Mérieux NutriSciences, a central role in Sustainable Food Systems
A sustainable food system delivers food security and nutrition for all in such a way that the economic, social, and environmental bases to generate food security and nutrition for future generations are not compromised (FAO, 2018).
We act internally to become an ‘always more engaged company’. In particular, we make a priority of having a deep understanding of our impact on the environment and the role to play in climate change mitigation, of improving our employees’ well-being and empowerment, and acting for our surrounding communities. We also strongly believe that it is by partnering with our stakeholders upstream and downstream of our value chain that we will achieve significant improvements and create value for society.
