Homepage Our commitments NAVIGATION 1. Quality is at the core of our profession 2. Sustainable development, a collective responsibility 3. Innovation, the motor for our growth 4. Partnership, an approach that makes sense 5. Discover our activities Quality is at the core of our profession Our approach for quality in animal nutrition and plant production UFAB’s strategy has always been an approach with the customer at its core, whilst considering the food quality and safety requirements as opportunities. Reinforced by our customers expectations, we made the commitment to ensure – due to the sanitary quality of our products- a real difference, whilst guaranteeing the effectiveness of our products and services, and therefore our clients’ satisfaction. Previous Standards, labels and certification RCNA certification: Reference for the Certification of Animal Nutrition based on food safety management, best practice, the production processes and client satisfaction. Organic certification Audit for supplier referencing UFAB has made risk management its major priority. This is why our suppliers are subjected to a referencing audit. When we import merchandise, we instruct a surveillance company to take samples of the raw materials and to have them analysed in a certified laboratory. Next Sustainable development, a collective responsibility A pioneer in French organic agriculture, UFAB is motivated by a global approach to sustainable development. As far as we’re concerned, rather than a commitment, it is a real responsibility. We are also convinced that a philosophy of continuous progress and improvement can only be beneficial. Putting mankind at the centre of our commitments UFAB puts people at the heart of its commitments, as part of its responsibility as an employer to the way in which it treats its employees, but also its societal responsibility towards consumers. We pay attention to the way in which we behave, as we want to be responsible with a real ethic of respect and progress. Integrating an environmental dimension into our acts Alongside the Le Gouessant group we have established an integrated approach for analysing and reducing our impact for every environmental aspect : water, waste, a circular economy, fighting against food wastage, energy, greenhouse gases, climate change, biodiversity and the countryside. Acting for balanced territorial development UFAB is anchored in its territory that covers Brittany, the Pays de la Loire and Normandy. Actions in multiple forms are undertaken on a daily basis in order for it to develop a modern sustainable agriculture. This commitment is undertaken with the collaboration of the region’s stakeholders and integrates a dimension for local life, thus reinforcing our local values. Previous Fair Trade soya As it is based on the triptych, economy, environment and social, Fair Trade is an initiative in which UFAB firmly believes. Because of this we created an organic soya network in Burkinabè in 2014 that was later given the label “Fair for Life”, in partnership with the associations Napam Beogo and Ingalan. Energy consumption Energetic efficiency was one of the guiding principles in the construction of our collections silo based at Châteaubourg (35) : total LED lighting, translucent panels that let in daylight, the choice of equipment with low energy requirements… Equally, improvements within our feed mill have enabled our energy consumption to be reduced by 1 kWh per tonne of feed manufactured in 2 years. Management of organic waste The waste generated by our activities is largely plant based, and obtained from cleaning cereals, oilseeds and protein grains. It is sent for methanisation, generating manure and renewable energy. Next Innovation, the motor for our growth At UFAB we are encouraging a can-do attitude in order to help create a modern and efficient agriculture. The agronomic, zootechnical, industrial and even environmental challenges have always acted as motors for innovation and differentiation. This is the main reason why we are always testing new livestock rations, new cereal varieties, and new equipment for our industrial processes… This initiative enables us to anticipate mutations, and to meet the latest expectations of our clients and consumers. Previous Remote detection of Datura In partnership with TELESPAZIO France, UFAB has put a system into place for the remote detection of datura in sarrasin. The use of a drone to fly over the fields was a first in France. It enabled the datura plants to be geo-localised in order for them to be pulled out before harvest, and therefore preventing the harvest from being contaminated. Organic oilseed rape trials In order to diversify crop rotations and provide new outlets for farmers, we are working on the organic oilseed rape crop. As a partner in the Secolbio project, UFAB has set up a series of trials in order to obtain new information concerning this particular crop, which is quite rare in France, in order to create new growing programs for the future : sowing density, fertilisation, companion plants… Next Partnership, an approach that makes sense UFAB is making use of an institutional and associative partnership initiative. This concerted approach is aimed at ensuring the coherence of our work to help develop the organic sector.
