Link by GMP, our approach to sustainable development

Link by GMP - Key Visual

The integration of sustainable development principles is at the heart of Grands Moulins de Paris’s strategy. This is commonly referred to as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

We first formalized our commitments in 2018 through the A TABLE initiative for responsible food production. In 2021, the sustainability initiative of the VIVESCIA Group, to which we belong, was further strengthened with LINK.

In 2023, we are reinforcing our commitments by leveraging the Group’s foundation to implement our robust and comprehensive sustainability strategy: 

This approach translates into ambitious goals, specific metrics, and concrete projects, many of which are already underway. Driven by this momentum, we are continuing our efforts to go further and adapt our roadmap to address the environmental and societal challenges of today and tomorrow.

Three pillars of commitment

Our commitments are based on three pillars:

A Foundation for Men and Women - OUR GOALS SAFETY AND WELL-BEING AT WORK Ensuring a safe and supportive work environment by preventing psychosocial risks and strengthening our safety culture  TALENT Nurturing talent and enhancing our employees’ employability DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION Promoting equal opportunities, professional equality between women and men, diversity, and inclusion CULTURE Bringing the group culture to life

Pillar FOR THE EARTH - OUR CLIMATE GOALS: Reduce our greenhouse gas emissions across our entire scope (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) and thereby contribute to the Group’s SBTi-certified decarbonization pathway by 2030, by implementing our climate roadmap across three key areas:   Wheat: We are committed to regenerative agriculture.  Transportation: We are implementing low-emission vehicle solutions to reduce the impact of our upstream and downstream freight.  Energy: We are optimizing our energy consumption and working toward a lower-carbon energy mix by prioritizing electricity.  BIODIVERSITY Assessing our biodiversity footprint and aiming for a positive impact CIRCULAR ECONOMY Minimizing the environmental footprint of our packaging ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Promoting and ensuring compliance with the Group’s environmental charter at all our sites

A dedicated governance structure has been established to ensure that sustainability considerations are effectively integrated into our business model. It relies on operational leads who are responsible for implementing our roadmap.
