Universal Sugar Mill List to help map the sugar supply chain

Tate & Lyle Sugars Welcomes the Launch of the Universal Sugar Mill List by the Sugar Collaboration Group

The launch of the Universal Sugar Mill List (UML) by the Sugar Collaboration Group marks an important step in a collective journey towards a more sustainable sugar supply chain.

The UML is a list of approximately 1,000 sugarcane mills and sugar beet factories across sugar-producing countries worldwide, each with its own unique reference number. It will act as a reliable reference, making it easier to identify mills and support the mapping of supply chains in a more efficient and standardised way.

Tate & Lyle Sugars is part of the Sugar Collaboration Group, which aims to bring stakeholders across the sugar sector, including sugarcane farms and mills, traders, refiners and their customers, together to tackle common sustainability challenges and share perspectives and learnings. We have already been working with the Group to convene a conversation on deforestation and its remediation in sugar. We are delighted that the UML has launched and can now be used to support traceability, essential for understanding both environmental and social challenges and opportunities in the sugar industry.
