Manuchar’s Sustainability Mission
With a focus on emerging markets, Manuchar operates an extensive network of offices and warehouses across over 40 countries and 160 locations, connecting producers with end-users worldwide. Our mission is to be a trusted partner, delivering essential commodities while upholding integrity, sustainability, and social responsibility. We build strong relationships, drive innovation, and positively impact the communities we serve, ensuring our customers' productions run smoothly anytime, anywhere, while creating value for all stakeholders.
Manuchar is committed to being a leader in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, particularly in emerging markets. Our global "We Care" sustainability program is built on four pillars: environmental protection, social responsibility, corporate governance, and responsible sourcing. This program underscores our commitment to legal and ethical standards, the promotion of human rights, responsible business practices, and community engagement, ensuring we operate sustainably and ethically in all our endeavors.
Our commitment to achieving Net-Zero Carbon by 2050 reflects our aspiration to build a sustainable future. By integrating environmental, social, and ethical principles into our business, we aim to improve the quality of life in the local communities we serve and enhance our long-term stakeholder value.
Aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), our "We Care" program demonstrates our dedication to a sustainable and equitable world. We also adhere to the UN Global Compact, upholding standards in human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption.
The ManuCare Program
Access to quality education remains a significant challenge in many communities, especially in remote or underserved areas. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this issue, with school closures and struggles in online learning. Barriers such as gender inequality, cultural differences, and language diversity further hinder education.
Currently, 258 million children and youth are out of school, and 775 million adults are illiterate. Through our social responsibility program ManuCare, part of the larger We Care program, we aim to reduce these numbers by providing life-changing educational opportunities. ManuCare is dedicated to making a positive impact in the communities where we operate through initiatives such as building or renovating schools, offering training programs, supplying essential school materials like school boards and laptops, and ensuring access to clean water and renewable energy.
Since its inception in 2021, the ManuCare program has significantly impacted communities, positively affecting over 5,000 individuals. By focusing on these efforts, we contribute to reducing unemployment among young people and adults with minimal education, fostering a brighter future for the communities we serve.
Manuchar in Vision 2045
