Tunde Ilmane-Melath, who heads up Civita’s UK operations, emphasised the positive attributes of the group’s operating model. “We can keep costs and carbon footprint low by using our own GMO-free raw materials, which are grown on our own plantations, using our own world-class technology, which won an innovation award in 2012. We also use our own distribution channels, allowing retailers to maximise their margin,” he suggested.
