Our commitments

We are proud to offer our customers quality products and services that reflect commitments and values.

The mission

Faced with a demographic explosion and environmental and societal challenges, our eating habits need to evolve. We are a small company among the giants, but our beliefs are strong: to transform / develop our activities to face the future in a sustainable and healthy way.
The company is rising to the challenges of "sustainable consumption" by developing a range of organic products and integrating them into sustainable channels, supported by certifications:
• ECOCERT (organically-farmed product),
• RSPO (for sustainable palm oil),
• ISCC (chaîne d’approvisionnement sans déforestation) et 2BSvs (biocarburants durables),
• Marine trust et Friend of the Sea® (pêche durable)

The company is also focussing its attention on high-impact societal issues:
• Meeting the oil needs of a growing population,
• Through the diversity of sourcing, meeting consumer needs by contributing to the nutritional balance of populations.

Certifications and attestations

We are convinced of the quality of our products thanks to our tools, our teams and our requirements. Checks are carried out at each stage of production. Each manufacturing cycle or reception of products is checked by the two laboratories at the factory. All goods delivered are accompanied by a certificate of analysis.

Our various certifications and attestations testify to our control of both the quality of our finished products and the supply of raw materials.

“We aim to satisfy our customers by offering them impeccable, secure and certified product quality. ”

The CSR approach

CSR, or Corporate Social Responsibility, is sustainable development applied at the company level. In the Daudruy company, this is a word that we have been using for years... Today, we are formalising this approach to strengthen and structure our commitment and our actions in favour of the living world.

The roadmap

Contrary to popular belief, industry does not necessarily mean pollution.

Our structure allows us to get involved and engage easily and quickly on different issues. We have defined four commitments which are and will be our roadmap.

QUALITY OF LIFE AT WORK

We are a stable, long-term employer, and most of our employees are on permanent contracts. We constantly maintain a quality dialogue via the employee representative and safety at work bodies. We strive to constantly improve the safety of our employees and their working environment.
