CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)

We do not use palm oil

In the spring of 2016, we stopped using palm oil in our cereal products because we are not only a caring customer but also an enviromentally responsible company. We were the first Czech food producer to become a member ant then the general partner of the Coalition against Palm Oil. We adopted a serious approach to the consequences of setting up new palm plantations at the expense of rain forests. Although we were taking palm oil from the original plantations under the RSPO programme, we decided to replace it with coconut and olive oil an, eventually, sunflower oil. The sunflower is in European crop that is grown in our country, so it is a more natural alternative and one that is commonly used in the food industry. However, if the customer requiers the use of palm oil because of the requirements of the productś properties, we select palm oil from plantations were we know that they grow and obtain it in a considerate way.

Building habitats and restoring natural landscapes

 In recent years, the Czech landscape has been subject to a negative trend in which sites that are highly valuable in terms of nature are being destroyed. Not only individual animals and plants, but also entire species across the entire animal and plant kingdom are in decline. Species richness and diversity are declining. We at Semix Pluso are not indifferent to this situation. We decided to help protect the Czech natural environment and locate sites that can be restored to their original condition. Our long-term ambition is to create natural habitats for the fauna and flora of the selected biotopes and to preserve them for the future and for our children.

We own 82 hectares of land in the land registry areas of Dolní Benešov, Kozmice, Kobeřice, Raduň, Krčmaň u Olomouce, Valašská Bystřice, and Opava. In the biotopes, we restore the basic functions of the landscape, support endangered and protected species of organisms, and strive to preserve and promote biodiversity. We want to preserve the natural environment for both present and future generations of people who enjoy it to relax and to find solace in.
