Our 2024 CSR Report highlights how, even in uncertain times, we remain committed to innovation, responsibility, and sustainable progress. It reflects our cautious optimism and our ability to make pragmatic choices, continuously improve our performance, and guide the necessary transitions.
At the heart of this journey lies the professionalism and commitment of our teams, supported by strong partnerships with our stakeholders. Together, we build trust, turn ambitions into reality, and contribute to the common good.
This year’s report showcases:
-
Governance for sustainability, fostering learning, collaboration, long-lasting relations, and education around balanced nutrition.
-
Continuous performance improvement, through new facilities, tools for sharing good practices, and audits confirming our progress.
-
Stronger connections, both inside and outside the company, combining rigor with respect, support, and protection.
Discover how these commitments are shaping a more sustainable and supportive future.
Saint-Denis-de-l’Hôtel Site
Overall score: 87/100
- Pay gap: 37/40
The pay gaps are explained in particular by the fact that the site includes the factory.
The goal will be to get closer to the full 40 points by dropping below the 2% threshold within two years.
The company is committed to maintaining pay equality at the point of hire. Pay scales remain in place to calculate a new hire’s base salary. For positions outside the pay scale, for a comparable profile, recruiters ensure an equivalent salary is set while remaining consistent with the department and the company as a whole.
Throughout employees’ careers, LSDH will ensure, through individual interviews and individual pay-rise campaigns, pay equality between women and men. The company will remain vigilant in reducing any pay gaps for the same level of responsibility, skill, professional experience and performance.
If an employee believes they are experiencing a pay gap because of their sex, they may request a meeting with the Human Resources department to have their situation reviewed.
- Individual pay-rise rate gap: 20/20
- Promotion rate gap: 15/15
Several factors can explain this gap: in particular, various departures requiring reorganisation and recruitment for forklift operator and team leader positions. As these positions stem from school and training tracks that are predominantly “male”, the promotions made have mainly benefited men.
To encourage women to pursue these career paths, and then to join us, LSDH will continue to promote these roles via social media, schools and the company website, with testimonials from female employees.
- Percentage of employees who received a pay rise in the year following their return from maternity leave: 15/15
- Number of employees of the under-represented sex among the 10 highest salaries: 0/10
The company will ensure women are represented among the 10 highest salaries. In the event of a departure or a position opening up, the company will take care to disregard candidates’ sex, focusing exclusively on performance, experience, background and interpersonal skills…
To encourage the recruitment of people of the under-represented sex at the Executive Committee (CODIR) level, the company commits to actively sourcing and interviewing candidates of the under-represented sex”

Discover the photo shoot for the 2025 Greeting Card, dedicated to our employees who changed their lives!
For more than ten years, LSDH has been building, together with its dairy farmers, a responsible and sustainable dairy sector founded on trust, transparency and concrete practices. More than 500 farmers are now supported in this approach, with regular audits, personalised action plans and ongoing dialogue.
A comprehensive approach, from field to bottle
Our commitments cover the entire chain: animal health and welfare, GMO-free feed, grazing, water and energy management, carbon emission reduction, biodiversity, training for young farmers, support for new farm start-ups, and fair pay.
Each farm is monitored against precise criteria, adapted to both societal expectations and the realities on the ground. These are facts, figures and results – not promises.
Producing differently, in tune with the living world
Our farmers practise local farming, using short supply chains where possible, and favour local resources. A growing share of our production excludes imported soy, with enhanced traceability. Our organic sector and Bleu-Blanc-Cœur initiatives are fully part of this approach.
A shared vision
Every year, LSDH supports new farmers as they set up, providing training, support, audits and ongoing dialogue. This collective effort delivers results: improved practices, reduced environmental impact, greater animal welfare and recognition for farmers.
On the ground and in our factories alike, we move in the same direction, with the same standard: doing things properly, sustainably, and with the people who are committed to it.

Sharing a sporting passion, one that plays out a little in the shadows, away from the media spotlight: that is the ambition of our greeting card.
Our employees share the passion that drives them, with sincerity, agility and humility.
May this year be a wonderful one for you and your loved ones; may it be, for each of you, the chance to reach the summit of your own Mount Olympus.
So more than ever this year: let’s open our wishes wide!
A big thank you to our models William and Paul, Stéphanie A., Laurent, Stéphanie M., Damien, Franck, Maximilien and Loïck, Aurore, Célia, Lauranne, Fany and Togo, as well as our photographer Karine Faby (M.O.F.), for whom the shoot was quite a workout too.

A Second Life for Our Jars: A Unique Project with S’glas
Near our Alsatian JFA factory, in the charming village of Lutzelbourg, the S’glas workshop partnered with us to give our 25 cl jars a new life. Specialising in turning bottles into tableware art pieces, the workshop put its artisanal know-how to work, transforming them into unique espresso cups. This exceptional project resulted in a handmade gift set, entirely made in France.
A meaningful collaboration:
At the helm of S’glas, Maya Thomas embodies the idea of reinvention herself. After a career change, she passionately turned to the art of glass. This project naturally ties in with the theme of LSDH Group’s greeting card this year: “Reinventing yourself, flourishing”, which showcases the inspiring journeys of some of our employees.
A jar that reinvents itself:
The choice to turn a jar into an espresso cup symbolically echoes the theme of our greeting card. Just as these jars find a new purpose, we celebrate, through this initiative, everyone’s ability to reinvent themselves and flourish. This project reflects both a sustainable approach and a wonderful life lesson.
Watch the video:
Discover in our video below the behind-the-scenes of this project: from the artisanal transformation of the jars to their rebirth as elegant espresso cups. A local, sustainable and creative approach that celebrates French craftsmanship.
A gift set full of meaning:
More than just an object, this set of espresso cups tells a double story: one of recycling, and one of reinvention. It embodies our vision of a world where everything – and everyone – can flourish through a second life.
Watch the video and let yourself be inspired by this wonderful human and artisanal adventure.
