Sustainability Commitment

Sustainability is a key element in KDD’s daily operations and conversations. KDD was one of the first companies in Kuwait to establish an environmental department. KDD is on a mission to ensure the entire value chain delivers on the pillars of people, planet and nutrition.

The KDD Sustainability Vision

Producing sustainably, providing healthy Goodness, leaving only Goodness behind.
  • Sustainably manufacturing and distributing high quality nutritious food & beverage is at the heart of everything we do. This is what we mean by producing sustainably.
  • Our purpose goes beyond that. To address metabolic health we want to feed the gut, protect the liver and support brain health through our products, ultimately contributing to a healthier population. This is what providing healthy Goodness means.
  • We aim to do what is in our power to minimise our environmental footprint, protect the planet and leave only Goodness behind. “Goodness” also reflects the actions and initiatives that we take in support of our employees and the communities we serve
