Prod­uct re­spon­si­bil­ity

FoodTech meets tradition

Le Patron is delighted to announce an inspiring new partnership: together with Swiss FoodTech start-up Yumame Foods, Le Patron is developing and producing plant-based foods that combine taste and sustainability. Yumame brings state-of-the-art fermentation technology and fresh innovative strength to the table, focusing on regionally grown legumes, grains and mushrooms. These natural ingredients are rich in plant-based protein, vitamins and minerals and impress with their full umami flavour – without any additives and only minimally processed. Le Patron complements these strengths with culinary experience, production expertise and direct access to retail and gastronomy. Together, they combine the best of both worlds: pioneering spirit and reliability.

En­vi­ron­men­tal re­spon­si­bil­ity

Step by step towards greater biodiversity

Labels are much more than colourful seals on packaging. They show where our raw materials come from and under what ecological and social conditions they are grown. At ORIOR, we place particular emphasis on labels that make a real contribution to biodiversity. The focus is on measures such as the protection of endangered ecosystems, the promotion of genetic diversity and sustainable practices in agriculture and aquaculture. To ensure that our standards are well-founded, we use the established platform Labelinfo.ch as a guide. This platform evaluates labels according to clear criteria and shows which certifications actually create measurable added value for biodiversity.

So­cial re­spon­si­bil­ity

Acting safely in case of fire

At Pastinella, everything recently revolved around safety: as part of a fire safety training, employees had the opportunity to practise for an emergency. After a brief introduction by the fire safety officers, everyone was allowed to try it out for themselves – from triggering the fire extinguisher to extinguishing an open flame. For many colleagues, this was their first experience of how powerful a fire extinguisher is and how important it is to keep a steady hand in an emergency. The drill not only imparted valuable knowledge, but also strengthened safety awareness in everyday life. The shared experience showed that fire safety is teamwork – and that Pastinella is prepared for emergencies.

Responsibility along the entire supply chain

The Supplier Code of Conduct defines the ORIOR Group's binding minimum standards for its supply chain. The aim is to ensure ethical, social and environmental standards along the entire value chain. ORIOR assumes responsibility for fair working conditions, the protection of human rights, and climate and environmental protection. The Code covers the areas of ethical business conduct, human and labour rights, environmental standards and governance. Suppliers are obliged to actively implement and communicate these principles and to make their business practices transparent. Through partnership-based cooperation, we aim to continuously improve and strengthen a strong, sustainable supply chain.   

Biotta team at „Tag der guten Tag“

As part of the Coop initiative „Tag der guten Tat”, Biotta bottles were quickly swapped for litter pickers in Tägerwilen to collect rubbish. Despite the rainy weather, the mood among the dedicated volunteers was great. Nature rewarded them twice over: while the rubbish was being collected, the fields rejoiced in the much-needed rain. Every year, this nationwide campaign calls on people to show solidarity and take responsibility for the environment and society.

Our commitment to the next generation

Efforts to recruit and train young people interested in the industry were further intensified in various competence centres. The aim is to inspire young talent to pursue the diverse careers available in the food industry and to provide them with qualified, future-oriented training. Casualfood was present at the Stuzubi student and training fair in Frankfurt, among other events, where it came in to contact with over 300 young people. Rapelli took part in the open day for vocational training at the Lugano-Trevano technical vocational centre, where our apprentices and training managers answered questions from interested parties. The increasing number of apprentices shows that the commitment to qualified vocational training and the enthusiasm of young talent is paying off.

Even more organic indulgence at Pastinella

For all those who appreciate conscious enjoyment, Pastinella is adding three new organic varieties to its fresh pasta range at Migros. The organic Spätzli Arrabbiata, seasoned with tomatoes and chilli, add a spicy note to the plate. Another new product is the Bio Knospe wholemeal tagliatelle: Made from valuable spelt flour, a traditional ancient grain that more and more people are appreciating for its valuable nutrients and mild, nutty flavour. Wholemeal products are not only currently in fashion, they are also rich in fibre and keep you feeling full for longer.

Added value at Frankfurt Airport

Employees of food service companies in the terminals at Frankfurt Airport benefit from reduced prices for speciality coffees – but only if they take their drink with them in a reusable cup. The result? The use of reusable cups has increased significantly in Casualfood's food concepts, as well as at the airport as a whole. This measure alone has already saved approximately 500 000 disposable cups. A success that shows how small changes can have a big impact.

Working safely at height at Le Patron

Safety is the top priority when working in Le Patron's high-bay warehouse. To minimise the risk of accidents and prepare the team as well as possible for the challenges of working at great heights, six more employees have successfully completed the one-day course on the use of “Personal protective equipment against falls from a height”. During this applied training course, which offers a combination of theoretical and practical units, the correct fitting and adjustment of safety harnesses, the safe use of lanyards, and the implementation of simple rescue measures were taught. With this targeted training, Le Patron ensures a safe working environment and takes responsibility for the people in the company.
