OLVEA produces a wide range of vegetable oils and specialty ingredients coming from conventional, organic or fair-trade supply chains.
Our oils are produced for the cosmetic, pharmaceutical or food industries.
In order to maintain the highest standards regarding the quality, traceability and consistency of its raw materials, OLVEA has set up sustainable supply chains in Morocco, for Argan oil and in Burkina Faso, for Shea butter (TrueShea™)and Sesame oil.
OLVEA is committed in promoting sustainable development, not only environmentally, but also by adding real social and economic values to the actors of our eco-responsible supply chains.
Sustainability has always been one of OLVEA’s core values. In 2020, OLVEA published OLVEAct Now, its first CSR performance report.
“We are continually investing for the quality of our oils, the satisfaction of our customers and our commitment to sustainable development. While maintaining our family identity, we aim at developing our people and creating a safe environment for our people and the planet.”
Arnauld Daudruy, OLVEA’s President
“We are committed to apply daily the sustainable development principles while respecting local resources, and adding real social and economic values to local communities. The local transformation ofour raw materials allows us to participate in the development of these countries and reduce the carbon footprint of our productions.”
Caroline Mayaud-Daudruy, OLVEA’s Managing Director
OLVEA is one of the main actors in the sustainable production of Shea butter in Burkina Faso. As part of a partnership with L’Oréal, Entrepreneurs du Monde and Nafa Naana, OLVEA took part in the supply of improved cookstoves to women Shea producers.
OLVEA is a signatory of the #IAM_Africa charter for the development of agro-pastoral supply chains in Africa and is committed to take concrete action to preserve and restore ecosystems.
In 2019, for its fair trade Sesame seed oil supply chain (certified by Ecocert according to the Fair for Life standard), OLVEA worked with more than 3,850 sesame seed producers.
OLVEA publishes OLVEAct Now, its first corporate social responsibility performance report. The OLVEAct Now report lists all of the Group’s CSR actions, initiatives and commitments, linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations, of which OLVEA has been a Global Compact signatory since 2015.
Thanks to the Development Funds of our fair trade supply chains (FFL-certified), many community projects can emerge in the regions where we are located.
