Our CSR commitment
Since 1991, the Itancia group has implemented a wide range of initiatives as part of its deep-rooted commitment to sustainable development.
With our employees and our ecosystem, we are pursuing a continuous improvement approach led by an internal sustainable committee focusing on environmental, social and economic matters.
Our commitment is manifested in real actions taken at our sites, in our range of eco-responsible solutions, and in our endowment fund, which supports projects to protect biodiversity.
Since 2011, we have performed ADEME-registered carbon accounting to measure our progress in reducing our impact.
In 2021, we had reduced our energy consumption by 69% compared to 2007. We also increased our fauna and flora species by 95% on our production sites in La Jubaudière and Valanjou (France) with the actions we took with advice from LPO France.
