Water 

Water resource management is a key issue for our business. 

We operate an on-site wastewater treatment plant that treats our effluents before discharge into the natural environment, in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. 

As water is an essential ingredient in the production of our products, we continue to pursue a continuous improvement approach aimed at optimizing its use. 

By 2028, compared with 2024, we have set the following objective: 

• reduce water consumption by 10% per tonne of product manufactured and packaged. 

Greenhouse Gas Emissions 

Between 2021 and 2024, greenhouse gas emissions from our Scope 1 and Scope 2 activities were reduced by 50% through various actions to reduce fossil fuel consumption and improve energy efficiency. 

We continue this reduction pathway through the monitoring of our environmental and energy indicators, with the objective of further reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with our Scope 1 and Scope 2 activities by 2038.

Waste 

Our primary focus is on reducing waste generation at source, promoting waste recovery, and limiting the impacts associated with waste management. 

Since 2019, no waste generated at our sites has been sent to landfill. 

Our objective is to maintain compacted waste volumes below 2 kg per tonne of product manufactured. 

Packaging Sorting and Recycling 

Product packaging should be sorted in accordance with the local collection guidelines applicable in each area.

Since 2024, a wholegrain mustard has complemented this PGI range.
