—De Buyer A COMMITMENT TO MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT Special Mention

Having a positive impact on society and the environment, while contributing to the economic well-being of the region, forms the basis of de Buyer’s responsible and committed approach. To protect the Combeauté River and its fish populations, the plant has its own wastewater treatment plant. It has also placed hives near its production facilities as they are a good indicator of environmental health. This initiative also contributes to restoring the number of bees in the Vosges as well as providing the precious wax with which the inimitable B Element iron pans are coated. Longevity and Robustness are qualities that the company promotes among its customers to encourage “educated” and responsible consumption. Finally, the company supports a circular economy model. It has incorporated into the company a process for dismantling non-stick products to allow the recycling of the materials used. It contributes to the development of employee skills and promotes the concept of management “with a human face”. We are the first company in the culinary sector in France to receive the “Exemplary level of CRS commitment” label from AFNOR, for the attention paid to ensuring the well-being of our employees and the territory that hosts us, welcomes us and provides us with the precious materials we use in production.
