Industrial activity that is sustainable over time.
We believe any industrial activity must have minimal environmental impact to be sustainable over time. That is why we have the right resources in place to achieve this.
01
Animal welfare
Suitable facilities
We make sure animals experience as little stress as possible during transport and when entering our facilities.
We seek the best conditions in the stables in terms of number of animals, air quality, ambient noise, cleanliness, food and water.
Relationship with farmers
We work with approved suppliers who strictly comply with breeding standards: feeding, vaccination, cleanliness, handling and care.
To this end we run breeding programmes, selecting the breed, the type of feed and the maximum number of animals according to the available space.
Regular quality controls ensure the best quality of life for the animals and the right product.
We select animals at source and promote native breeds suited to the climate of each area.

03
Reducing environmental impact
Water use
- All our plants have a wastewater treatment plant sized so that discharges from our activity are suitable for the receiving watercourse.
- We ionise cleaning water to reduce consumption by increasing efficiency.
- We use biodegradable detergents that are compatible with our water treatment processes and respectful of the final watercourses.
Renewable energy
- We generate green electricity that partly offsets our consumption.
Packaging and waste optimisation
- We optimise packaging purchases.
- We optimise packing machines to minimise film and plastic trimmings.
- We work with recycling companies so that our inorganic waste goes to recycling points instead of landfill.
- We contribute to the Green Dot scheme.
- As a result, we hold the greenhouse gas reduction certification from Ecoembes.
Eco-efficiency in production
- We optimise our products to make the most of every animal, reducing organic waste to a minimum.
- We optimise our processes to use as little water as possible: from the design of structures, without horizontal surfaces, to meat conveyors designed for maximum cleaning efficiency and built from top-quality non-stick materials.
- Automated, parameterised lighting systems managed from a single point to avoid unnecessary consumption, with areas switched off automatically by schedule or at the end of shifts.
Sustainable growth
- Properly sized facilities with long-term growth plans.
Energy-efficiency improvements at our plants are detailed in our co-funded projects.
