Convinced that the future of the agri-food industry is focused on total transparency from the field to the shelf, Ingredia dairy cooperative goes further in its CSR commitments by tracking and auditing in real time its eco-responsible dairy ingredients by blockchain, a world first in the dairy sector!
Real-time digital audit, the real revolution!
In addition to complete traceability from the farm to the ingredient, Connecting Food‘s solution, dedicated to the food industry, allows you to go further by means of a real-time digital audit.
To verify that a product labelled “GMO-free”, “animal welfare friendly” or “origin of the Hauts-de-France” follows exactly these specifications, it is necessary to check with each actor that these criteria have been respected.
Thanks to the digital audit, it is now possible to trace the different stages of the process: each criterion of the specifications is verified. When written in the blockchain, these data are made immutable; it is impossible to modify the information.
Thus, at the end of the chain, the consumer has access to a promise that is kept and verified in real time, in complete transparency.
A new chapter for the ecofriendly dairy ingredients of Ingredia
In 2017, the dairy cooperative implemented its CSR policy called Via Lacta. The group was then the first in the dairy sector to collect milk from an eco-responsible specification, called “milk from grass-fed cows “, according to the following criteria:
- Cow feeding guaranteed GMO-free,
- Minimum surface area of 1500 m² accessible per cow,
- Minimum grazing period of 170 days per year per cow,
- Milk only from farms in the Hauts-de-France region,
- Minimum price set annually for committed producers and production bonus.
Defending brand’s values and making its promises verifiable by everyone is possible by mobilizing all the actors in the chain
