Bonduelle achieves B Corp™ certification worldwide

Bonduelle is committed to the belief that business can have a positive impact on the world. Their mission is to inspire consumers and support the transition to a plant-based diet, thereby contributing to the well-being of people and the health of the planet. The B Corp certification is tangible proof of this long-term commitment.

The certification is awarded to companies that deliver high levels of social and environmental performance and that balance profitability with the impact on their stakeholders – employees, communities, customers and the environment. The certification must be renewed every three years and is based on a comprehensive assessment that examines five key areas: governance, employees, communities, environment and customers. This holistic approach ensures that the company creates lasting value for all stakeholders.

The B Corp approach is an integral part of Bonduelle’s strategy. For them, obtaining the certification is not an end goal, but an important step on the path of continuous improvement. Their future goal is to continuously improve their operations and achieve an even greater positive impact.

In order to make further progress, they focus on three priority areas. In the field of sustainability, they reduce their environmental footprint through continuous innovation, from eco-design-based packaging solutions to supporting regenerative agricultural practices. In the field of social responsibility, they are committed to treating their employees fairly, supporting communities and strengthening positive impacts throughout the value chain. In the spirit of transparency and accountability, they openly communicate about their goals and results, and take responsibility towards our partners and consumers.

“For Bonduelle, promoting healthy plant-based nutrition is a mission of paramount importance. The B Corp certification clearly demonstrates our long-term commitment to responsible operations, people, transparency and positive social value creation. Worldwide, including in Hungary, we strive to build a more sustainable future with our activities”

– confirmed Zsófia Zima, HR Director of Bonduelle Central Europe Kft.

The conscious management of environmental and social impacts is one of Bonduelle’s strengths, and the B Corp certification it has obtained confirms its ambition to build a future in which business success and sustainability go hand in hand.
