Highlight our exhibitors' CSR initiatives

SIAL For Change is the first award contest dedicated to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) launched by SIAL Paris, working in association with the CSR consultancy Hyssop. This initiative marks a new step in the show’s commitments to promoting sustainable and socially responsible practices in the global food industry, and throughout the product and service value chain.

The award SIAL For Change aims to shine a light on and distinguish exhibiting companies that have incorporated CSR into their strategy and built their operations around sustainable practices, thereby contributing to a fairer and more human and environmentally responsible future.

Beyond competing in a contest, SIAL Paris offers participants the chance to share these outstanding initiatives and position themselves as inspiring leaders in sustainability in our industry.

The SIAL for Change awards ceremony will take place on Tuesday October 22 at 5pm on the SIAL Talks stage in Hall 5A.

Hyssop

To combine its knowledge of the food industry with the CSR expertise of an acknowledged name, SIAL is joining forces with the CSR consultancy Hyssop, tasked both with compiling the award’s specifications and assessing the entries as an independent third party.

Hyssop is not one for idle talk, and prefers pumped-up action to pompous rhetoric. In practice, Hyssop is a tight-knit team of technical experts dealing in CSR, brand strategy and responsible communication. A collective that can support companies in their sustainable transformation, globally and in alignment with their business. Hyssop currently advises companies of all sizes, from SNCF to Jeff de Bruges, and from Guerlain to the French Biodiversity Agency, all of which have a sincere desire to reduce their impact on the planet and optimise their impact on society.

Harnessing its 20 years of experience in support of initiatives that include CSR audits and action plans, responsible purchasing policies, biodiversity roadmaps, stakeholder dialogue, content platforms and internal engagement programmes, Hyssop accompanies responsible organisations in search of the best way forward.
