Our challenges

For more than five years, IES Ingredients has been creating value for its clients, employees, suppliers and partners, the territories — and more broadly for Society and the planet — with a short-, medium- and long-term perspective. Its CSR strategy is presented transparently and published through the sustainability report for all stakeholders.

Preserving the environment

Aware of the major challenges linked to climate change and the urgency of responding to them, IES Ingredients is actively committed to reducing its carbon footprint and adapting to the impacts of this global crisis. The company aims for a significant reduction in its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, with the ambition of achieving Net Zero by 2045. It also plans to produce and self-consume its own renewable energy by 2030.

As part of its commitment to sustainability, IES supports its clients in developing formulas based on renewable ingredients. The company also acts to reduce waste, both at source and downstream.

Aware of the accelerating erosion of biodiversity, IES offers a range of products that contribute to preserving natural areas and supports initiatives to restore natural ecosystems, notably through programs such as 1% for the Planet, the reforestation of Allauch and Pure Ocean.
