What is established and what is not

No researcher review has been written for this company yet. 21 official records from 15 official sources are on file. 4 other entries are not official records: our own technical checks and searches, open directory listings, our inferences or the company's own statements. Everything is listed below with its evidence type: each entry confirms only what it literally says; none of them is a review. The trading role above rests on the official records listed below, and only as far as each literally goes. Nothing here confirms manufacturing or ownership beyond what each record literally says.

Facts on file, each with its evidence type

• Website domain registered (record type: domain-registered) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] Shows how long this web address has been registered. That is the age of the domain, not of the company: a domain can change owners. checked 2026-08-20. Domain registry record
• No match found on the sanctions lists we checked (record type: sanctions-clear) [our own observation, not an official record; name search, no matching candidate] We searched the public sanctions datasets and found no matching candidate. A name search is not full compliance screening. checked 2026-08-16. OpenSanctions
• No match found in the debarment registers we checked (record type: debarment-clear) [our own observation, not an official record; name search, no matching candidate] We searched the public debarment datasets and found no matching candidate. Absence from these lists is a search result, not a certificate. checked 2026-08-16. OpenSanctions
• Certifications verified (record type: certs-verified) [official record; status green] Certificates were matched against the issuing register. checked 2026-09-07. Agence Bio, registre officiel des operateurs bio (open data)
• On the company register (record type: registered-since) [official record; status green] On the company register since 1900.

• First recorded on the web archive (record type: web-presence-since) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] The company website was already online in 2000. Shows a web archive saw a page at this address on that date. It does not show who ran the site then. checked 2026-08-21. Internet Archive (Wayback)
• An environmental inspector visited the plant, on the official record (record type: facility-inspected) [official record; status green] Inspected 2025-11-24. An inspector came to the site on that date, so the site existed then and was not only licensed on paper. The visit itself does not show what was being made there. checked 2026-10-13. Georisques, French register of classified installations (ICPE)
• Authorised Economic Operator in the EU customs register (record type: aeo-certified) [official record; status green] Customs granted trusted-trader status after auditing its procedures. checked 2026-08-30. EU AEO register (European Commission)

Cet établissement est présent sur la plateforme de pomacle Bazancourt (51). (record type: facility-activity-described) [official record; status green] The inspection report describes the site: La société Givaudan a pour activité le développement d'ingrédients actifs pour la cosmétique à partir de végétaux, de micro-organismes et de micro-algues. Cet établissement est présent sur la plateforme de pomacle Bazancourt (51).. A state inspector wrote this after standing on the site, so it describes what the plant actually does, not what its own website claims. checked 2026-10-13. Georisques, French register of classified installations (ICPE)
• EU customs identifier (EORI) active (record type: export-registered-eori) [official record; status green] An EORI number identifies the company to EU customs for imports, exports and transit.

• inspection-follow-up (record type: inspection-follow-up) [official record; status amber] Inspection 2025-11-24: 7 control points, 2 with follow-up: Analyse Méthodique des Risques: proposed Demande d'action corrective (request for corrective action), 3 mois; Produits de décomposition: proposed Demande de justificatif à l'exploitant (request to the operator for supporting documents), 6 mois. The inspector checked each regulatory point and wrote down which ones need a follow-up. A request for documents is an open question, not a proven breach; the report does not say how it was resolved later. checked 2026-10-13. Georisques, French register of classified installations (ICPE)

• Operating permit for the production site (record type: operating-permit) [official record; status green] Shows an authority issued a permit for an installation at this site for the activity named in the record.

• Named directors on file (record type: directors-on-file) [official record; status green] 2 directors on file. The register names the people who run the company, so there is someone answerable if something goes wrong. checked 2026-07-09. INSEE Sirene (annuaire-entreprises)
