Sustainable Development
We want to be part of positive change
Conscious of new societal and environmental challenges, we have chosen to focus our strategy on SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT over the past few decades. We have drawn up precise objectives, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and have seen the benefits of our actions year on year.
As pioneers in eco-design, our philosophy is simple… do better with less We work in concertation with our suppliers on an ongoing basis to find lasting solutions to improve all elements of our packaging – bottles, cartons, Bag in Box, and pallets.
We have pledged to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions in the battle against climate change, and have adopted environmentally sound practices to protect our region, its people, and our business. The well-being of our employees and the positive impact of our activities are priorities for us, and we intend to pursue our efforts over the coming years.
Our initiative is a reflection of our cooperative identity, and carries our values within the wider societal and environmental context.
We believe in exemplarity, and meaningful actions, in order to lead by example.
We have already undertaken a carbon audit of our group headquarters.
