At PAUL we are standing up for a healthy and diverse diet, enabling us to live well together.  This is why we are determined to support our commitment to initiatives which are sustainable and responsible.  Discover some of our initiatives and how they are progressing.  

CREATING MOMENTS OF SHARING AROUND HEALTHY, GOOD QUALITY, ENJOYABLE PRODUCTS

At PAUL we are convinced that eating well is the key to living together well.  Therefore we are wholly committed to encouraging sustainable and responsible initiatives in our business.   Actions speak louder than words.  We know that this is work that needs to be built up over time from a solid foundation, which is why we prefer to talk about progress rather than results.

To achieve this, we have set up a scientific council made up of specialists in the areas of health, nutrition, animal welfare and the environment.  This committee is there to challenge us, always pushing us to go further and make even more progress.

Everyone knows PAUL, but did you know that we make our bread exclusively with French flour?  That we were amongst the first brands to sign up to Too Good to Go?   That 18% of the products we sell are vegan?  That we have been signatories to the National Nutrition Plan (PNNS – the French programme designed to improve the national diet) since 2009, as well as being among the first to replace plastic bags with recyclable paper bags – almost 15 years ago?  

                               We have so many commitments and so much progress to discover  - and to strengthen!    Read on to find out more.
