Our ecosystem-oriented approach
As an active force in the food ecosystem, we have a responsibility to support and help our partners in the milk and production sector to overhaul their practices and adopt regenerative methods.
That is why we have spent several years focusing our efforts on transforming agricultural models, especially through our charter for a sustainable upstream dairy sector signed alongside WWF France and our decision to source apples from eco-responsible orchards.
Now we want to take our commitments to the next level. With a helping hand from WWF France and Earthworm Foundation, we have developed a global set of regenerative agriculture guidelines that give focus to the three key pillars of sustainable development, i.e. environmental, social and economic.
This overarching approach addresses six main objectives: preserve soil health, encourage carbon sequestration and curb emissions, improve biodiversity, increase water quality while reducing water use, scale down the use of inputs, and ensure that farms are economically viable.
We are committed to supporting farmers in migrating to more environmentally-friendly practices. With this aim in mind, we are working to incorporate the specific characteristics of each region and agricultural sector. We provide farmers with the support, resources and knowledge that they need to adopt more responsible practices with the objective of safeguarding our planet for future generations.
