Corporate & social responsibility

Major player in our markets, our position gives us a duty to set an example. That is why we have chosen to pursue a proactive policy in terms of social and environmental responsibility.

In 2010, we established our diagnosis CSR, with the help of an outside and recognized firm: Bureau Veritas. We relied on existing international frameworks ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, SA 8000 ... guidelines SD 21000 and followed the method of ISO 26000, the Global Compact, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) for the performance indicators.

Today, we are implementing our plan of actions to support the emergence of a more ethical and fairer environment.

With these commitments, we undertake concrete actions in our various business areas and in our spheres of influence in France and abroad. We believe that our CSR must be conceived as an opportunity for value creation, performance and innovation.

Some examples of our actions:

Environment

  • We conducted our the Life Cycle Analysis* for biolice, with the accompaniment of Bio Intelligence Service and the carbon foot print of our masa flour for Tex-Mex products, with the help of the company Bureau Veritas Codde. (* LCA is the only method for quantifying the potential environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle using ISO 1404X standards.)
  • We're calculating our carbon footprint using the method of ADEME on our administrative site in Riom (France-63).
