our day-to-day business operations.

Van Loon Group supports customers in achieving their sustainability objectives. Our organisation reports on progress annually via the CSR Annual Report 2025. Through this, we demonstrate the steps we are taking and the choices we are making within the food supply chain.

We are working towards a future-proof food supply by collaborating with customers, suppliers and supply chain partners. This collaboration forms a key part of our approach.

How does Van Loon Group collaborate with livestock farmers and supply chain partners?

Van Loon Group believes that corporate social responsibility begins with collaboration. That is why our organisation works together with partners throughout the food supply chain.

We develop supply chain concepts in which producers, livestock farmers and buyers work together to tackle the challenges of tomorrow. In doing so, Van Loon Group supports a fair distribution of value within the supply chain.

As part of this approach, our organisation also supports the livestock farmer’s revenue model. In this way, we are working together to create a supply chain that is ready for the future.
