S . C . / We apply a structured approach
to integrating ESG criteria into our
purchasing decisions , and pay particularly
close attention to governance and
compliance issues . We ’ ve also put in place
a partner qualif ication and inspection
system that includes enhanced checking
of ownership structures , benef icial owners
and exposure to regulatory risks or
sanctions . This system is further augmented
by the use of specialist tools and direct

knowledge of partners for greater

we enter into any kind of commercial
relationship .
A . L . / We ’ re engaged with an ongoing
process of rolling out and harmonising
these processes across the Group to
guarantee their coverage and reliability ,
as well as integrating them fully into risk
and purchasing management .
A . L . / We build long - term trust - based
relationships with reliable partners . We
apply our high standards to working closely
with them in implementing continuous
improvement processes .
S . C . / Our supplier relationships are
rooted in the principles of high standards ,
What are
the principles
that guide your
collaborations
today ?
reliability and long - term responsibility .
We work with partners that are capable
of delivering on their commitments
and keeping up with changes in our
environment , particularly in terms of
environmental and compliance issues .
S . C . / We ’ re currently working on
improving the eff iciency of materials ,
reducing their environmental impact and
introducing new alternatives in a controlled
way . We prefer solutions that are robust ,
can be industrially scaled , create
long - term value and are compatible with
our operational standards . Our approach is
built in conjunction with the Roullier World
Innovation Centre around a structured
ecosystem , and is also locally specif ic
for greater relevance and applicability .
What are
your innovation
priorities ?
A . L . / We ’ re also developing projects
to integrate renewable sources
into the manufacture of our products .
For example , we ’ re currently making
greater use of byproducts , such as scallop
shells , as a partial replacement for the
calcium currently used . Other initiatives
are also underway to assess the use
of recycled mussel shells and f ish bones .
S . C . / Reducing our carbon footprint
is about more than simply choosing
the right raw materials ; it also means a
transformation around maritime shipping ,
which is how we transport a signif icant
proportion of our f lows So our approach
is to address the organisational aspects as
well as relevant technological levers We are
progressively introducing lower emission
transport solutions In 2025 nearly 20 of
the vessels we chartered offered enhanced
environmental performance largely as a
result of using variable or hybrid propulsion
systems that reduce emissions per voyage
by as much as 30 We re also working
on logistics plan eff iciency through better

scheduling of f lows , optimisation of routes
and load factors , and reduction of non -
optimised routes .
A . L . / Optimising logistics f lows is also
a major focus at Phosphea . We ’ re sharing
some of our f lows with TIMAC AGRO
including those transported by a chartered
hybrid vessel with electric propulsion
We ve also introduced a daily shuttle
service between a raw materials supplier
and our Saint Malo plant The B100 pure
biodiesel used reduces CO emissions
by around 37 tonnes per year We re actively
considering introducing a second daily
service in 2026
