OatWell™ Responsible Sourcing

Nurturing people and planet

OatWell™ ingredients are good for both body and planet. Minimally processed, and sustainably sourced, they deliver nutritious and delicious food experiences that support wellbeing.

“Sourced from local farms in Sweden and powered by renewable energy, we transform each grain into high quality, healthy and sustainable ingredients."

Our Commitment

Sourced from nature

The oats used to make Oatwell™ are sustainably and transparently sourced in Sweden and Finland. We offer full traceability throughout the entire supply chain. Our farmers employ responsible agricultural practices and minimise pesticide and herbicide use.

Minimally processed

We use a gentle fractionation method to maintain the oat beta-glucan's structure and nutritional benefits. The goal of this process is to maximise OatWell™’s nutritional profile.

Sustainably manufactured

The oats used in OatWell™ are sourced and processed locally to reduce the transportation impact. We minimise waste handling by utilising rinse water for fields and using semi-solid waste for biogas. In addition, our processing plant operates on 75% renewable energy.

Ongoing commitments

As part of our continuous improvement efforts, we are committed to becoming climate positive before 2050, as are our suppliers and partners. In addition, we always look for new technologies with a superior environmental impact; for example, replacing diesel with a plate heat exchanger.
