Yulia Bereshchenko, director of sustainable business development of the agro-industrial holding “Astarta”, in an interview with “Economichna Pravda” talks about the importance of the trend of sustainable development for business:

“We took the first steps in the field of sustainable development by studying the experience of our key customers – global companies such as Nestle, Coca Cola, Mondelez – international business practices that focus not only on profitability but also on the impact on society and the environment. Each projects its values globally, setting high sustainability standards for local suppliers in addition to standard product specifications. For example, these global companies have announced decarbonization goals as part of climate change mitigation. And these goals can be met only by decarbonizing the entire supply chain, which includes, among other countries, Ukraine (Scope3 emissions). By reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Astarta’s operations, we not only make our business more sustainable but also help our customers achieve their climate goals. In this way, we spread sustainable business practices among our local suppliers to jointly develop ecologically and socially responsible businesses for the benefit of Ukrainian society, economy, and environment.”
