TRANSFORMATION AND DIGITALIZATION

TECH FOR GOOD: POWERING THE FOOD TRANSITION

At Bel, innovation is a powerful lever if we want to offer responsible and sustainable food to a global population of 10 billion by 2050. Digitalization accelerates these transformations: it enables the creation of products aligned with diverse consumption patterns and helps meet tomorrow’s challenges. From recipe design to industrial processes and logistics, we are digitizing our value chain. This ambitious approach is changing the game in the food industry.

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS DRIVING RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION

At Bel, we have always believed in going beyond borders to offer more sustainable, innovative, and accessible food for everyone. The Group has partnered with Dassault Systèmes and Accenture to support the transformation of the food industry toward a more sustainable (enduring) model.
  • The partnership with Dassault Systèmes, signed in December 2024, focuses on software development and creating a digital twin for RID.
  • Our collaboration with Accenture, announced in June 2025, implements and accelerates our comprehensive digitalization plan. Specifically, Accenture supports us in integrating Dassault Systèmes’ 3D Experience software, digitizing other parts of our business, and managing this end-to-end transformation across all functions.

COMPREHENSIVE DIGITALIZATION

Supported by artificial intelligence, the digitalization plan aims to:

  • Accelerate pioneering food innovations and eco-design of packaging to meet tomorrow’s challenges.
  • Strengthen the efficiency and sustainability of manufacturing processes while ensuring consistent quality across all locations, through the deployment of a common Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in 11 Bel factories worldwide to optimize our operations.
  • Improve logistics and supply chains by using AI-based planning solutions to better manage inventory, anticipate demand, and adjust production to consumer needs.
  • Speed up time-to-market by enhancing data management capabilities to gain real-time visibility at every stage of product development, enabling faster launches.

A TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION WITH ALL OUR TEAMS

Accenture also supports us in strengthening and developing team skills by implementing a global program management framework to oversee strategic initiatives, encourage cross-functional collaboration, and roll out a dedicated learning and skills development program for our teams.

By harnessing innovative technologies, end-to-end digitalization, and the strength of our teams, we’re building a more sustainable and agile model to meet the challenges of tomorrow’s food industry.

"This initiative goes far beyond modernizing our operations. It carries a story of impact. We will develop a more modern supply chain, optimize our logistics flows and expand responsible practices, while eventually incorporating technologies such as AI to reduce time to market and drive productivity. Accenture will be a strategic digital partner and co-pilot of Bel’s technological transformation across all teams."
