Values, behaviours and ethics at the heart of Adisseo’s actions

Adisseo operates in complex environments. Its values and behaviours are pillars on which the company can rely to fulfil its mission of providing the world with healthy, sustainable, affordable and quality food. Integrity is one of Adisseo’s core values and is structured and formalised in its Code of Ethics.
The Code of Ethics sets out the principles and rules of conduct that all Adisseo employees, whatever their position, undertake to respect and implement on a daily basis. It is intended to guide everyone in situations where they may feel the need to be reassured about their choices.
The company also provides employees with an alert platform to inform the company of a possible or proven breach of legal and regulatory provisions. This system allows them to make a report in complete confidentiality (concerning customers, employees, suppliers). A new mapping of Group risks was carried out in 2022, which has enabled the company to specify its means of controlling several of the risks relating to ethics. In order to raise awareness of these issues among all its employees, Adisseo provides mandatory training on compliance and ethics. This training approach is based on an analysis of the risks to which employees are potentially exposed in their jobs. Thus, in addition to a general compliance training course given to the 168 new employees joining the company in 2022, specific training on competition law and antitrust rules was given in 2022 to 468 people who could potentially face this risk. Regular communications complement these courses to raise awareness of good practices.
Adisseo considers that the success of a company is largely based on trust, not only that of its business partners and shareholders but also and
above all that of its employees.

214 people were recruited

on permanent contracts, 79 of which were new positions.

Growing and developing together

Every two years, Adisseo organises a global internal survey, “Adisseo & I”, among its employees to assess their satisfaction and commitment.
The 2022 survey, conducted at the end of the health crisis, shows a sustainable employee commitment rate (77%) that is higher than the 2020 survey (+ 1%). This very good result shows that in a totally new context generated by the Covid pandemic, Adisseo has succeeded in setting up a hybrid work organisation that integrates the new normality in work modes and organisation.
This new work organisation is the result of the adaptability and experience acquired by its employees and is a long-term solution. It harmoniously integrates the operational needs and aspirations of employees in terms of well-being and commitment to work.

The “Training & Development” and “Working Conditions & Wellbeing” categories have made further progress, demonstrating Adisseo’s ability to create long-term commitment from its employees.
At the beginning of 2024, a new “Adisseo & I” survey will help measure progress in the co-construction of a sustainable company.

Developing solidarity

Adisseo sponsors and encourages the We Care programme, which is made up of societal, collective and individual initiatives carried out by its employees. Each project aims to benefit local communities. Their implementation respects the company’s values and behaviours and leads to concrete actions on the ground.

Here are a few examples of local projects carried out in 2022.

In September 2022, Adisseo supported the Running Challenge of a French association based in the AURA region (SCA, Saip Comaplex Association). Five hundred participants took turns to run 3,660 km. This number of kilometres was converted into euros and donated to APPEL (The Philanthropic Association of Parents of Children with Leukaemia and other forms of cancer).

In October 2022, 5 teams of 4 Adisseo employees brilliantly took up the Oxfam Trailwalker challenge, walking 100 km in less than 30 hours, without a relay! In addition to being a remarkable sporting challenge, this event is an important lever to support Oxfam’s actions in favour of a more just, sustainable and united world and against inequality and poverty. Thanks to its 5 participating teams, Adisseo raised over € 10,920 for Oxfam!

Employee involvement is a strategic issue in the company’s CSR approach. Encouraging initiatives that combine employee health and well-being with international solidarity is one of the levers for achieving this.

Investing in skills development: INNOV’IA

Committed to strong growth, Innov’ia, a subsidiary of Adisseo, has shown a strong job creation dynamic.
In a sustainable approach to talent management, Innov’ia has implemented a series of measures aimed at securing its human resources needs over the long term, including:
• Signature of a partnership agreement with EIGSI, a general engineering school in La Rochelle and Casablanca. The Innov’ia teams welcome EIGSI students for internships, work-study programmes and specific industrial projects. This collaboration is in line with the company’s desire to integrate new employees from this school.
• Development of in-house training programmes:
– A programme dedicated to production and pilot operators (beginners to experienced), on all technologies used by Innov’ia and its subsidiaries.
– A programme dedicated to production support professions.
Innov’ia Academy has already trained 80 people through these programmes. 100% of learners remain after the course, with a success rate of 82.5% in the evaluations. The training evaluation questionnaire shows a satisfaction rate of 89%. Innov’ia Academy has been QUALIOPI certified since January 2022, a guarantee of the quality of its course.
