80% of the Bonduelle Group’s operations are B Corp certified
The Bonduelle Group is proud to announce that it has obtained B Corp certifications in 9 countries
After the United States and Italy last year, new Bonduelle entities in France (Long Life and Fresh), the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and Germany have obtained B Corp certification.
This means that 80% of the Bonduelle Group’s operations are now B Corp! Very few large international companies commit themselves to this demanding process. Bonduelle is an exception, demonstrating its commitment to high social and environmental standards. These achievements bring Bonduelle one step closer to its goal of certifying the entire group by 2025.
B Corp certification reflects the commitment of the companies concerned to transparency, accountability and the use of business as a force for good, in order to become not “the best in the world” but “the best for the world” every day.
B Corp evaluates the company globally across 5 key areas (governance, workers, communities, environment and customers). The entire company has been set in motion to transform itself and its operating methods.
Bonduelle joins the B Corp movement
The road to certification has profoundly changed things. All our employees have mobilized to take action and transform the company. Each positive initiative represents an important step in this transformation.
As a committed company, the Bonduelle Group’s mission places people and the preservation of the planet at the heart of its business model. In 2021, it was enshrined in the company’s articles of association, ensuring its long-term future.
Every year, Bonduelle evaluates the satisfaction and commitment of its employees. The Group has set itself the target of achieving a 75% employee engagement rate by 2025.
At Bonduelle, employees have time dedicated to civic commitment, and the goal for 2025 is to have 100% of sites involved in at least one action in their area.
Respecting ecosystems while sequestering carbon through regenerative agriculture is a progressive approach that enables sustainable production while maintaining the balance of ecosystems and promoting the regeneration of common goods such as soil, water and biodiversity.
The group aims to have 80% of farmers partners engaged in regenerative agriculture by 2030. To help its partners achieve this, Bonduelle launched the Bonduelle Farm Academy in November 2023 to meet the challenge of the lack of training in regenerative agriculture.
100% of products in the supply chain have a system that ensures precise traceability of the source and origin of all ingredients and components throughout the chain.
