Our commitments

A world where producers and workers who are particularly disadvantaged – whatever the country they work in – are actors in their own development, deciding together on meaningful projects adapted to their local situation. Thanks to long-term partnerships, they benefit from fair remuneration and have a better overview of the opportunities for their future development.

We aspire to a world where business, through ethical, fair and respectful partnerships, is a driving force behind positive and sustainable change for people and their environment.

A world where organisations and companies are committed to establishing respectful relationships, ensuring fair working conditions and respecting the environment throughout their supply chains.
A world where consumers have a clear and transparent level of information, enabling them to make informed purchasing decisions in line with their expectations.

Resolutely human

  • Respecting human rights and guaranteeing decent working conditions
  • Improving the living conditions of workers and their families
  • Enabling producers and workers to be democratically represented and to benefit from collective bargaining capacity to develop their economic opportunities.

Ecologically responsible  

  • Committing to a responsible environmental approach, based on awareness and knowledge of the functioning of the ecosystems involved in our activities.
  • Deploying sustainable agricultural practices that respect biodiversity and the climate.

Our approach

To provide a framework within which each player can commit to making the principle of fairness a reality in its supply chain by :

1
Defining clear requirements applying to each actor in a supply chain in order to characterise fair trade and responsible supply chains
2
Guaranteeing effective control of these requirements, while offering a flexible approach capable of adapting to local contexts, cultures and traditions
3
Ensuring that consumers receive honest, truthful information about these requirements and the efforts being made to implement them.

Our impact

A different philosophy of commitment

picto-produit
Involving producer groups in the governance of the label.
The label is supported by farmers who have organised themselves collectively to build a resilient model of agriculture.
picto-equite
To re-establish the balance of power and ensure the conditions for remunerative and innovative small-scale farming.
All players commit to a minimum of 3 years, with volumes determined in advance and a remunerative price.
picto-biodiversite

Defending demanding organic farming on human-scale farms.
With specifications that go further than European AB certification, the label incorporates strict production criteria on farm size, seasonality, the use of additives, the use of natural ingredients and the use of pesticides.

picto-france
Supporting France’s agricultural heritage.
All labelled products come from farms in our regions.
