Sustainability

At Tuna Sourcing, we aim to preserve not only the flavors of today but also those of the future. While processing every aroma we take from nature, we never forget our responsibility toward the environment and society.

In every area we operate, sustainability is not an option but a core principle of our business model.

Environmental Sustainability

Efficient Use of Natural Resources: In our food and agricultural sourcing processes, we take full responsibility for every raw material we use. We prioritize the efficient use of water, soil, and energy resources, while focusing on minimizing waste and promoting recycling.
Energy Efficiency: In our processing and packaging facilities, we adopt systems that reduce energy consumption and continuously improve efficiency by supporting the use of renewable energy sources.
Water Management: We carefully control water consumption in cleaning, steam sterilization, and production areas, using modern equipment and methods that save water. We value every single drop.
Emission Control: From drying to transportation, we adopt technologies that minimize air emissions and take steps to reduce our overall carbon footprint.
Biodiversity Protection: We support our suppliers in maintaining harmony with nature by protecting local flora and fauna, and we promote a conscious approach to preserving the diversity of aromatic plants.
Waste Management: We separate organic and packaging waste in a way that prevents environmental damage, recycle materials wherever possible, and ensure hazardous waste is disposed of safely through authorized organizations.

Social Sustainability

Employee Rights & Safety: At Tuna Sourcing, we respect the rights of our employees and are committed to providing a safe, hygienic, and healthy working environment. Through training and development opportunities, we support the growth of our team members and foster a corporate culture where every individual can reach their full potential.
Community Engagement: Many of our products are sourced directly from local farmers and producer cooperatives. In the regions where we operate, we act with social responsibility by supporting agricultural development, promoting women’s participation in the workforce, and encouraging youth employment initiatives.
Commitment to Ethical Values: Integrity, transparency, and ethical principles guide all our business processes. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward bribery, discrimination, and corruption, and we believe that fair trade is the foundation of sustainable growth.
Customer & Supplier Relationships: We aim to build long-term, sustainable partnerships with our customers and suppliers based on mutual trust. Guided by the principles of shared value and ethical responsibility, we provide a stable and transparent business environment for all our stakeholders.

Economic Sustainability

Responsible Resource Management: At Tuna Sourcing, we recognize the value of every raw material we source from nature. We are committed to procuring spices and aromatic herbs responsibly, traceably, and efficiently to ensure that future generations can also benefit from these natural resources.
Innovation & Efficiency: We continuously explore new technologies, drying and processing methods, as well as storage and logistics solutions to improve our operational efficiency. In doing so, we not only reduce our environmental impact but also provide our customers with more competitive pricing and sustainable quality.
Long-Term Planning: Instead of focusing on short-term gains, we develop and implement sustainable growth strategies that generate long-term value. Together with all stakeholders in our supply chain, we aim to build a stable business model based on mutual benefit.

Our Services & Sustainability

Project-Based Product Sourcing: At Tuna Sourcing, we prioritize spices and botanicals grown through sustainable farming practices and sourced from traceable, eco-conscious origins for all project-based sourcing solutions. By optimizing our logistics chain, we aim to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation while ensuring both environmental and operational efficiency.
Import & Export Solutions: In our import and export operations, we contribute to sustainability by adopting eco-friendly transportation methods, recyclable packaging materials, and digital documentation systems. At the same time, we encourage both our local and international partners to comply with environmental regulations and to embrace responsible sourcing principles, helping us extend a culture of sustainability across the supply chain.

Our Products & Sustainability

Spices & Aromatic Herbs: Spices and aromatic herbs are among nature’s purest and most renewable resources. With their long shelf life, additive-free composition, and minimal processing requirements, they contribute significantly to sustainability in the food industry. At Tuna Sourcing, we integrate sustainability principles into every stage, from product selection to processing. We collaborate with local producers, support traditional farming methods, and preserve the natural integrity and traceability of our products while minimizing environmental impact.
Seeds, Shells & Botanical Raw Materials: Many of the botanical raw materials we supply, such as herbs and spices, dried fruits and frozen products directly serve sustainability through organic farming, natural regeneration cycles, and contributions to biodiversity. Additionally, certain aromatic plant shells and kernels act as valuable raw materials for natural preservatives, botanical extracts, and eco-friendly industrial products. With this awareness, we structure our supply chain not only around quality but also around the potential for environmental contribution.

At Tuna Sourcing, we recognize that sustainability is not a destination but a continuous journey of improvement. We are committed to consistently enhancing our environmental and social performance, maintaining open and transparent communication with all stakeholders, and pursuing our sustainability goals with determination. With this approach, we continue to work tirelessly at every step to build a more responsible, more conscious, and more sustainable supply chain.
