Sustainable responsibility
The backaldrin sustainability concept
backaldrin has always been aware of its social responsibility. The family-owned company has focused on long-term partnerships, sustainable management and forward-looking thinking and action for many years. Austria's leading manufacturer of baking ingredients combines the traditional world of baking with state-of-the-art technology, stands for quality and innovation and never loses sight of nature.
Products from Austria
backaldrin has been known for high-quality baking ingredients and bread ideas that meet the needs of current and future generations since 1964. At the same time, the company has the principle of relying on domestic agriculture for everything that is available in Austria in sufficient quantity and quality.
92% of the ingredients for the worldwide well-known KornspitzĀ®, as well as more than 80% of all cereal products originate from Austria through regional partnerships. This not only strengthens the local agricultural landscape but also reduces transport distances to a minimum, which is in turn positive and important for enviromental balance.
Sustainable quality
Long-term, regional partnerships with suppliers are not only good for the climate. They give our customers the opportunity to purchase raw materials of consistent quality on a regional basis. Our products and processes are regularly checked and assessed by independent certification bodies. For example, backaldrin has been successfully certified according to organic, RSPO, UTZ or AMA guidelines for many years and is a member of Sedex, a data platform for transparency in companiesā commitment to sustainability. āAs a manufacturer of baking ingredients, we work with natural products on a daily basis, so it goes without saying that we take responsibility for the environment and nature,ā says backaldrin owner Peter Augendopler.
Sustainability
After the positive results when the company took part for the first time last year, the baking ingredients manufacturer improved further, and is now in the top ten percent of all companies assessed by EcoVadis. In the "manufacture of other food products" division, backaldrin even ranks in the top four percent.
