They do this by implementing concrete actions in their production, distribution, and organization in order to lay the groundwork for:

Protecting natural resources like cacao that are used to make their products,
Fostering growth in the countries in which operate through community programs and foundations,
Shrinking their environmental footprint and saving energy
Recovering their waste

These commitments are rooted in well-established corporate programs like the Valrhona Live Long CSR Plan

But the road ahead is long and does not only involve environmental issues.

Valrhona Selection brands collectively strive to create a culture that passes on and helps further a sharing of practices and a broader understanding of gastronomy. They support initiatives that promote professions in the culinary arts and inspire the next generations who work every day toward that vision.

Training
Social inclusion for the most disenfranchised through gastronomy

These ambitions translate into the L'École Valrhona professional training program, endorsements through world-class competitions like the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie world pastry cup and the Bocuse d'Or world chef championship, and partnerships with advocacy groups like the Paul Bocuse Foundation and the La Rose Noire Foundation that help local disadvantaged youth find jobs.

Finally, throughout the world, Valrhona Selection brands are committed to spreading this collective vision and sharing it with their employees, their partners and their customers. For this, they promote the quality of life and well-being at work through sports, health initiatives ... They are committed to developing talents through training projects, competitions ... And they give a major role to communication, sharing and exchange, in order to involve all stakeholders in their project.
