Puratos is an international group that offers a full range of innovative food ingredients and services for the bakery, patisserie and chocolate sectors. It services artisans, retailers, industrial, and food service companies in over 100 countries worldwide.
Its headquarters are located in Belgium, where the company was founded in 1919. Puratos focuses on three key pillars: innovation, health & well-being and sustainability across the sector.
Since 2023, Puratos has partnered with Earthworm Foundation on palm oil supply chain traceability and grievance management. This work includes mapping suppliers to the mill level to increase transparency in the supply chain and reviewing grievances raised by NGOs, media, and local stakeholders.
In 2025, Puratos became a member of Earthworm Foundation. They extended the collaboration to include using Starling, a satellite monitoring solution co-developed with Airbus, to identify deforestation risks across its palm oil supply chain. Earthworm supports Puratos by analysing data and linking insights to supplier engagement.
