Who they are

Solarec is a major player in the Belgian dairy industry, based in the heart of the Ardennes, with production sites in Recogne and Baudour. Backed by the Laiterie des Ardennes cooperative, the company processes milk collected from its producers into milk powder, butter, UHT milk and mozzarella, distributed across five continents. This cooperative foundation, combined with high quality standards, places reliability and responsibility at the heart of Solarec's model.

How we structured their ESG approach

Solarec turned to ESGlogic to structure its sustainability approach across several complementary areas. The engagement began with the company's carbon footprint, measuring emissions from its activities across all relevant scopes. This diagnostic identified the most significant emission sources and established a quantified baseline for the rest of the process. In parallel, Solarec's EcoVadis platform was analysed item by item, to identify room for improvement across each of the four themes assessed, environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. This analysis led to a concrete, prioritised and realistic action plan aimed at improving the company's score in future assessments. Finally, an awareness and corruption risk mapping workshop was run for the relevant teams, with a dual objective, raising employees' awareness of business ethics issues and collectively identifying risk areas specific to Solarec's activity, in order to prioritise them.
