Our purpose
We, the members and employees of the Valfrance cooperative, develop solutions for sustainable agriculture at the gateway to Paris. Through our supply, collection, and seed production activities, our mission is to support the economic performance of local farmers to produce quality crops in high quantity.
As a local cooperative, we are building an attractive and unifying model of agriculture.
Through our value-added sectors, we wish to promote and foster sustainable agriculture aimed at fighting and adapting to climate change, while preserving biodiversity and soils.

Our mission committee: keeping on course
The mission committee brings together employees, farmers, and external members to enrich the approach.
It proposes actions, drives reflection, and ensures commitments are respected, without substituting itself for governance.
An Independent Third-Party Body (OTI) regularly audits our practices and certifies compliance with our commitments.
Our CSR culture
Since 2018, Valfrance has been deploying a structured and concrete CSR approach, integrated into its strategy. This dynamic is recognized by the « Engaged CSR – Exemplary level » certification issued by AFNOR.
