Our values and commitments, which have guided us since the beginning
IDENA is a company made in France, supported by an independent team from the outset. It’s a desire for and a guarantee of dynamism, a fighting spirit and attentiveness to all our partners. The Group’s primary mission is to anticipate and provide long-term support for the future of plant and animal production, for the benefit of us all.
Our motivation is passion for our business: sustainable Animal Nutrition and Innovation.
Idena is a different idea of Animal Nutrition
Through our values
Independence:
We are an independent company owned by its employees, which has been the case since the beginning. In this way, independence and kindness are deeply rooted in our corporate culture.
Innovation:
We combine nutritional expertise with the creation of natural, innovative, targeted products using precise technological resources inspired by pharmaceuticals.
One Health:
Our primary mission is to ensure the technical and economic viability of the sector, whilst preserving the balance between Nature, Animals and Man and promoting respect for all living things in a sustainable way.
Through our commitment
IDENA is the brainchild of five people united by a single belief: to create and design the livestock production of tomorrow.
The agricultural sector is facing many challenges. One of the main ones is feeding a growing world population, while preserving nature, animals and societal expectations.
We have clearly positioned ourselves on these issues since the company was founded, developing strong expertise and providing viable solutions that combine productivity and animal welfare. And for several years now, the Group has been supporting crop production.
At IDENA,
our commitment is first and foremost
- RESPECT for animal welfare.
- CONTRIBUTING to the sustainability of the agricultural cycle through animal, crop and soil nutrition.
- REDUCING our environmental footprint and conserving resources.
- EXPERTISE: Idéniens’ know-how reflects the value of the company and gives it professionalism in the eyes of its partners. Our expertise in livestock farming is at the heart of our day-to-day business.
- PROXIMITY: we accompany our client partners right out into the field so that we are present throughout the process of manufacturing and rearing the product.
- ADAPTABILITY: adapting to our environment to anticipate needs, be responsive and meet the expectations of our employees and customers.
These commitments form the foundation of the IDENA Group’s CSR approach.
“The issues of our business require more than one answer, and the challenges of today and tomorrow require more than one solution.“
Our commitment at IDENA also means respecting CSR and societal expectations. To this end, IDENA has launched a CSR initiative in favour of a more sustainable world.
Our CSR approach
At the IDENA Group, Corporate Social Responsibility is an integral part of our mission and stems naturally from our values and commitments.
We are currently in the process of developing this approach. It aims to gradually structure our practices, better identify our impacts and embed our activities within a framework of continuous improvement, directly linked to our business lines and sectors.
Initially, our CSR commitments are primarily qualitative. They lay the groundwork for setting measurable targets in the coming years.
Here are the three main pillars that will guide our approach in the years ahead:
- Contribute to the sustainability of the agricultural cycle through animal, crop and soil nutrition.
- Improve production efficiency to optimise the use of resources
- Contribute to reducing emissions (of methane, CO₂, and ammonia)
- Offer alternatives to the use of chemicals
- Preserve our independence and promote our expertise in a safe, fair and attractive working environment.
- Ensure a safe and fulfilling working environment (well-being at work)
- Develop and pass on our expertise
- Share a people-focused and independent corporate culture
- Gradually reduce our environmental footprint and contribute to the conservation of resources.
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions linked to our activities
- Make our supply chains more sustainable
Our expertise
2 major areas of expertise drive the day-to-day work of IDENA’s experts, with one overarching objective: innovation and creativity at the service of the livestock industry.
With innovation at the heart of IDENA’s creation, we have structured our ideas around an intense and anticipatory ‘Research & Development’ activity in order to better respond to market needs and better manage present and future regulatory constraints.
We have built our business around fundamental areas of expertise in this field: knowledge of nutrition and the animal, and therefore a strong knowledge of zootechnics. Our IDENA experts, who all come from the world of livestock farming and spend more than half their time there, so they know the animals and their needs. Combined with our in-depth knowledge of animal nutrition and raw materials, we offer comprehensive concepts and solutions.
Our alternatives are tailored to the physiological needs of your animals, giving better zootechnical results and maximum animal comfort.
