Corporate and Cooperative Responsibility Report
How we contribute to sustainable agriculture
To contribute to sustainable agriculture, Sollio Agriculture has developed a corporate responsibility action plan based on eight commitments and 20 targeted results. Specific indicators will help us measure our impact and improve our corporate responsibility performance by 2025.
To achieve this, we have established an effective and participative governance structure. In practice, this means that we have created a multidisciplinary committee, integrated corporate responsibility into a vice-presidency, and assigned each targeted result to a member of the executive committee. A dedicated team was created to ensure the corporate responsibility strategy reporting.
