that could be faced in Madagascar

2. Morocco site is specialized in customizing natural products. This

allows easy introduction of vanilla customization processes

Health, safety and our environment are of utmost

importance to us and we pledge to do our part by

adhering to our comprehensive Environment, Health and

Safety (EHS) 100 plan, which requires that all

manufacturing sites globally are ISO 14001 certified.

Moreover, we are member of SEDEX, which empowers

ethical and responsible supply chain, dealing with all

ethical international labor unions.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS

On October 27th 2014 Takasago has entered a scientific

and financial partnership on vanilla research with the

Regional University Center of the SAVA (CURSA).

Takasago is funding the establishment of a Research

Laboratory and supporting a Ph.D. student local research.

Takasago and CURSA share a common vision for

Madagascar and the SAVA region: rehabilitating the local

education system and agronomy research infrastructures

with the final goal of reenergizing the ecotourism and

agriculture.

As of March 2015, this pioneering research – unique in

this genre in Madagascar – has already achieved

extraordinary results, among which the diagnosis and

classifications of vanilla diseases, the inventory and

characterization of the different varieties of vanilla in the

SAVA region, their botanical and genetics identification,

the creation of a Genomics bank, and the implementation

of an experimental field for vanilla.

PROTECTING THE

BIODIVERSITY

OF MADAGASCAR

All rights reserved

Takasago Madagascar, our plant dedicated to the

production of vanilla extracts located in Tamatave

(Madagascar), has obtained from the National

Office for Environment an Environmental

License granted after successfully completing a

comprehensive environmental audit.

Takasago was assessed and positively evaluated

on the status indicators like Waste Management,

Pollution Management, Risk and Danger

Management, Socio-Economical aspects, Sewage

systems, Noise level, Air Quality, Urban Safety,

quality habitats and urban landscape, Water

Consumption, Water Pollution and others.

FRIENDLY FACTORY

ENERGY

MANAGEMENTLack of access to energy is a daily problem in

Madagascar, which influences also the access to health

services especially in rural areas, to education and to

information.

Moreover, the strong dependence on petroleum and

wood-generated energy – representing 70% of the

energy consumption in economic sectors – means

severe environmental consequences such as pollution

and forest depletion.

Industries are generally subject to high risks with

energy sourcing and to a high average price of

electricity.

Takasago is actively reducing energy consumption and

controlling CO2 emissions globally, with examples

including Takasago De Mexico using a solar water

heater, which reduces CO2 emissions by nine tons a

year, and Takasago Europe Perfumery Laboratory in

France receiving 50 percent of the power consumed at

the plant from renewable resources.

Takasago Madagascar has chosen solar energy for

its laboratories, for the offices and for the canteen

infrastructure. Moreover, a powerful electricity generator

has been installed to avoid production failure and

quality risks and to ensure the uninterrupted functioning

of our network infrastructure.

All rights reserved

PURE, GOOD TASTING WATER

Population increase in both urban and rural areas, the dilapidation of forests

by bushfires and environment disruption due to intensive agriculture are

seriously threatening the delicate and precious ecosystem of Madagascar.

Takasago knows that sustaining our business means sustaining our

environment, especially in regards to one crucial asset: drinking water.

Takasago Madagascar site is located in a region rich in water, but

unfortunately characterized by a poor pipes network and low quality and

safety of water. Collaborating with a company specialized in water

treatment, we have installed a state-of-the-art water treatment system in

our site. Provided with four different filtration systems, among which a UV

Sterilizer complying with EEC requirements, the system continuously

provides drinkable water not only meeting standards on bacteriological

parameters, but also with a good taste.

WE’RE PRESERVING AND PROTECTING

EARTH’S MOST PLENTIFUL AND

VALUABLE RESOURCE.

All rights reserved

TRACEABILITY

ENSURING TRACEABILITY

OF BEANS

All the beans that Takasago purchases are certified from Madagascar

authorities about absence of pesticides, naturality and Bourbon quality.

In addition to that, we can also perform Carbon 14 analysis on batches of our

extracts, in order to consolidate the full traceability of beans origin and to be

able to label them as Bourbon.

This system also allows to reward the work done by Madagascar beans

planters, preparers and producers.

Takasago’s purchasing strategy combines supply from both green and bulk

market, and allows us to rationalize the whole process with respects to

standards for beans quality, reception procedure, inventory and production

management systems.

We have for objective and challenging goal the one of focusing on green

market only. This will allow us to provide the best quality for our extracts and

the best traceability possible, being able to control directly the preparation.

SOCIAL & ETHICAL

TAKASAGO SHOWS

ITS LONG TERM

COMMITMENT TO

THE DEVELOPMENT OF

MADAGASCAR IN MANY WAYS.

Takasago ensures to support also smallholders and

disadvantaged producers with our unique geo-spread

and highly composite beans sourcing method.

In a true Japanese spirit, we established a long-term

cooperative partnerships to ensure our supply of

vanilla is socially and environmentally sustainable, with

the help of our local partner which grants us

accessibility to planters.

We support local education, sustaining the birth of

SAVA local university in 2012 through IT equipment

donation.

Moreover, we are sponsoring a PhD student program for

local resources development with a project entitled

“Culture of Madagascar vanilla: Heritage to upgrade

urgently!“ (Project SAVAMA)

In 2016, we have committed to an exclusive research

program in cooperation with Belgium University and

SAVA University for the genetic research on vanilla

species in Madagascar.

We practice pre-financing, which supports the

Local economy on one side, and stimulates

planters to harvest beans when fully mature

to provide optimum quality on the other side.

Finally, we always ensure we pay a fair price

for all the types of beans we purchase,

making sure no planter is discriminated.

All rights reserved

AS WE WORK WITH THE

RAW MATERIALS WE NEED,

WE UPHOLD THE COMMITMENT OUR

WORLD REQUIRES.

HEALTH AND SAFETY Takasago requires all its affiliates to comply with the

most up-to-date standards in terms of work safety,

and Takasago Madagascar is no exception. Workers

are provided with insurance and equipment for

accidents prevention.

Moreover, Takasago Madagascar is undergoing

HACCP in order to ensure the safety and health of

workers. Hazard analysis and critical control points or

HACCP is a systematic preventive approach to food

safety from biological, chemical, and physical

hazards in production processes that can cause the

finished product to be unsafe, and designs

measurements to reduce these risks to a safe level.
