Our commitments
Give access to healthier and more sustainable food for all
At Bel, we want to help build the food model of tomorrow while having.a positive impact on our environment and those around us. To do this, we combine responsibility and profitability and are constantly innovating to build positive brands and a variety of products that are accessible to as many people as possible. This is the meaning of our mission: give access to healthier and more sustainable food for all.
We are determined to meet the challenges we face, for and with our entire ecosystem, from farm to fork by the 5 challenges below.
Promoting sustainable and regenerative agriculture
Soil erosion, water stress, and the carbon impact of livestock farming are all challenges for the agricultural sector. Agriculture accounts for nearly a third of global carbon emissions. That said, it is essential to ensure that food resources are available in sufficient quality and quantity to feed more than 10 billion people by 2050.
Contributing to healthier and more sustainable food
At Bel, we’ve made healthier and more sustainable food for all the heart of our corporate mission. Offering portioned products, our speciality, fully contributes to this mission: it is what allows us to offer our consumers the right dose, both from a quantitative and nutritional point of view.
Fighting for the planet
In February 2022, the Bel Group announced that it was stepping up its carbon reduction target to help limit global warming to below +1.5°C.
Designing sustainable portions
The individual portion is at the heart of the Bel model and serves our mission: to give access to healthier and more sustainable food for all. It makes products more accessible, provides the right nutritional amount and helps avoid food waste. It also means that we, at Bel, have a responsibility to implement a committed and innovative packaging management policy at every stage of our products’ life.
Improving the accessibility of its products
Since its creation, the individual portion has been at the heart of the Bel model and contributes to the accessibility of our products. Because we are committed to providing a healthier and more responsible diet for all, we want our portioned products to allow everyone to enjoy healthy and balanced snacks that can be easily transported and consumed in the right amount, at home or on-the-go.
