WHO WE ARE

Our job is to select and source the best varieties of fruit from all over the world and transform them into fruit purées, crushes and coulis made of natural ingredients, providing precise traceability and flawless food safety.

Since 1946, we have been working in our workshops in Correze, France to preserve the original taste of carefully selected raw ingredients.

We supply our products to all gastronomy professionals, including hotels, restaurants, patisseries, bars, specialist distributors and manufacturers for sweet and savoury creations, plus drinks.

Our Story

Advocating delicious, healthy and responsible fruit

More about our mission

IS THE MISSION THAT PONTHIER HAS SET ITSELF to inspire its employees, producers, clients, and partners. The fruit processed in Ponthier’s production workshops makes a sustainable contribution to human wellbeing and nature conservation. We made this commitment because we wanted to act.

OUR COMMITMENTS

OUR COMMITMENT #1 : ORIGINAL TASTE
It is the original taste of a fruit that nature gives us if we respect it. We source exceptional, rare and exclusive fruit, harvested when ripe and processed with care as close as possible to the orchards, as quickly as possible.

OUR MISSION IS TO BRING YOU AN AUTHENTIC TASTE,
BUT THAT’S JUST THE START OF WHAT WE DO…
As we pursue new goals, we intend to honour our strongest commitments. In recent years, we’ve embarked on a journey to define our company’s core convictions,
TO MAKE PONTHIER A COMPANY WITH IMPACT.

OUR COMMITMENTS GO BEYOND TASTE

  • B Corp

    We are proud to be certified as a B Corp (Benefit Corporation) since 15 June 2023. It is internationally known as the most demanding certification. B Corp certification is a natural fit with the Mission-Led Company initiative. They both have in common the requirement of defining a company purpose in which social and environmental impact plays a strategic role.

  • Mission-Led Business Community

    We publicly affirm our purpose, as well as our social and environmental objectives: to contribute to the development of expertise and knowledge about fruit in order to preserve its original taste and enhance its benefits, to contribute to social progress within our organization and with our stakeholders, and to contribute to the reduction of the environmental impact of our activity's value chain.

  • Pure Trace

    Pure Trace® is a label created by Ponthier. PURE means guaranteeing products without pesticide residues. In 2024, 36 flavors were labeled PURE, and we are aiming for 80% of purees and crushed ranges by 2030. TRACE: means guaranteeing traceability to the producer-collector and his locality. In 2024, 38 flavors are TRACE-labeled, and we are aiming for 100% of purees and crushed ranges by 2030.

  • SBTI

    Our greenhouse gas reduction trajectory on scopes 1 and 2 is validated by SBTi, an organization encouraging companies to set decarbonization targets. The SBTi target for SMEs by 2030 is -33.6% minimum on scopes 1 and 2 (direct activities), and our aim is to achieve 66%.

  • ACT

    We are members of ACT pas à pas Agro, a group that is helping us to implement our decarbonization plan for scope 3 (indirect activity), with the aim of achieving a 16.3% reduction in our intensity by 2030.

  • Charte de la diversité

    In September 2023, we joined the 4,500 organisations that have signed the French Diversity Charter. This charter is a commitment document offered for signature to any employer who, through a proactive approach, wishes to promote diversity and go beyond the legal and regulatory framework of anti-discrimination measures.
