Cauvin is committed
Company
A committed and responsible SME
The first company in the sector to be awarded PME+ (SME+) certification in 2016, the Cauvin Oil Mill sees this as recognition and validation of its approach as an eco-responsible entrepreneur and its commitment to corporate citizenship and respect for its employees, suppliers, customers and consumers.
Launched by the FEEF (Federation of French Entrepreneurs and Enterprises), the PME+ certificate aims to:
- Promote French SMEs while helping to maintain local employment
- Affirm the manager’s involvement in CSR and sustainable development issues
- Drive competitive differentiation of the company’s products
- Safeguard distributors in selecting suppliers
- Guarantee the consumer an eco-responsible purchase, thanks to the demanding audit carried out by the independent body ECOCERT Environment
Il ne s’agit pas d’un nouveau label produit, mais d’un label d’entreprise française. Il agit de façon interactive pour créer un véritable cercle vertueux Entreprise/Distributeur/Consommateur.
Cauvin s’engage pour la RSE (responsabilité sociétale des entreprises) avec Evelyne Buthion comme responsable.

HACCP
What does HACCP stand for?
HACCP means Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point système d’analyse des dangers et points critiques.
This method was developed by NASA and originally used in setting up the Apollo space programme.
HACCP procedures are designed to eliminate and prevent as far as possible the risks of biological and chemical hazards. The allergen risk in particular is specifically analysed for all manufacturing processes.
The method therefore makes it possible to have control and greater vigilance over the main stages where there could be a risk of contamination.
