Looking back on the year 2022
A look back at a busy year for Avril’s four business areas.
Avril Oilseed Processing Industry & Renewable Energies sector, and Avril Consumer Goods
In 2022, Avril Oilseed Processing Industry & Renewable Energies sector benefited from its ability to deliver sustainable and local energy. Avril Consumer Goods saw a significant increase in customer orders in the first half of the year, with improved prices.
2022 seen by
In our oilseed processing activities, we have invested to modernize the Sète site and diversify Saipol's renewable and low-carbon energy offer. Expur has also invested in the renovation and deployment of its industrial facilities. As for the Consumer Goods segment, we have succeeded in adapting to unprecedented market variations in 2022 thanks to a strategy of broad coverage of the fats market with ever more responsible products. On the one hand, in terms of local production, in particular by strengthening our crushing capacities in France, and on the other hand, by developing products without pesticide residues and/or low GHGs, for our Lesieur seed and olive oils.

2022 seen by
For Oleon, 2022 will remain the year of records: the most successful financially, but also the most difficult in terms of the challenges encountered. Nevertheless, we were able to deliver, while continuing our strategy of innovation. Innovation dedicated to the sustainability of our products and facilities through renewable raw materials and more energy-efficient manufacturing processes. We have also accelerated our international development with the establishment of our first plant in the United States.

Avril Solutions for Agriculture
Finally, the results of Avril Solutions for Agriculture have been supported by an increase in the price of livestock products and the government’s support plan.
2022 seen by
Between epizootic diseases and soaring animal feed costs, 2022 was a real challenge for farmers. The very strong mobilization of our teams and the occasional help from the State through a resilience plan made it possible to get through this period. We have also set up the "Solutions for sustainable livestock farming" innovation platform, which is prioritizing its first actions on the issue of decarbonizing livestock farms. The aim is to provide ever better support for livestock farmers while at the same time serving our commitment to an agriculture that respects the planet.

For Operations, a year of progress and commitment
The year 2022 was primarily focused on safety and industrial performance, in a context of rapid adaptation of certain activities to cope with the consequences of the war in Ukraine.
Highlight
In terms of safety, we have made significant progress this year, thanks in particular to the commitment of our employees and managerial training. By the end of 2022, 1,500 managers had received two days of safety training. On the industrial front, we have strengthened our prevention measures, including more effective fire-fighting equipment at high-risk sites. We have also carried out a major risk analysis of 14 priority industrial sites.
