Promoting natural and low processed products.
Combining health, pleasure, and sustainability by facilitating changes in behavior.
Three levers
for action
To introduce #PositiveFood to its customers and consumers, Savencia develops a positive vision of food, promotes natural healthy and low processed products, and acts on three levers.
1.
Improve the nutritional quality and design of our products
By highlighting the natural nutritional assets of our products
Tolle Rolle Milkana

“A 100% natural little cheese, and rich in calcium”, Tolle Rolle, from the German brand Milkana, is a cheese which nutritional profile follows the WHO guidelines on products made for children. It is also commercialised in France under the brand name Escargolo P'tit Louis, in Slovakia under the brand name Liptov and in Romania under the brand name Delaco.

Improve the nutritional quality and design of our products
With the nutritional optimization of our brands
St Môret

In order to meet our mission « Leading the way to better food », nutritional progress plans are regularly carried out. The objective is to constantly improve our recipes by reducing salt, sugar, and fat, without sacrificing taste or deliciousness. A reduction in the salt content of St Môret has been achieved.

1.
Improve the nutritional quality and design of our products
By promoting low-processed foods
Caprice des Dieux

We are proud of the products we have always made with simple recipes, like our iconic cheese, Caprice des Dieux: “Milk, cream, a pinch of salt and that’s all!”

1.
Improve the nutritional quality and design of our products
By developing the eco-design of our packaging
Révillon

Révillon Chocolatier has launched a range of organic papillotes wrapped in a metal colored paper film. This choice of 100% recyclable bags and paper for the papillotes has enabled us to save 1,4 tonnes of plastic.

2.
Promote and support consumers for a responsible consumption
Raising awareness of the right portion of products
Caprice des Dieux

By adding nutritional labelling by portion to all our brands sold in supermarkets by 2025, we are offering consumers a better understanding of the nutritional content of our products. Some brands, such as Caprice des Dieux, also include a visual marker on the packs to show the reasonable quantity without restricting it.

2.
Promote and support consumers for a responsible consumption
By distributing tasty and balanced flexitarian recipes with vegetables

Available on our brands' social networks or on digital platforms dedicated to our cheeses such as quiveutdufromage.fr and ich-liebe-kaese.de, our #PositiveFood recipes combine pleasure, health, and sustainability. They offer well-balanced plates made up of: fruit and vegetables (50%), whole grains (25%) and protein foods (25%) such as dairy products, fish, eggs, pulses, or meat.

2.
Promote and support consumers for a responsible consumption
Raising awareness of anti-waste actions
RichesMonts

Aware of the global challenges in terms of access to food and the preservation of resources, we are taking part in the fight against food waste and are raising consumer awareness. The RichesMonts brand, on its raclette range, encourages the consumer, via a mention on the packaging, to use the rest of the products in order to avoid waste, and proposes recipes on its website.

3.
Act together
Involvement in solidarity operations
Food Banks

At Savencia, we are convinced that commitment must be collective, conducted jointly with our stakeholders. 

As a Solidarity Company of the Food Banks, we support the annual national collection of the Food Banks, organized in November, and to which many employees contribute on a voluntary basis.

3.
Act together
Development of partnerships with key players in the food chain
Qui veut du fromage

Convinced that a growing number of consumers want to combine pleasure and naturalness in their diet, #PositiveFood is integrated into our marketing and sales approach. Actions in the field or in shops, in partnership with distributors, allow us to promote “nutri-scored A and B” recipes combining cheese and vegetables, which can be found on quiveutdufromage.com. These initiatives are deployed throughout the year, with nearly 600 point-of-sale promotions.

3.
Act together
Actions with actors working for healthier and more responsible food
St Môret

We develop partnerships with the aim of acting sustainably in favor of a Positive Food transition. Since 2020, we are signatories of the Too Good To Go’s Best-By Dates pact launch in France by Too Good To Go supported by the French Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty. The St Môret brand communicates on its packaging the pictograms on the minimum durability date (MDD).
