Among many initiatives of our company, we are glad to share that Lallemand French bacteria production plant located in Saint-Simon, near Aurillac, has just achieved an ISO 14001 certification, thus confirming the integration of environmental concerns into its daily activities while maintaining operational imperatives.

The ISO 14001 standard defines the requirements and recommendations for the implementation of an environmental management system. For the Saint-Simon plant, this represents the recognition and validation of its environmental development plan by an international standardisation institution.

To complete its corporate social responsibility approach, the Saint-Simon plant has already received the Ecovadis label and passed the SMETA 2-pillar audit in 2024, confirming compliance with social issues such as labour standards, and employee health and safety.

In addition to producing probiotic dietary supplements intended for humans for the Health Solutions Business Unit of the Lallemand, this bacteria plant is also the place where all our wine bacteria have been produced for more than 35 years.

With our strong expertise in producing efficient selected wine bacteria, more than 30 different formulations from Oenococcus oeni and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum are annually produced in Saint-Simon for the service of winemakers around the world, offering a wide range of reliable solutions to respond to the diversity of oenological situations and wine typicity.
