A Responsible and Integrated Approach
At SOPHIM, our industrial model is built on full control of the value chain, from raw material to finished ingredient.
Renewable plant-based resources
We prioritize raw materials primarily derived from olive, a naturally sustainable, available and renewable biomass. This plant-based foundation is at the heart of our developments and is supported by a rigorous sourcing strategy.
Integrated Production
Our expertise is based on mastering lipid transformation processes, ensuring full traceability from the source to the final ingredient. This integrated approach enables us to guarantee consistent and reproducible quality while providing a secure supply aligned with market requirements.
Resource valorization
We optimize the use of fractions derived from the olive industry by transforming existing resources into high value-added ingredients. This approach is part of a responsible and sustainable industrial model, contributing to a more efficient use of raw materials.
Continuous improvement
Committed to a continuous improvement approach, we continuously work to optimize our energy performance. Our processes, which largely operate without water consumption, are supported by the ongoing reduction of our environmental footprint and the systematic integration of sustainability criteria into our developments.
