Olvea has published OlveAct Now, its first corporate social responsibility performance report.
Olvea took the decision to develop its supply chains directly in the native countries of the raw material, in order to participate in their development and reduce the carbon footprint of its productions. The last two plants the group built, one in Burkina Faso for the shea butter production in 2016, and the other in Normandy for the oils eco-refining in 2018, were designed to have the lowest possible environmental impact.
Since 2018, Olvea has formalised its corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach, with dedicated leading employees, through a policy and an action plan, and accompanied by quantifiable goals with the horizon of Olvea’s 100th anniversary in 2029.
The company has recently released OlveAct Now. This CSR performance report lists all of the group's CSR actions, initiatives and commitments, linked to the sustainable development goals (SDG) of the United Nations, of which OLVEA has been a Global Compact signatory since 2015.
The report is based on the company’s six CSR policy ‘themes’. These include governance, working conditions, environment and economic performance. The full report can be read here.
