CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)
An engaged cooperative for a sustainable development
Our cooperative’s mission is to showcase the cow’s and goat’s milk of our producers. We achieve this through the preservation of traditional know-how , expertise which is passed on from generation to generation, enabling our artisans to create high-quality and prestigious products, contributing to also put our region and its assets on the map.
Our aim is to maintain our status of independent cooperative and to ensure that local producers and employees are paid in line with the excellent quality of our products.
With this aim in mind, since 2019, our cooperative has been committed to a CSR policy which now provides the key structure for our developments. Our approach is based on the aim of continuous improvement, listening to feedback and input from our stakeholders. After a self-diagnosis process, we established a progress action plan based on the seven core subjects of ISO 26000, the reference standard in relation to CSR, in order to ensure that our actions align with our stakeholders’ expectations and requirements. Governance, the environment, local development, respect of human rights, working conditions and relations, client relations, and loyalty are all central factors that we value in our considerations and processes.
We want to assert our drive to move towards a sustainable future which respects our history and the various stakeholders associated with our business. It is extremely important to us that this CSR approach also preserves our quality commitments and our company motto, ” the tradition of excellence since 1893 “.
A sustainable and structuring approach in our cooperative’s livestock farms
Our approach is structured around quality guidelines which we, along with our producers, have been committed to since 1997. Reducing the carbon-footprint of our livestock farms, animal well-being, our producers’ quality of life, and biodiversity are all at the heart of our work.
