Ethical Sourcing
At Veetee we try, wherever possible, to work with local
suppliers and producers. We are fully aware of the impact our
business can have on the local communities and we pride ourselves
in working to support local businesses. In addition, we are
involved with a seed multiplication scheme which encourages local
farmers to get back to agriculture by cultivating rice with a
buy-back arrangement, where the finished product is sold in the
local market.
Staff
We understand that it is only through the work and commitment of
our dedicated colleagues that we are able to achieve results and
success. We strongly believe that by working as a team more
can be achieved than if we were to simply work towards our
individual goals. Each colleague is given personal
responsibility for their work and performance towards our corporate
objectives. We are proactive in creating a working
environment which reflects the diverse nature of the bigger society
and our consumer demographics.
Long term business relationships
We are committed to forming long term business relationships
with our customers and suppliers, and develop closer associations
which will achieve better results for all. We also share best
practice where possible to help to solve business needs.
Minimising waste
The operation of rice milling generates a lot of waste as husks
and bran are removed from the individual grains. We ensure
that this waste is kept to a minimum and reprocessed. In
addition all cardboard and discarded packaging is
recycled. Through our efforts less than 5% of our total waste
is sent to landfill sites and we are working hard to reduce this
figure even more.
Investing in the future
As a privately owned company we do not have the same
responsibilities to shareholders and can reinvest back into the
business to enable expansion whether it be on an operational level,
entering new markets or creating new innovative products.
