Strategy

A sustainable growth with a positive impact

In view of the major social and environmental challenges facing society and the planet, we are convinced that plant-based food is THE solution to ensuring the well-being of 9 billion human beings while at the same time preserving the Earth’s resources.

Our true conviction is that plant-based food is our future.

Our nature

We have strengths to inspire the transition to plant-rich food! The strengths of a family-owned group, firmly rooted in the land for nearly 170 years, that has been able to innovate and organize itself to grow across the world without losing sight of its mission.

At Bonduelle, we have been rooted in the land for nearly 170 years. Committed from field to plate, we offer 100% plant-based solutions through our brands, with responsible supplies. We have opted for short ingredient lists and natural preservation processes, to produce products that are as “nature” as possible.

At Bonduelle, innovation is in our DNA. 6.6% of our sales are generated by innovations. From the first canned food to the first frozen food, from the first product ranges free from pesticide residues to fresh organic salads, from the eco-design of recyclable or reusable packaging to the implementation of solutions for more responsible farming, our history is littered with innovative advances that always serve a changing world and respond to new societal challenges.

At Bonduelle, we grow our vegetables and pulses all over the world, where we sell them. We supply plant-based food in nearly 100 countries on three continents. Our 40 agro-industrial sites are located near our farmers’ fields, and our products are sold as close as possible to where they are manufactured. This is the best way to preserve the planet and the freshness of products.

Created by Louis Lesaffre and Louis Bonduelle in 1853, Bonduelle has since remained a family-owned company that has always favored a model based on proximity and sharing. Xavier Unkovic, the Group’s current CEO, represents the eighth generation and the shareholding structure is characterized by a strong family presence. This guarantees a long-term vision and ensures stability and continuity.
