Corporate Social Responsibility

We are committed to implementing a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy that is 100% aligned with our company’ purpose’s mission. We value sustainable growth at MAS Seeds, from our seeds and services to our work environment and social commitments.

Maïsadour and MAS Seeds® is certified for sustainability commitments and actions.

The certification is awarded based on criteria such as agricultural practices, production methods or the quality of the working environment. This labelling is based on the only recognised international standard for sustainable development: ISO 26 000. Maïsadour is the first agricultural cooperative in France to have established its own reference system in order to implement this certification across all of its subsidiaries. The cooperative continues to work on its sustainability activities, with the objective of achieving the ‘exemplary’ level within three years.

FNOR Certification attests that the contribution to sustainable development according to ISO 26000 within GROUPE COOPERATIF MAISADOUR has been evaluated.

We have defined four major ambitions in line with our company’s mission, and they drive all of our initiatives and underpin our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitment.

Providing an innovative and sustainable seed portfolio

  • Our researchers select robust, diversified crops that are adapted to climate variations, that secure production and farmers’ incomes and that preserve the environment.​

Creating value to ensure sustainable growth

  • MAS Seeds® creates values for regions and ensures the company’s sustainable growth by managing its resources, investments and operations in a sustainable manner.​

Cultivating a fulfilling and high-performing corporate mindset

  • We promote inclusivity and diversity within our teams, ensuring safety for all and offering training programmes for employee development.​

Strengthening our positive impact within our territories

  • We develop regenerative agricultural practices in collaboration with farmers and local stakeholders. These initiatives, combined with methods that promote energy efficiency in our factories, support sustainable seed production.​
