Commitments

Our mission

“Inspire the transition toward a plant-rich diet to contribute to people’s well-being and planet health”.

 

Defined in this way, our mission serves as our compass. It guides our economic activity, enables us to gain a clearer vision and helps us choose where to battle and where to withdraw. It is inseparable from our corporate mission, as without economic sustainability there is no positive impact and, conversely, there is no corporate mission without a contribution to sustainability challenges. This is a very strong dual ambition that we know will create value for our entire ecosystem.

Our B! Pact approach

The B Pact

At Bonduelle, we are convinced that nature is our future. The B! Pact covers the concrete and measurable commitments made by Bonduelle to the planet, food and people. Our ambition is to increase the place of plant-rich food in everyone's diet.

#1 - Make plant-rich food affordable

For more than 170 years, vegetables have been at the heart of our expertise. Our ambition is to help everyone incorporate vegetables and plant-based foods more easily into their daily lives through products and solutions designed for a wide range of uses and consumption occasions.

#2 - Addressing Our Environmental Impacts

Natural resources and ecosystems play an essential role in agricultural production. Soil, water and biodiversity are key to the agricultural supply chains we work with.

In response to the environmental challenges facing food and agricultural systems, we work to better understand, measure and address our impacts across the value chain.

Together with our partners, we support the evolution of agricultural practices and develop solutions adapted to agronomic and environmental challenges.

#3 - Addressing Our Social and Economic Impacts

Our activities are part of a broader ecosystem that includes employees, farmers, suppliers, customers and local communities.

We work to better understand, measure and improve our social and economic impacts across our value chain, supported by defined objectives and continuous improvement plans.

Through our activities, we aim to contribute to the development of the communities and territories in which we operate.

What is B Corp certification?

"B Corp" is a certification granted to companies that set themselves non-financial social or environmental objectives and meet strict accountability and transparency criteria. Short for benefit corporation, "B Corps" seek to rethink the concept of success in business and use the company's performance to serve the public interest.

It is managed by the NGO B Lab, which certifies companies wanting to take this route. From equal pay to child labor, transparency and governance issues, the certification examines over 200 criteria. 80 points are required to be recognized as a B Corp.
