  • 🗯️ Engaging in advocacy + policy to drive change

“70% of consumers in France don’t trust brands anymore, they also don’t trust the retailer. The food sector is known for being very opaque. Like, you don't tell the margin. You don't tell what's going on, you don’t even know who the manufacturer is or the farmer. So we decided to be very different in that sense and say everything. And it works for us because we build that trust.”
