B Corp certificated

New - La Certification B Corp :

Our BCorp certification recognises our commitment to upholding our social and environmental responsibilities. This certification, where we are designated a “Benefit Corporation”, represents the most exacting standards for evaluating the social and environmental impacts of a business.

The certification is based on a detailed evaluation of the global impacts of the organisation based on 5 categories: governance, workers, the environment, community and customers. In France, the BCorp certification is rare, currently limited to just 300 organisations.

Following our recent assessment, HUSO is sitting at a score of 95.1 out of 200, evidence of our active engagement in, and commitment to, continuous improvement. This approach goes to the very heart of the values of Caviar de Neuvic, which is a pioneer in its field.

As such, Caviar de Neuvic is not only the first fish-raising farm in France to be certified BCorp, but also the first caviar producer in the world to achieve this recognition.

Our objective is not to be the best business in the world but the best business for the world.

RESPECT

The Domaine de Caviar de Neuvic is a precious environment located between the Isle River and a century-old forest. It stands out for its ecological and ecosystem-friendly approach. The water from the ponds is recycled and returns to the river after treatment. Caviar de Neuvic raises its sturgeons in ponds fed by the Isle, with particular attention to preserving their fragile life cycle. The females are fed organic food without GMOs or processed animal proteins. The Domaine engages in research to improve egg collection methods. The sturgeon, an endangered species, is protected by the Washington Convention, and the Domaine actively supports the WSCS Association (World Sturgeon Conservation Society) to its preservation and global repopulation. Your support of WSCS is essential to this noble mission.

INNOVATION

We use innovation to realize our commitment to production that is more respectful of the environment and fish welfare. Our company has 4 agricultural engineers on permanent contracts, as well as a department specially dedicated to fisheries research and another to research and development in the agri-food sector. Since 2017, Bpi France has recognized us as a member of #TeamExcellence, which demonstrates our excellence in innovation.

CSR: our commitment as Mission-driven Companies

CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)

The history of caviar and the severe depletion of the sturgeon species in the wild is a lesson for modern fish-raising farming practices and calls for the highest standards of responsible behaviour.

Committed since the beginning to environmental sustainability, our formal BCorp commitment is a new step of recognition for our innovative business, contributing to societal good as we take into daily account our mutual interest in protecting the planet.

Mission-driven Companies (Entreprise à mission)

French law (“la Loi Pacte”) introduced the concept of “Mission-driven companies” in relation to the growth and transformation of companies in France.

This law allows a company to publicly state its mission and purpose, as well as other social and environmental objectives that the company has undertaken to pursue in its operations.
