OLVEAct Now 2025: OLVEA releases its new CSR performance report
OLVEA announces the release of its new CSR performance report, OLVEAct Now. This report illustrates our commitment to People and Nature through a year of concrete actions, both in France and across all OLVEA Group subsidiaries.
A structured roadmap: Ambition 2029
As it approaches its centenary, OLVEA is pursuing its 2029 roadmap built around three core pillars: People, Product, and Planet. This vision, driven by the Executive Committee, is implemented daily by a team of twenty CSR representatives.
Tangible results in 2024
In 2024, OLVEA strengthened its commitments through key actions:
- People: 23€ are donated to our solidarity fund for every ton of oil sold. This fund supports impact projects led by our local associations, OLVEA Foundation, and contributions to the FFL Development Funds linked to our fair trade products.
2029 Goal: Maintain our commitment to local communities.
- Product: 97% of our oils come from responsible sources*, reflecting our commitment to maintaining a sustainable supply chain that respects the environment and local communities.
2029 Goal: Reach 100% of oil coming from sustainable sources.
- Planet: 20% reduction in our greenhouse gas emissions, (scope 1 & 2) compared to 2022, in line with the Paris Agreement.
2029 Goal: Achieve 50% reduction of our scope 1 & 2 CO2e emissions.
*Responsible sources: certified oils, from integrated supply chains or valorizing by-products, in line with our Responsible Purchasing Policy.
