Maison Villevert, Entrepreneurship Differently
“Excellence is only worthwhile if it is responsible! After 25 years of controlled development, Maison Villevert – Saint Vincent combines boldness, high standards, measurable impact, and international growth while affirming a clear position: Independence gives the freedom to act, and freedom creates the obligation to be exemplary. B Corp certification recognizes the consistency of our actions as much as it obligates us. It complements an already solid foundation that includes ISO 14001 and FSSC 22000, a CSR Committed label (in progress), and commits the Group to a continuous improvement process audited every three years. Sustainable performance is a strategic requirement, not an option!”
Certified responsibility
In 2001, Maison Villevert was founded in Charente, an independent family business driven by a simple conviction:
To offer exceptional spirits from the terroirs, by controlling each step of their creation.
25 years later, the Maison Villevert – Saint Vincent SAS Group, a mission-driven company, obtains B Corp™ certification.
This certification covers the entire scope of the Group : production companies, brand houses, and distribution entities in France and internationally. It is not a strategic turning point, but the logical culmination of a model built over time.
An independent and integrated model
From the outset, the Group made the choice not to fragment its value chain.
- Creating brands,
- Mastering production facilities,
- Structuring distribution in France and internationally.
This integrated model makes it possible to take concrete action on:
- Product quality,
- The origin of raw materials,
- Agricultural practices,
- Industrial choices,
- Logistics and distribution channels,
-
Relationships with partners and teams.
Today, the Group brings together eight companies and nearly 150 employees committed to a clear mission: reinventing spirits based on their terroirs, while respecting living things and the people who shape them.
B Corp™: the culmination of 25 years of commitment
B Corp certification distinguishes companies capable of reconciling economic performance, environmental impact, social responsibility, and rigorous governance.
Over 25 years, Maison Villevert - Saint Vincent SAS has structured:
- An HR policy based on training, knowledge transfer, internal mobility, and profit-sharing.
- Enhanced social protection and a focus on inclusion and equality.
- Governance that integrates social and environmental objectives, along with a long-term entrepreneurial vision.
-
Active and committed regional involvement.
