The C&A purchasing team travels the world to cultivate existing long-term relationships as well as to develop and discover new sources, flavor ingredients, and fragrance materials. We actively monitor the various production regions of our natural products to ensure a consistent supply for our customers. C&A supply chain experts maintain diversified global sources to ensure that key ingredients are available during times of shortage.
We conduct a careful review of the cultivating, harvesting, and production methods that are employed by growers. C&A bridges trust and tradition while honoring and respecting our global, national, and local neighbors. We are committed to the sustainability of basic resources. C&A is a founding member of the IFRA-IOFI Sustainability Charter, which is built around five focus areas: Responsible Sourcing, Environmental Footprint, Employee Well-being, Product Safety, and Transparency.
