A COMMITTED AND ETHICAL FOOD PLAYER

Our company is highly committed to social dialogue, thus exchanging with each employee about its personal skills’ improvement and their possible evolution within the company. Chapuis Surgelés, one of our three businesses, is what we call a "disable friendly" company, with means that it employs a majority of personnel with a physical or mental handicap. As a reward for various humane actions implemented, the company was honored by the award of the most "Responsible and Ethical Company" of Charolais-Brionnais (Burgundy) region.

Local supplies are prioritized (raw materials, services…) and we pay attention to all possible transport optimizations in order to reduce distances. Our company treats its wastes thanks to independent ecofriendly waste facilities equipped with a bamboo-sanitation system, thus preserving the natural environment.

Securing food safety regulations is our first commitment (hygiene, traceability, quality control…). Moreover, we constantly adapt our products and our R&D process to new consumption trends keeping in mind dietetic balance improvements. In order to promote healthier eating, our objective is to maximize recipe changes by removing controversial substances such as: GMOs, ionized ingredients, ago dyes, "E" additives, nanoparticles, palm oil… as well as reducing salt and sugar contents. We act very rapidly upon customer’s demands while also giving helpful suggestions.

One of our key criteria in terms of suppliers’ selection is their policy towards animal well-being (such as non-caged hens…) and their overall commitment to ethical approaches.
