OLVEA offers a wide range of pure and natural vegetable oils (COSMOS Approved, organic, upcycled or fair trade) for cosmetics and nutrition.
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 Africa:
• In Morocco, for the production of OLVE’True™ Argan oil and OLVE’True™ Hazelnut oil,
• In Burkina Faso, for the production of OLVE’True™ Shea butter and OLVE’True™ Sesame oil,
• In Kenya, for the production of OLVE’True™ Avocado oil and OLVE’True™ Macadamia 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. Since 2018, OLVEA formalizes its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach, with dedicated leading employees, through a policy and an action plan, accompanied by ambitious and quantifiable goals with the horizon of OLVEA’s 100th anniversary, in 2029.
Since 2020, OLVEA goes further by publishing annually its CSR performance report, OLVEAct Now, which is also shared with the United Nations as part of our membership to the Global Compact.
“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.”
