Holistic, social, committed: sustainability at Seyfried

Sustainability plays a central role in an international business such as spice imports. Although we are not subject to statutory reporting obligations due to our company size, we are nevertheless intensively concerned with the ecological, social and economic impact of our business activities. We take responsibility for our environment and our fellow human beings and expect the same from our stakeholders. You can find detailed information on this in our Code of Conduct.

Ph. Seyfried is a member of the following organisations:

One cooperation that is particularly close to our hearts at Ph. Seyfried is with Little Smile. The Little Smile Association was founded in 1999 by director and documentary filmmaker Michael Kreitmeir in Sri Lanka as an aid organisation for "children and women with children in need". Since 2007, the organisation has comprised several spice farms under the name "Little Smile Organic". These not only co-finance the social projects, but also offer secure and fairly paid jobs. We buy pepper from Little Smile Organic at fair prices and were able get a detailed impression of Michael Kreitmeir's impressive work on site.
