Über Virgin Nuts

"Virgin Nuts liefert handwerklich beschichtete Nüsse - ohne künstliche Zusatzstoffe - um Kunden ein hervorragendes, natürliches, frisches Geschmackserlebnis zu bieten."

 

Virgin Nuts | Rhenen

Geschichte

Als Student begann Diederick im Jahr 1999 mit der Beschichtung von Nüssen. Der gemütliche Straßenverkauf war schon lange Geschichte als er sich entscheidet seine Leidenschaft, Erfahrung und sein Know-how in einem neuen Unternehmen unter dem Namen Virgin Nuts zu bündeln.

Seitdem - wir schreiben das Jahr 2008 - haben viele Tausende von Tonnen an köstlichen handwerklich mit Honig beschichtete Nüsse die Virgin Nuts-Fabrik verlassen und mehr und mehr Kunden versorgen sich mit einem hervorragenden natürlichen und frischen Geschmackserlebnis.

Indem wir unsere Produkte um hohe Qualität und guten Service ergänzen, verwandeln wir Einkäufe in langfristige Beziehungen mit unseren Kunden. Und mit unserer Leidenschaft für Nüsse, neuen Ideen und Geschmacksrichtungen wächst die Anzahl der (inter)nationalen Partnerschaften stark.

Die Virgin Nuts-Fabrik ist geräumig und sowohl schlank als auch dynamisch. Große oder kleine Aufträge, wir können einfach unserer Produktion darauf einstellen. Dabei ist ein maximaler Wert mit so wenig wie möglichen Verlust garantiert ist.

Mit einem bewährten Rezept und einem einzigartigen Beschichtungsverfahren, können wir wirklich sagen, dass Virgin Nuts den europäischen Nussmarkt „rockt“.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Virgin Nuts philosophy: living and working together for the common good

At Virgin Nuts, we look at the impact our business activities have on customers, employees, communities and the environment as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Strategy.
Virgin Nuts philosophy - 'living and working together for the common good' - defines the principles of CSR and has been embedded at the centre of the business since 2010. We aim to be worthy of worldwide admiration by achieving corporate growth while contributing to the prosperity and happiness of humankind.

Conservation of the environment

Our environmental strategy focuses on three core objectives: elimination of hazardous substances; resource conservation; and energy conservation. We continually assess how we can reduce the amount of packaging, hazardous and non-renewable materials used in our products. Virgin Nuts also aims to reduce the environmental burden in all stages of a product's lifecycle, from production, to use and onto disposal via recycling.

Recycling and waste reduction

At the start of Virgin Nuts waste was not separated. All waste was collected and was picked up by the disposal company for incineration. Due to the global warming problems, Virgin Nuts started with waste separation in 2010. Cardboard and plastic was separated from the total waste and collected for recycling. At the beginning of 2011, Virgin also started to separate the food grade waste after filtering in the production process. This separated food grade waste is now used for the extraction of biogas. Due to these adjustments in the waste treatment process we have given 11,746 pounds of valuable materials (or more than 95%) a second life as recycled raw material for new products. We also save the emission of 4,181 kg of CO2. This CO2 reduction is equivalent for driving 19,815 km, 734 hours showering or 9,169 days of a 40 watt light bulb.

Corporate Governance and Compliance

Virgin Nuts ensures compliance with laws and regulatory requirements such as data protection, company law, customers and corporate governance.
Virgin Nuts Code of Conduct incorporates our guiding Three Self's principles: Self Awareness, Self-Management, and Self-Motivation. We also encourage our employees to draw attention to any non-compliance of this Code of Conduct without recrimination, to ensure we maintain ethical standards at all times.

Workplace

Virgin Nuts understands that a happy workforce is a productive workforce. Therefore, we ensure that this is promoted wherever possible. We operate to strict social standards on labour conditions in our factory and we've never had legal resource on any human rights issues.
We ensure we understand local social policies and etiquette and use these to help share best practices. Virgin Nuts works to foster a corporate culture that encourages an enterprising spirit by acknowledging the human values of ambition, responsibility and mission, and by guaranteeing fair and impartial evaluation based on merit.

Sport clubs

Virgin Nuts recognises the valuable role that sport clubs play within society. In one way or another, everyone is involved in sports or some sort, whether they're playing or watching or just knowing someone who does either. Sports bring people together. For this reason we support a sport club in the Netherlands by sponsoring and collecting paper for subsidized income.

Anti-bribery - Anti-corruption Policy

It is our policy to conduct all of our business in an honest and ethical manner

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to establish controls to ensure compliance with all applicable anti-bribery and corruption regulations, and to ensure that Virgin Nuts' business is conducted in a socially responsible manner.

Policy statement

Bribery is the offering, promising, giving, accepting or soliciting of an advantage as an inducement for action which is illegal or a breach of trust. A bribe is an inducement or reward offered, promised or provided in order to gain any commercial, contractual, regulatory or personal advantage. It is our policy to conduct all of our business in an honest and ethical manner. We take a zero tolerance approach to bribery and corruption. We are committed to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships wherever we operate and implementing and enforcing effective systems to counter bribery. We will uphold all laws relevant to countering bribery and corruption in all the jurisdictions in which we operate and we take our legal responsibilities very seriously.

Scope

Who is covered by the policy?

In this policy, third party means any individual or organisation you come into contact with during the course of your work for us, and includes actual and potential clients, customers, suppliers, distributors, business contacts, agents, advisers, and government and public bodies, including their advisors, representatives and officials, politicians and political parties. This policy applies to all individuals working at all levels and grades, including trainees, volunteers, interns, agents, sponsors, or any other person associated with us.
This policy covers:

  • Bribes;
  • Gifts and hospitality;
  • Facilitation payments;
  • Political contributions;
  • Charitable contributions.

Bribes

Employees must not engage in any form of bribery, either directly or through any third party (such as an agent or distributor). Specifically, employees must not bribe a foreign public official anywhere in the world.

Gifts and hospitality

Employees must not offer or give any gift or hospitality:

  • which could be regarded as illegal or improper, or which violates the recipient's policies; or
  • to any public employee or government officials or representatives, or politicians or political parties; or
  • which exceeds €75 in value for each individual gift or hospitality event (not to exceed a total value of €300 in any financial year), unless approved in writing by the Director.

Employees may not accept any gift or hospitality from our business partners if:

  • it exceeds €75 in value for each individual gift or hospitality event (not to exceed a total of €300 in any financial year), unless approved in writing by the Director; or
  • it is in cash; or
  • there is any suggestion that a return favour will be expected or implied.

If it is not appropriate to decline the offer of a gift, the gift may be accepted, provided it is then declared to the Director and donated to charity. We appreciate that the practice of giving business gifts varies between countries and regions and what may be normal and acceptable in one region may not be in another. The test to be applied is whether in all the circumstances the gift or hospitality is reasonable and justifiable. The intention behind the gift should always be considered.

Facilitation payments and kickbacks

Facilitation payments are a form of bribery made for the purpose of expediting or facilitating the performance of a public official for a routine governmental action, and not to obtain or retain business or any improper business advantage. Facilitation payments tend to be demanded by low level officials to obtain a level of service which one would normally be entitled to. Our strict policy is that facilitation payments must not be paid. We recognise, however, that our employees may be faced with situations where there is a risk to the personal security of an employee or his/her family and where a facilitation payment is unavoidable, in which case the following steps must be taken:

  • Keep any amount to the minimum;
  • Create a record concerning the payment; and
  • Report it to your line manager.

In order to achieve our aim of not making any facilitation payments, each business of Virgin Nuts will keep a record of all payments made, which must be reported to the Director, in order to evaluate the business risk and to develop a strategy to minimise such payments in the future.

Political contributions

We do not make donations, whether in cash or kind, in support of any political parties or candidates, as this can be perceived as an attempt to gain an improper business advantage.

Charitable contributions

Charitable support and donations are acceptable (and indeed are encouraged), whether of inkind services, knowledge, time, or direct financial contributions. However, employees must be careful to ensure that charitable contributions are not used as a scheme to conceal bribery. We only make charitable donations that are legal and ethical under local laws and practices. No donation must be offered or made without the prior approval of the Director. All charitable contributions should be publicly disclosed.

Your responsibilities

You must ensure that you read, understand and comply with this policy. The prevention, detection and reporting of bribery and other forms of corruption are the responsibility of all those working for us or under our control. All employees are required to avoid any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy. You must notify the Director as soon as possible if you believe or suspect that a conflict with or breach of this policy has occurred, or may occur in the future. Any employee who breaches this policy will face disciplinary action, which could result in dismissal for gross misconduct. We reserve our right to terminate our contractual relationship with other workers if they breach this policy.

Record-keeping

We must keep financial records and have appropriate internal controls in place which will evidence the business reason for making payments to third parties. You must declare and keep a written record of all hospitality or gifts accepted or offered, which will be subject to managerial review. You must ensure all expenses claims relating to hospitality, gifts or expenses incurred to third parties are submitted in accordance with our expenses policy and specifically record the reason for the expenditure. All accounts, invoices, memoranda and other documents and records relating to dealings with third parties, such as clients, suppliers and business contacts, should be prepared and maintained with strict accuracy and completeness. No accounts must be kept "off-book" to facilitate or conceal improper payments.

How to raise a concern

You are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of malpractice at the earliest possible stage. If you are unsure whether a particular act constitutes bribery or corruption, or if you have any other queries or concerns, these should be raised with the Director.

What to do if you are a victim of bribery or corruption

It is important that you tell the Director as soon as possible if you are offered a bribe by a third party, are asked to make one, suspect that this may happen in the future, or believe that you are a victim of another form of unlawful activity.

Protection

Employees who refuse to accept or offer a bribe, or those who raise concerns or report another's wrongdoing, are sometimes worried about possible repercussions. We aim to encourage openness and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith under this policy, even if they turn out to be mistaken. We are committed to ensuring no one suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of refusing to take part in bribery or corruption, or because of reporting in good faith their suspicion that an actual or potential bribery or other corruption offence has taken place, or may take place in the future. Detrimental treatment includes dismissal, disciplinary action, threats or other unfavourable treatment connected with raising a concern. If you believe that you have suffered any such treatment, you should inform the Director immediately.

Who is responsible for the policy?

The board of directors has overall responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with our legal and ethical obligations, and that all those under our control comply with it. The Director has primary and day-to-day responsibility for implementing this policy, and for monitoring its use and effectiveness and dealing with any queries on its interpretation. Management at all levels are responsible for ensuring those reporting to them are made aware of and understand this policy.

Monitoring and review

The Director will monitor the effectiveness and review the implementation of this policy, regularly considering its suitability, adequacy and effectiveness. Any improvements identified will be made as soon as possible. Internal control systems and procedures will be subject to regular audits to provide assurance that they are effective in countering bribery and corruption. All employees are responsible for the success of this policy and should ensure they use it to disclose any suspected danger or wrongdoing. Employees are invited to comment on this policy and suggest ways in which it might be improved. Comments, suggestions and queries should be addressed to the Director. This policy does not form part of any employee's contract of employment and it may be amended at any time.
