B Corp :
the highest level of certification
B Corp (Benefit Corporation) is an international certification issued by B Lab, an independent NGO. It recognizes companies that meet the highest standards in terms of social and environmental performance, transparency and governance.
A B Corp certification means :
- Undergoing a rigorous assessment covering over 200 criteria and 5 areas of impact: employees, community, environment, customers and governance.
- Joining a community of 9,700 companies worldwide, including only 550 in France.
- A commitment to continuously improving our long-term impact: the certification is valid for 3 years, after which a renewal is required, subject to stricter requirements.
But more importantly, it’s a human and collective adventure that involves the mobilization of all our employees, at every level of the company.
« The richness and strength of our approach comes from the power of our collective action. Employees, producers, Fruitology® experts, fruit artisans, partners… Everyone plays an essential role. Together, we can continue to progress, innovate and build a fairer, more sustainable future. »
Grégory Watine, CEO
Why join the B Corp collective ?
As a major player in the fruit sector, we are deeply attached to the Living and the ecosystems that sustain it. Our responsibility in the face of climate change is to take action to preserve Nature and support the People who cultivate it. It was this belief that inspired us to adopt the B Corp approach.
- Because it is more than just a declaration of intent: It demands proof, concrete action and measurable commitments.
- Because its high standards demand excellence: Just like we do every day… Cultivating fruit excellence is rooted in our DNA.
- Because it is a tangible expression of our mission and gives it real meaning and value: We strive for fruit and gastronomy that connect and care for the Living.

Achieving our B Corp certification is just the first step on a challenging path to increasing our impact. These are just a few examples of specific actions that have made a difference and that we intend to pursue and develop over the long term :
Promoting more sustainable farming practices
In conjunction with specialized experts, we actively support some of our fruit growers in implementing agro-ecological practices in their orchards. Between 2023 and 2025, we have launched support projects for 6 sectors :
- Internationally : Mango (India), Raspberry (Serbia), Strawberry (Poland)
- In France : White peach, pear, blackcurrant

Preserving natural resources
Contributing to the conscious use of resources is a top priority for us. To best manage our Water Conservation plan, we have created the Water Team, a group of experts responsible for steering our roadmap. Our actions and investments have already enabled us to reduce our water consumption by 27% between 2021 and 2023. Our goal for 2030 is to reduce our water consumption per kilogram produced to one quarter of our current requirements.
