Our ambitions for tomorrow
In 25 years, Tolefi's assets have grown from 1 to 120 million euros, and its workforce from 5 to more than 100 people. It is the result of a logical and coherent development strategy which has transformed a family business into a powerful group. Today the Tolefi group displays reinforced ambitions in each of its 3 activities :
- Distribution : provide European retailers with responsible, quality products, with a high level of service. To do this, Tolefi intends to rely on three levers: maintaining its technological lead, constantly listening to its customers, and rigorously implementing the environmental recommendations of independent auditors. Thus, the Tolefi group continues to develop its biomass range.
- Real Estate : build in a sustainable way to meet the climate challenge, demonstrate architectural audacity, rethink ways of living with local communities.
- Finance & Investment : support forward-looking projects that are in line with the group's values.
A global CSR approach irrigates the 3 activities of the Tolefi group in a transversal way. Environmental issues, ethics and sustainable development are at the heart of all its strategic and commercial decisions.
