Ethical & Premium Sourcing
The sourcing team is in charge of researching raw materials to offer reasoned solutions, from the field to the final product.
Groupe Berkem pays particular attention to plant sourcing, with the aim of guaranteeing the traceability and optimum quality of raw materials. Convinced that independence is paramount, the Group sources its plants directly from producers with whom sustainable production volumes are determined. Groupe Berkem favors local sourcing and short supply chains, long-term partnerships with producers and upcycling.
