Why Passion du Lait® ?
Passion du Lait®, Laïta's approach to corporate social responsibility launched in 2015, involves every aspect of the company's lifeblood - employees, farmers and shareholder cooperatives - in an ambitious development initiative that responds to society’s expectations.
Three areas for progress
We are proud of our cooperative roots and are collectively committed to a continuous improvement strategy focused on three areas for development:
Mobilize for
The well-being of humans and animals, which includes:
- the inclusion and development of our employees’ human capital and protection of their health, safety and well-being at work, supported by active social dialogue;
- meeting the expectations of customers and consumers in terms of being heard and obtaining satisfaction;
- food safety for safe, healthy products, transparency regarding the origin of our ingredients and nutritional commitments in favour of more responsible eating habits.
Reducing our environmental footprint by:
- combating global warming by measuring Laïta's carbon footprint upstream and downstream of our activities;
- actions promoting respect for life, including the preservation of biodiversity and avoiding pollution;
- sustainable resource management, focusing in particular on the water cycle, combating deforestation, and eco-design of products;
- developing a circular economy with responsible packaging, improved waste management and reduction in food waste.
Establishing cooperations through :
- Laïta’s commitment to farmers, enhancing the value of the work they do, upholding animal welfare and the growth and longevity of our shared project based on a philosophy of daily collaboration by our three shareholder cooperatives;
- engaging our suppliers in a responsible purchasing policy and ethical approach to work;
- contributing to the economy of the areas where our facilities are located and developing partnerships in line with our CSR commitments;
- being receptive to innovation in order to create sustainable, shared value.
Everyone committed, everyone passionate!
All these action points are being progressed either through work that’s already underway at Laïta or with new projects. In this way, Passion du Lait® supports our virtuous development to meet the ever-more demanding expectations of our stakeholders and of the French and international markets.
In 2023, Laïta wanted to measure the level of maturity of “Passion du lait®”, in order to strengthen and monitor its CSR commitments over time. After an AFNOR Certification assessment according to the "Engaged CSR" label based on the international standard ISO 26000 (social responsibility), we are proud to announce that Laïta's CSR approach has reached the "Progression" level of the Label. This French label is recognized internationally and allows you to obtain, by equivalence, the “Responsability Europe” label.
Environmental and social responsibility is not a matter for discussion, it's simply what we do. It's the actions of each individual, supported by the determination of all.
Our CSR must reflect that of our stakeholders
