Providing sustainable solutions
to our customers and consumers
Aware of our role in the French diet, we are committed to provid to our customers safe and high-quality products, while ensuring that they are sourced from sustainable sources and offered in increasingly eco-designed packaging. Through our involvement in the “Cultures Sucre” interprofessional organization, we play an active role in informing people about sugar, its origins, cultivation and consumption.

Guarantee our customers and consumers safe and high-quality products from sustainable sources in eco-designed packaging.
Supplying all our customers safe and quality products requires a daily commitment from our teams, as part of a continuous improvement process. Since 2015, our employees have also been enthusiastically driving innovative eco-design and continuous improvement projects for our packaging, in dynamic collaboration with our partners.
Objectives:
> 100% recyclable packaging by 2024 in supermarkets and, by 2027, across all channels.
Our polyethylene (PE) secondary packaging produced in France is all recyclable and 100% PE recycled, 30% of which comes from household waste.
Every year, our customers and independent certification bodies audit our plants.
Minimum packaging, maximum recycling!
We have been minimizing our packaging thanks to our eco-design efforts for many years. We have thus avoided the production of over 100 tonnes of plastic between 2015 and 2022, the equivalent of 2.8 million plastic bottles.
Numerous certifications recognize our committed approach
– IFS, ISO, SAI Gold for our plants
– FCA (Feed Chain Alliance) for our animal feed products
– Organic and Fairtrade for some of our sugars
– FSC for all our cardboard packaging
“When it comes to eco-design and reducing packaging at source, we can be proud of the work we’ve accomplished. It’s the result of close collaboration and emulation between our teams (production, sales, marketing) and the R&D teams of our packaging suppliers. Aware that we still have a long way to go, we have set ourselves ambitious targets for the coming years. We will reach them thanks to a responsible approach to continuous improvement that we have been building on for many years.”
