Since 2016<\/span><\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Tereos<\/span>\u00a0has been assessed by\u00a0<\/span><\/span>EcoVadis<\/span><\/span><\/a>, an independent CSR rating organization. This platform audits around 60,000 companies that volunteer to be rated on 4 criteria each year: environment,\u00a0<\/span>labour<\/span>\u00a0& human rights, ethics and responsible purchasing.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Xavier\u00a0Huchet:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>The overall picture is positive. Over the last five years, we have gained nearly 20 ranking points, which reflects the implementation of our CSR strategy in our plants. It also reflects the successful deployment of a circular economy approach across our business, where we recover 99% of the raw materials we process. This commitment enables us to meet a twofold challenge: to limit waste and to offer as many opportunities as possible to our cooperative farmers.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The second major focus is to reduce the use of natural resources and our carbon footprint. This involves strategic investments in more energy-efficient equipment. Examples include: a gas-fired boiler in\u00a0Escaud\u0153uvres\u00a0to replace the old coal-fired one, and a pre-dryer in\u00a0Connantre\u00a0to reduce the energy consumption of dehydration units by 30 to 40%.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Xavier\u00a0<\/span>Huchet<\/span>:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>It is important that the tangible results we achieve are recognized by an independent and international organization such as\u00a0<\/span>EcoVadis<\/span>. This enhances our credibility and allows us to compare our performance with that of other companies using a recognized benchmark. We can therefore assess our position in relation to the top 4% of companies rated by the platform, and in relation to the top 2% of companies in our sector. The “Gold” rating awarded to us for the third consecutive year shows that our CSR policy is firmly anchored at the heart of the Group’s strategy.\u00a0<\/span>Tereos<\/span>\u00a0teams can be proud of this continued progress!<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em>
