Echo
Lesaffre has been committed to working with nature to build a healthier future for more than 170 years.
Beyond the growth of Lesaffre Group, our aim has always been to contribute to better nourish and protect the planet. To deliver on that, we take action with concrete engagement, both nationally and internationally.
We are present in many countries where populations face difficulties in terms of health, nutrition, food, the environment and education.
Thanks to our global presence and strong local roots, we have the proximity we need to pursue our mission and commitment to solidarity, by supporting associations working for the economic and social development of local communities.
Every year, we carry out between 50 and 60 solidarity projects around the world, representing more than 250 actions since ECHO was founded in 2019. We are proud of the strong and sincere commitment of many of our collaborators to the humanitarian values that unite us.
An integral part of Lesaffre strategy, our CSR commitments are structured around 3 pillars.

Together we can do more!
Together for the planet – Let's plant a forest!
As part of our CSR activities, our employees and their families took part in a forest planting campaign. Together with the “Świt” Hunting Club and the Wołczyn Forest District, we planted hundreds of trees, including fruit trees that provide food for animals in nearby forests. We combined care for the environment with integration and fun.
We prepared games and ecological workshops for children, and a picnic and relaxation zone for everyone.
This unique event showed how much we can achieve by working together for the good of the planet and future generations.
We share knowledge and inspire the future!
Every year, biotechnology and food science students from various universities visit our factory to learn about production processes from the inside and gain valuable knowledge.
In addition, our environmental protection specialists and PHILEO animal nutrition experts regularly visit schools to conduct workshops, sharing their experience and passion for learning. It is a great opportunity to combine theory with practice and inspire the younger generation!
Help! Inspire! Take action! – “Together with Lesaffre”
“Together with Lesaffre” is an initiative that supports local communities and promotes the idea of social responsibility. The competition is aimed at institutions, organizations, and groups operating in the Kluczbork district.
Participants submit their own projects in the areas of broadly understood social responsibility, such as helping those in need, ecology, education, and culture. The best ideas receive financial support for the implementation of activities and, very importantly, can also count on the involvement and participation of Lesaffre employees.
The implementation of these initiatives has a real impact on the life and functioning of the local community.
We have already completed five editions of the competition, in which Lesaffre, together with local partners, is creating positive change in the region.
