Agribusiness business, Johnvents Group of Companies has launched its environmental charter designed to guide environmental performance across the Group.

The launch of the environmental charter, according to John Alamu, Managing Director of the Johnvents Group, signals a shift from the organisation’s policy intent to system-wide implementation.

Alamu disclosed that the group’s FMCG business unit has cleared a major international audit, and field teams completed back to back training programmes spanning cocoa traceability, child labour monitoring, and cooperative governance.

According to Alamu, “Moving beyond a conventional policy document, the Charter defines clear priorities across resource efficiency, waste management, pollution prevention, and climate action, each backed by implementation plans, timelines, and measurable targets.

“Crucially, it is embedded within daily operations rather than isolated within a sustainability function, placing execution in the hands of teams across production, procurement, and logistics.”

Alamu said that the integration not only strengthens accountability but also aligns the Group with international ESG expectations, positioning it to meet rising due diligence requirements from global buyers, particularly in the cocoa export market.

The GMD explained that operational alignment extends into the Group’s FMCG business unit, where Johnvents Foods recorded a significant milestone with the successful completion of the FSSC 22000 Stage 2 audit conducted by Bureau Veritas on March 3–4.
