In a landmark move towards sustainability, Intersnack, France’s leading snack manufacturer, has announced its commitment to championing environmentally-friendly practices within its operations. With over 60 years of French expertise, Intersnack boasts the distinction of being the foremost snack producer in the country, employing over 500 individuals and operating two local production facilities.
For more than a decade, Vico, a subsidiary of Intersnack, has been at the forefront of efforts to reduce its environmental footprint. Embracing a holistic approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR), Vico’s ethos revolves around its commitment to consumers, the planet, the supply chain, and its employees. This commitment is exemplified through various initiatives, including product range renovations, product innovation, maintaining local ties, and supporting its suppliers.
Recognizing the vulnerability of agriculture in the face of climate change, Vico has aligned itself with Pour une Agriculture du Vivant to support the implementation of a Sustainable Agriculture Program within France’s potato supply chain. Through the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices, the aim is to enhance resilience while simultaneously reducing agricultural environmental impact and contributing to ecosystem restoration for both local and global communities.
As part of this collaboration, the association will provide support to: 👉 Establish an engagement group involving all potato producers. 👉 Foster innovation, experimentation, and dissemination of agroecological practices. 👉 Develop opportunities through local and global partnerships. 👉 Scale up regenerative agriculture through the measurement and data provided by the Regeneration Index.
Intersnack’s decision to embrace sustainable agriculture underscores its commitment to responsible business practices and environmental stewardship. By joining forces with Pour une Agriculture du Vivant, the company reaffirms its dedication to driving positive change within the food industry, setting a precedent for others to follow in the pursuit of a more sustainable future. Welcome to the movement, Intersnack!
