The B! Pact, our positive impact platform
At Bonduelle, we are convinced that plant-rich food is a sustainable solution for feeding a healthy growing population while preserving the planet and our ecosystems. We made this our mission to guide our positive-impact roadmap, the B! Pact.
To participate in the transition to a plant-rich diet, our product offering is an essential lever. We have been working on our main dish offerings, on their composition and, of course, on taste! This change in eating habits also involves a great deal of education, both internally and externally, to create more opportunities to eat more plant-based foods.
With regard to the “Planet” pillar, we have launched our roadmap to carbon neutrality by involving our value chain. From farmers to distributors, we are helping to spread more responsible practices: over 58% of our partner farmers have already committed to the regenerative agriculture approach alongside us!
Having a positive impact only makes sense if that impact also also benefits our internal and external stakeholders. 95% of our sites have developed projects with their local communities.
Becoming a B Corp
We are very proud that 80% of our operations have achieved B Corp certification.
In line with our stated ambition since 2018, we are moving closer to our goal of certifying the entire Bonduelle Group by 2025.
Indeed, after the United States and Italy last year, new Bonduelle entities in France (long life and fresh), the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Germany and also Champiland, have obtained B Corp certification, marking an important milestone in the implementation of our positive impact roadmap.
These new milestones reinforce our commitment to high social and environmental standards.
This is a great recognition that encourages us to continue our progress.
