COMPANY PROFILE Koster Keunen
Founded in 1852, Koster Keunen is the world’s leader in natural waxes and wax technology. We specialise in the development, processing, and manufacturing of quality ingredients at each of our production sites. Our technological strengths include extensive knowledge of waxes, emulsifiers, esters and their derivatives. We dedicate ourselves to innovation, ethical sourcing, transparency and sustainability.
PRESERVING OUR EARTH, BEES AND BIODIVERSITY WITH SUSTAINABLY SOURCED BEESWAX The act of bee pollination is a key factor that keeps flora and fauna in balance. Healthy trees and plants prevent climate change, desertification, and soil erosion. Sustainable beekeeping helps with preserving and supporting a biodiverse ecosystem.
COMMITMENT IN WEST AFRICA In early 2019, Koster Keunen opened a new West African facility in Lomé, Togo, which is dedicated to our sustainable beeswax initiative. Our Sustainable Beeswax supply chain in West Africa is a long-term commitment with cooperative and beekeeper groups. In partnership with International Cooperation and NGO’s, we are structuring, training and improving the good practices of beekeepers in multiple nations. The results of this work can be seen in the quality of wax produced, the recurrent income at the local level and professionalisation of the local beekeeping society.
TRACEABLE FROM THE HIVE TO THE CUSTOMER
Our Sustainable supply chain is built on allegiances between all participants on the value chain. It is fully traceable from the beekeepers to our customers delivery. This transparency is reflected in the quality, quantity, crop and price paid to each beekeeper.
SUPPORTING THE FOUNDATIONS OF BEEKEEPING Our team located in West Africa includes an expert staff who are involved and present in the field and with the beekeepers. We proudly fund safety programs and support coalitions donating specialised equipment to beekeepers. We are fully engaged in creating a positive impact, starting in the flowers and fields, and focused on our three pillars: •Social •Economic •Environmental Our prototype formulas are focused on current and upcoming market trends to support global product development.
