Environmental:
EMISSION REDUCTION AND ENERGY TRANSITION
We are implementing a group-wide decarbonization plan focused on Scopes 1 and 2. We have begun measuring Scope 3 emissions to prioritize reduction levers across the supply chain. In addition, we have started calculating the footprint of our highest-volume products using the Manglai platform to manage and consolidate data. We prioritize efficiency and active energy management over any form of offsetting.
SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES IN OUR FACILITIES
We implement energy efficiency measures in buildings and continuously improve our operations, while ensuring responsible energy purchasing and monitoring the national electricity mix. Our waste management approach includes segregation at source, recovery, and the reduction of single-use plastics, and we work in collaboration with suppliers to improve the recyclability of packaging and materials.
LOW-IMPACT PRODUCTS
Although they do not represent the entirety of our business, we promote a line of low-impact products that includes vegetarian, organic, plant-based, vegan references and/or items with certified sustainable practices. These projects strengthen our commitment to innovate towards more responsible models.
EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT
We monitor consumption at each site, implement water-saving measures, and have begun to assess water-stress risks across the supply chain (evaluation in progress).
SUPPLY CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY GUIDE
We have developed a guide with sustainability recommendations for our suppliers and supply chain partners.
LOGISTICS OPTIMIZATION AND MOBILITY
We optimize routes and load consolidation and have launched a cross-docking project between our French and Spanish subsidiaries to reduce empty kilometers and the associated transport emissions.
RESPONSIBLE SUPPLIERS
We integrate ESG criteria into supplier selection and evaluation, fostering partnerships with cooperatives and local producers that follow strong environmental practices.
