KOCHI: Tata Global Beverages has announced guidelines to sustainable beverage production and consumption. The company plans for 100 per cent sustainable sourcing by 2020. The sustainability strategy rests on five key pillars - ethical sourcing, water management, climate change management, waste management and community development, said a press release from the company.

The document published ‘Guidelines on Plant Protection formulations’ outlines the vision to maintain sustainability in the supply chain by supporting good agricultural practices, collaborations and partnerships, independent certifications, pilot projects and agricultural extension activities.

“The company’s sustainable sourcing strategy has a major focus on sustainable agricultural practices. A key component of this effort aims at achieving optimum productivity, and gradually reducing the dependence on synthetic inputs in the form of plant protection formula. This applies to all the tea that is purchased either through auctions or directly from suppliers, including subsidiary and associate plantation companies, big and small estates and small holders,” said Ajoy Misra, MD and CEO, Tata Global Beverages.
