Milk
A sustainable agriculture
To promote responsible purchasing and, in conjunction with our raw materials suppliers, codevelop a more sustainable sourcing with greater added value, 6 OXYGEN objectives:
- Extend the Best Farming Practices Charter to all our milk collection areas worldwide by 2025
- Deploy our “CAP”2ER” diagnostic to improve our carbon footprint.
- Audit 100% of dairy farms supplying Savencia using recognised Animal welfare standards by 2025
- Codevelop differentiated milk productions
- Responsible purchasing for the majority of our other strategic agricultural raw materials by 2025
- Develop responsible purchasing from all our other suppliers via the Group Responsible Purchasing Charter
ANIMAL WELFARE AT THE HEART OF OUR CONCERNS
Convinced of the importance of this issue, SAVENCIA Fromage & Dairy has been committed for over ten years to progressing hand-in-hand
with our partner dairy farmers.
Our global policy is based on the five fundamental freedoms of animal welfare, developed by the UK’s Farm Animal Welfare Council (FAWC).
In 2021, to reinforce and communicate our commitments more widely on a global scale, we published an Animal Welfare Charter, drawing on
the expertise of the international ONG Compassion in World Farming (CIWF).
Savencia has committed to implementing this charter across 100% of farms and training its teams in animal welfare. In this regard:
- 72% of the relevant employees were trained by the end of 2024;
- 53% of dairy farms in France and internationally have been audited.
We pay special attention to the raw materials used in our recipes.
This is why we have set ourselves a clear objective:
100% of the eggs used in the formulation of our products will come from cage-free hens by the end of 2025.
To this end, action plans have been implemented in the subsidiaries concerned, and by the end of 2024, 99.97 % of eggs came from cagefree hens. We are working internally to ensure that the 100 % target is reached on schedule.
A CLOSE AND TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR PRODUCERS
We collect the milk directly from our producers’ dairy farms, and maintain close links with all of them. In all collection areas, Savencia’s Dairy Resources teams provide day-to-day support to farmers in all procedures relating to milk quality, generational renewal and the decarbonization of farms.
Laure, Alex, and Marius open the doors to their farms and share their vision and collaboration with Savencia for more sustainable production:
How to work together for a Sustainable and Responsible Dairy Sector?
Savencia Fromage & Dairy buys and processes cow, goat and ewe milk from over 9,000 producers worldwide. France supplies 75% of the milk processed by the Group. The milk that we process is 100% of French origin, and all our factories are located near the farms.
BUILDING A COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRY TOGETHER
We are also taking action to improve the carbon footprint of our milk collection through transport.
The “Objective CO₂, Carriers Commit” label recognized Savencia’s efforts for its own fleet in 2023. In 2024, NBT, the subsidiary responsible for inter-factory transport, obtained the renewal of this same label. We are intensifying our efforts and working closely with our partner providers to go even further, thereby ensuring sustainable and responsible milk supplies.
SUPPLIERS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR PROGRESS APPROACH
As part of the Group’s CSR approach, our suppliers are invited to adhere to our Responsible Purchasing Group Charter. In addition, the social and environmental performance of the Group’s main suppliers are evaluated according to a common methodology by EcoVadis.
Several of our subsidiaries were assessed by EcoVadis and rewarded for their CSR performance :
In 2023, Corman received the Gold medal. In 2024, Modilac obtained the Silver medal and Révillon the Gold medal. In 2025, Armor Protéines received the Gold medal.
