Client context: Nedspice Group is a global producer and processor of herbs and spices, sourcing directly from origin countries and supplying food manufacturers worldwide. The company manages key steps of the value chain — including cleaning, sterilisation, blending, and distribution — to ensure food safety, quality, and traceability. With operations across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, Nedspice connects farming communities with international food brands while advancing responsible sourcing practices.
Industry: Food & Ingredients.
Expert(s) provided: Chi N.
Key result: Delivered DMA training and workshop.
The challenge
As Nedspice’s sustainability work evolved, the team needed a clearer and more consistent approach to managing and analyzing sustainability data. Existing processes lacked shared structure, making it harder to apply DMA principles confidently across the organization. Rather than outsourcing the work, Nedspice aimed to build internal capability and ensure the team could independently manage data-driven sustainability requirements going forward.
The Dazzle solution
Dazzle connected Nedspice with Chi, a sustainability professional with strong expertise in DMA frameworks and data governance. From there, Chi took the lead in designing and delivering a tailored DMA training program. She combined clear explanations of DMA principles with hands-on exercises built around Nedspice’s own data and workflows. Through an interactive workshop, Chi helped the team translate theory into practical, day-to-day application, ensuring the knowledge gained could be used independently moving forward.
The impact
- Delivered tailored DMA training and hands-on workshop.
- Improved internal alignment on data management practices.
- Increased confidence in sustainability data analysis.
- Built lasting in-house capability for future reporting needs.
Client testimonial
