Denise Wasem
Content & Copywriting DACH
Can you be a foodie even if you only know how to cook a handful of dishes? The answer: of course! Denise suffers from (self-diagnosed) Food Obsession Syndrome. Whether it's veggie curry, sticky tofu, spinach and feta risotto or caprese wraps – if she likes something, she likes to have the ingredients in her fridge. The junior content manager is always curious and loves delving into KoRo's diverse product range to write playful product descriptions or come up with exciting topics for the KoRo blog.
Outside of KoRo, Denise has a bachelor's degree in Fashion Journalism & Communication. However, fashion wasn't really her thing, and she quickly moved to food. One constant in her life: an incredible passion for writing! When she's not filling up her notebook, she's wandering around supermarkets (a little longer than ‘necessary’), sipping coffee, losing herself in books, crocheting or rummaging through Berlin's second-hand shops.

Deep dive: KoRo's supply chain
It is very important to us here at KoRo to shorten supply chains where possible and to be transparent about them, in order to enable consumers to make informed decisions. But what exactly we mean by short supply chains sometimes raises questions. This is why we want to explain how we approach the topic of supply chains, what we have already implemented, and where there is still room for improvement. As a comparatively young company on the market, we are still far from perfect and are on a journey towards more direct trade routes and more transparent supply chains. In this article, we would like to give you an insight into the challenges we face on this journey, why transparency in supply chains is important, and how we are approaching this topic.
