Teeba is dedicated to integrating sustainability into its operations and is actively striving to ensure that sustainability is managed in a coordinated and decentralized manner.

The Quality and Regulatory Department is tasked with coordinating Teeba's sustainability management efforts. In 2023, Teeba made significant progress in its sustainability initiatives. The company implemented various initiatives aimed at reducing its environmental impact, such as increasing the utilization of renewable energy sources and cutting down on water usage. Teeba also focused on minimizing waste generation by introducing an extensive recycling program. Moreover, the company invested in employee training and development to ensure they possess the necessary skills and knowledge to operate sustainably. Teeba collaborated closely with its suppliers to align with the company's sustainability objectives. This commitment to sustainability has positioned Teeba as a leading entity in the Jordanian market and a major contributor to the joint venture, IDJ, within the Almarai Company.

Environmental performance

Over the past years, Teeba has introduced various measures aimed at enhancing the efficiency of water consumption through adjustments to processes and equipment. These efforts have proven effective, resulting in a reduction of annual water withdrawal by 15,984 m3 and overall stationary water usage, while also reducing total waste generated by 2,565 Metrics tons. Furthermore, Teeba has maintained a flawless record of compliance with environmental laws and regulations. These outcomes underscore Teeba's dedication to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Moving forward, Teeba remains committed to further enhancing water efficiency, reducing vehicle fuel consumption, and minimizing waste generation.

Community engagement

Teeba is dedicated to creating a positive impact within the local community and beyond. In 2023, we contributed nearly 550,000 product servings to schools, governmental entities, and various charitable organizations in Jordan, while also providing support to engagement and educational campaigns. We initiated the rollout and execution of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activity plan created in 2021. This plan marks a significant advancement in formalizing our community investment approach, with identified sectors to focus our efforts on. We are committed to creating a positive impact in the lives of those around us and eagerly anticipate the effects of our CSR initiatives in the years ahead.

Employee development

Teeba prioritizes the investment in its employees' training, growth, and welfare, aiming to cultivate a work environment conducive to their development. In 2023, Teeba offered a number of initiatives to support its staff, including the promotion of ongoing training and career advancement opportunities. A total of 18,627 hours of training were provided with increase of 33% as compared to the previous year and all employees underwent employment development reviews. Moreover, Teeba fostered a strong and positive workplace culture, evident in the absence of discrimination or misconduct incidents throughout the year. Teeba further enhances employee benefits by offering flexible work arrangements and health & wellbeing programs. The company remains committed to continuously investing in its employees, ensuring they are equipped with the necessary skills and resources to thrive in their roles.

Health and safety

Teeba fosters a culture prioritizing health and safety, and in 2023, the company celebrated notable achievements in this regard. With 23 lost-time injuries for employees and no lost time injuries for contractors Teeba's robust health and safety protocols were clearly effective. To instill a sense of responsibility for health and safety, 2,495 hours of training were provided for employees and 144 hours for contractors, ensuring their active involvement in maintaining a safe work environment.

Quality and food safety

Teeba is dedicated to ensuring a safe and healthy environment for both its customers and employees, exemplified by its diligent efforts in attaining the FSSC 22000 Food Safety Certificate. This commitment was underscored during a recent AIB inspection, where Teeba received a commendable evaluation. Teeba has consistently achieved high scores on an international scale through these inspections, which are thorough and encompass various aspects of food safety, including pre-manufacturing prerequisites and best practices. These inspections involve physical examinations of facilities, manufacturing processes, personal hygiene practices, preventative maintenance programs to uphold product safety, as well as cleaning, sanitization, and pest control measures. Furthermore, AIB evaluates internal systems and documentation, establishing itself as a leader in food safety inspection and training. Teeba takes pride in its outstanding performance and remains dedicated to excellence, continuing to provide customers with top-quality products and exceptional service.

Responsible marketing and communications

In 2023, Teeba also implemented measures to ensure their products adhered to the regulations set by the Jordan Food and Drug Administration (JFDA). To enhance product promotion, they initiated specific marketing strategies, including forming cause marketing partnerships, launching influencer campaigns, and collaborating with nutritionists. Additionally, they offered online and digital assistance for both their existing products and the development of new ones. Teeba is dedicated to complying with responsible marketing and communication standards, ensuring consumers receive accurate information regarding the health and nutritional advantages of their products. As a result, Teeba experienced no non-compliance with regulations or voluntary codes in 2023, with all products undergoing evaluation to meet required standards. This commitment to quality and safety showcases Teeba's dedication to offering consumers the utmost care and reliability.
