Sustainability
In 2023 we created our first sustainability strategy, underpinning all the work we needed to make our vision a reality. It covers our material issues under three pillars – Sustaining People, Sustaining Agriculture and Sustaining Planet.
The vision, mission and pillars in the strategy set out our commitment to building a business that can sustain its growth over the long term and deliver social and environmental value alongside financial returns.

To focus on providing high-quality products and services supported by industry expertise and to deliver the highest level of customer satisfaction.
Integrity, Passion, Respect, Forward thinking and Teamwork.
Social responsibility is an integral part of our operations. We support communities through initiatives like the Makkah Kids Charity House and the One Million Trees initiative. We also invest in our colleagues' development with comprehensive training programs, fostering a skilled and empowered workforce.
This pillar represents responsible business practices that ensure long-term, sustainable growth. Innovation rives this approach, exemplified by our efficient operations and waste to value projects promoting a circular economy. We focus on operational efficiency, reducing our waste, and prioritizing responsible sourcing to maintain the sustainability of our supply chain.
Protecting the planet for future generations is a core value at Tanmiah. We address climate change by prioritizing energy efficiency and exploring renewable energy solutions. Our resource management efforts include afforestation and partnerships to preserve natural resources.
To define our sustainability strategy, we took a double-materiality approach, to ensure we are focused on relevant risk areas where we can create value for Tanmiah and its stakeholders. This involved three phases
Building customer trust through high-quality, product safety and responsible labelling
Building resilient ecosystems through continuous innovation and R&D
Reducing waste at every stage of farm-to-fork cycle
Diversity, equity and inclusion
Investment in talent
Strong corporate culture
Health and safety of workforce
Climate and water action
Our business is growing fast, and we’ll sustain that growth and deliver long-term value for all stakeholders by embedding the management of sustainability priorities deep into our business. Our strategy was built on a strong foundation of materiality, and is aligned to the UNSDGs.
