In the face of global challenges around climate, nutrition, and sustainable development, Alland & Robert – a French pioneer in the field of natural gums – has officially partnered with The Shift Project, a leading non-profit think tank focused on the post-carbon economy. The goal of this collaboration is to jointly research and shape the future of nutrition by 2050, where human health and planetary responsibility go hand in hand.
Why is this a strategic move?
- CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) & Sustainability: Alland & Robert has long been committed to corporate social responsibility, focusing on natural, safe, and environmentally friendly ingredients.
- “Eating in 2050” Research: This new project aims to forecast consumer trends, nutritional needs, and carbon reduction solutions in the food industry.
- Shift Club Membership: Joining this network allows Alland & Robert to connect with pioneering companies, share solutions, and collectively build a sustainable food sector.
Impact on the food & nutrition industry
This partnership not only reinforces Alland & Robert’s leadership in gum arabic and natural ingredients, but also opens opportunities to:
- Shape future nutrition trends: combining health, taste, and environmental responsibility.
- Support local farming communities: developing transparent, fair, and sustainable supply chains.
- Reduce carbon footprint: moving toward a low-emission food industry that respects ecosystems.
Message from Alland & Robert
“We believe the future of nutrition is not only about providing high-quality ingredients, but also about creating sustainable value for society and the planet. Partnering with The Shift Project is a testament to that commitment.”
Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, Alland & Robert will continue to lead by combining natural ingredients, advanced technology, and social responsibility to deliver sustainable nutrition solutions. This is an open invitation to partners to join us in building a food and beverage industry that is greener, healthier, and more sustainable.
