Guaranteed quality and traceability
Quality, safety, and the environment are at the heart of our concerns. That's why one member of our team is 100% dedicated to these subjects, to regulatory issues and to continuous improvement.
We are committed to an HACCP approach and have a food quality range.
We carry out over 500 analyses a year. This way, we guarantee product traceability right back to the producer, and potentially to the individual plot.
SCA3P also has strong expertise in the filtration, stabilisation, and ageing of essential oils. This is complemented by blending and sensory testing.
Labels & certifications
Most of our varieties are available in organic form. We also market a Fine Lavender PDO Haute-Provence, produced in accordance with a specific set of standards.
In 2023, we obtained UEBT certification for the ethical sourcing of part of our Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil. It is produced by three of our member producers on the Valensole Plateau.
The sourcing of this iconic material, emblematic of our beautiful Provence, is carried out with respect for people and biodiversity. It is a key pillar of our CSR policy, supporting the sustainability of the sector.
We have also recently initiated steps to offer, in the future, certain essential oils certified Fair For Life. These products will come from fair and equitable sourcing.
SCA3P's commitment to CSR
Living in a constantly evolving world, we have a duty to adapt. This means actively responding to the challenges of Sustainable Development.
Our human-scale cooperative is focused on fairness, dialogue, safety, and well-being at work. Our sourcing, both local and ethical, reflects this commitment.
Moreover, we are committed to preserving biodiversity and respecting the environment. Our research efforts specifically address climate-related challenges.
We promote the implementation of more sustainable farming and commercial practices. By contributing to the enhancement of the local area, we are actively working to preserve it.
This involves supporting professional organisations and building trusted relationships with our stakeholders. All of this is part of a respectful approach focused on a better future.

Since 2023, the cooperative has been a member of UEBT.

This year, SCA3P was awarded the Ecovadis Platinium Medal, placing it among the 1% most sustainable companies assessed by the organization, with a score that is constantly improving.
