We’re proud to announce a new milestone in our sustainability journey: Georges Helfer has officially been awarded the Sustainable Market Label – Confirmed Level, presented today at the Rungis International Market.
This certification, granted following an independent audit by AFNOR Certification and delivered by SEMMARIS, the Rungis Market operator, recognizes our ongoing commitment to social responsibility, environmental preservation, and responsible governance.
A Recognized Label for Committed Market Players
The Sustainable Market Label is based on the international ISO 26000 standard and encourages wholesalers and market operators to integrate corporate social responsibility (CSR) into their business strategy and daily practices.
It is structured around 11 concrete commitments, grouped into three key pillars:
-
Responsible governance – ensuring transparency, ethics, and collective engagement.
-
Respect for people and territories – promoting employee well-being and local impact.
-
Environmental stewardship – reducing the ecological footprint of business activities.
The label is awarded following a rigorous 1,000-point evaluation, with three possible achievement levels.
Earning the “Confirmed” level reflects the maturity and strength of our CSR practices.
