Co-operative, social engagement

Respect for people is a core value at Eureden, which espouses three strong values: engagement, co-operation and trust. Co-operative and social commitment is at the heart of Eureden’s strategic project. Over and above mere statements of intent, our CSR is based on the concrete engagement of all our employees and co-op members and on our tagline, #TheLandUnitesUs, and gives meaning to the Group’s strategic plans.

Embodying co-operative values

What is a cooperative?
An agricultural co-operative is a democratic organisation where farmers come together to pool their means of production, processing and marketing, with the aim of improving their competitiveness and defending their collective interests. At Eureden, each farmer-co-operator has one vote, guaranteeing equal representation and democratic management of the co-operative.

Solidarity is central to our values.

As a concrete example, the equalisation funds, to which members contribute, make it possible to deal with uncertainties linked to the climate or breeding. Another specificity of the co-operative is the redistribution of part of the net income to co-op farmers. In 2023-2024, 65% of income was returned to the co-operative’s farmers in the form of rebates and interest. Finally, in order to reconcile the issues of eating well and growing well, to recreate a connection between farmers and consumers and thus contribute to the dual food and agricultural transition, the co-operative supports farmers committed to agroecology at various levels, whether it be through the loan of equipment, specific agronomic advice, or financial support through contributions from consumers to get better value from HVE, organic or converted products.

These actions, rooted in our co-operative model, demonstrate our commitment to building sustainable agriculture that respects people and the planet, while ensuring fair pay for farmers and a better connection with consumers.

Tomorrow’s farmers: an essential challenge

One of the most important issues for the Eureden co-operative today is the renewal of generations, which is necessary to maintain the economic fabric of our territories, and employment, both in agriculture and the agri-food industry. With farmers retiring, one farm in two will change hands between now and 2030. With this in mind, Eureden is offering genuine support to help young farmers set up in business by providing financial assistance, technical advice, help with administrative formalities and training.
By doubling the budget dedicated to the installation of new farmers, Eureden wishes to commit itself to guaranteeing an income to the farmers who set up, meeting the expectations of young farmers and customers, supporting installation projects in their entirety and maintaining production in the region.

Contributing to the development of each individual

At Eureden, health, safety and well-being at work are at the heart of our approach. We have put in place a clear 0 accident policy, with updated roadmaps for each business to identify and assess specific risks and challenges. This proactive approach ensures that the health and safety of our employees remains a constant priority within the company.
At the same time, we support the personal and professional development of each of our employees and co-ops through training plans and by encouraging co-construction and cross-functionality. Eureden’s multi-site organisation offers an opportunity to truly reinvent our management methods: more cross-functional, respectful of individuals and favouring agility, while giving meaning to work. We are moving forward together, in line with Eureden’s fundamental values, to build a high-performance, sustainable company.
Eureden is committed to passing on its know-how by recruiting more than 250 work-study students every year. To welcome them in the best possible conditions, each tutor receives specific training. The aim of these sessions is to harmonise the training of our tutors in order to optimise the induction and training of our work-linked students. They also give tutors the opportunity to exchange best practice and strengthen their managerial skills.
