SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT POLICY

For the love
of the world

The "world" means both the land and the people who inhabit it. Our company constantly strives to offer a product of the best quality while reducing its environmental impact.

Our commitment to sustainable development

“For me, the important thing is to always move forward
and constantly improving."

“Every day, we strive to take positive, sustainable development actions that can make all the difference every day, every month, every year. We are driven by the same desire to ensure that Bio-Bon Inc. always looks to the future and is one of those companies that are bringing real, positive change to our environment and the well-being of the world. Since 2014, we have had structured sustainable development action plans. We work in collaboration with ADDERE the organization that helps us to establish these very structured action plans, which include very specific objectives. In December 2016, we received our COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT certification : «On s’engage en développement durable». To renew this certificate, we must apply with evidence demonstrating the objectives achieved for each action plan determined from one time to the next.
In order to achieve the objectives that we have set for ourselves, we are proud to put these undertakings into practice every day. It is a personal desire as well as a corporate conviction that are important to us."

Pasquale Beauvais,
Founding President and Co-owner - Bio-Bon Inc.

“Balance is essential in sustainable development."

With the various sustainable development activities that we carry out, we try to establish a balance between the three spheres: the economic sphere where we are committed to ensuring the company's healthy sustainability, the environmental sphere where we apply ourselves to respecting and caring for our planet and the social sphere where we pay considerate attention to the people we meet and with whom we work so that everyone can flourish in harmony. Encouraging the development of an approach of listening, respect and self-esteem, of co-workers and of all the individuals in the food chain: producers, suppliers, delivery drivers, distributors and, of course, consumers. This approach of respect also extends to nature, our environment and the planet. And to find this balance, it is necessary to faithfully follow sustainable development action plans every year with objectives to be achieved.

Organic

For health and the environment

Bio-Bon Inc., certified 77 % organic by Ecocert Canada

People are increasingly aware of the efforts made by companies who value “the quality of the environment”. Organic crops protect and respect the environment, the health of workers and farmers as well as the health of the planet. Opting for organic remains a free environmental choice for everyone. Bio-Bon Inc. made that choice. The standards for organic crops are strict and closely monitored. This type of crop excludes all chemical pesticides and fungicides, synthetic fertilizers, antibiotics, GMOs, polymers, and their production methods ensure soil vitality and fertility.

For Bio-Bon Inc., Organic goes without saying!

Our commitment to organic

“Our mission is to feed people!
To feed people well! "

" If you want to feed people well, feed the world well, we must do so while respecting the environment, our community, the planet… It goes without saying, it cannot be otherwise. When we choose organic, we must also respect and comply with Ecocert Canada specifications that are rigorous, but we decide to do it for our own good, for the good of the people and of our Earth. We are very sensitive to this need and we always want to support it. "
