Our meticulous R&I efforts, commitment to excellence, and ambition to become Net Positive are the cornerstones of our product development strategy, which is continuously refined through the evolution of methodologies, collaborations, and practices under the “R-I-D-A approach” and within an Open Innovation framework.

Our Innovation Framework

Our innovation framework is currently focusing on 4 innovation platforms:

  1. Added-value fats and oils by exploring alternative hard stock fat sources.
  2. Added-value proteins through the substitution of animal-derived ingredients with plant-based or bio-based alternatives.
  3. Added-value carbohydrates by seeking replacements for sugars to maintain sweetness and functionality while preserving taste.
  4. Added-value ingredients by opting for natural origin substitutes over additives and synthetic components.

These 4 innovation platforms allow us to develop new added-value solutions to meet customer demands especially when it comes to 4 of the major trends in food: Health & Nutrition; Cleaner & Leaner; Sustainability; and Indulgence.
