FRANCE BEURRE
From Nord to Ariège, from Finistère to Bas-Rhin
ery day, tank trucks travel the length and breadth of the country and mountain roads in the 71 departments that make up Sodiaal's eight cooperative regions: the Nord region, Centre-Est region, Sud-Est region, Massif Central region, Sud-Ouest region, Pays de Loire region, Bretagne Est region and Bretagne Ouest region. They collect milk from the group's 13,200 producers, regardless of the farm's size or location. The trucks then deliver the milk to the group's various industrial sites located throughout France. Due to this foothold in the regions, Sodiaal plays an important role in maintaining the strong economic fabric of rural France.
Our cooperative has always managed to adapt its size to developments on a dairy market that is becoming increasingly international in its scope. Sodiaal has achieved 'critical mass' without ever moving away from its fundamental principles: democratic governance and an economy that draws on solidarity and the sharing of values. In this unique organisation, each member producer has a vote to appoint its representative. It can sign up itself and, if elected, take part in overseeing the direction the Group takes. The Group's mission is to further showcase the milk of all producers to guarantee them a market price and increase the company's profitability on an ongoing basis. To achieve this, all producers act as the driving force behind a cooperative dynamic that relies on shared values: team spirit, daring, performance orientation and customer foresight. The cooperative was born out of the producers' desire to unite their efforts. The slogan "strength in numbers" is more applicable now than ever before.
