A new strategic dynamic

Contexa was founded on an innovation that challenged traditional dosing practices in the F&F sector.

In 2013, the invention of the COLIBRI technology, a unique simultaneous volumetric dosing method, provided a lasting revolution in fragrance and flavour manufacturing practices worldwide.

For more than 25 years, the company's approach has been guided by the value of progress, with the aim of constantly improving production tools on a number of levels, including labour intensity, performance and compactness.  
This commitment to improvement now includes a new dimension: sustainable development. While pursuing technological innovation, CONTEXA now places social and environmental innovation at the heart of its governance.
‍
As an industrial company, we are aware of our key role and are currently working on an ambitious Sustainable Transformation plan, which we will gradually unveil in the form of actions accompanied by their measurable impacts.  

Our Corporate Social Responsibility plan also applies internally. We have already implemented a number of environmental projects in the areas below, in line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
participant of the UN Global Compact

As part of this approach, in August 2024, we signed the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact, reaffirming our determination to promote responsible and ethical business practices. This commitment strengthens our resolve to create a positive impact across all our activities, working closely with our stakeholders.

our RESPONSABILITy

 "By 2050, the world will need to be carbon neutral if we are to maximise the chances of containing the average rise in temperature to +1.5°C (compared with the pre-industrial era) and thus limit extreme climate events, the consequences of which, already visible in many parts of the planet, will only increase the pressure on populations and ecosystems".

A labeled approach

For its first Ecovadis assessment, Contexa achieved Bronze status, ranking among the top 35% of companies evaluated worldwide over the past 12 months.This distinction is a tangible recognition of the strength of our CSR governance and the commitments we have already implemented.

A progress plan up to 2030
In order to effectively manage our social responsibility practices, we are pursuing a continuous improvement approach: from strong commitments in line with the United Nations' sustainable development objectives to more committed social and environmental responsibility, CONTEXA is constantly updating its roadmap and will communicate regularly on its extra-financial results.

To conduct Contexa's ambitious CSR strategy, a Director of Impact, reporting to the company's CEO, was appointed in 2024.

In order to generate a shared internal momentum around climate issues, Contexa has been organising “The Climate Fresk” workshops since March 2024. To date, more than 90% of employees have had the opportunity to participate in these fun empowering and educational sessions, which help to understand the workings, scale, and complexity of the associated societal and environmental challenges.
A long-term commitment

"In 2024, We are launching an ambitious plan to reduce our environmental footprint. Because identifying our sources of emissions is the first step toward more sustainable practices, we will start with a corporate-wide greenhouse gases evaluation our activities."
