To guarantee the independence, expertise and integrity of the Planet-score label over time, the brand is owned by the Solid Grounds endowment fund. It grants a licence to the mission-led company Planet-score SAS, which is responsible for its deployment on food products. 

The Fund’s complete independence from any company, industry sector or professional organisation ensures that the use of the Planet-score brand is dedicated solely to serving the public interest and promoting consumer transparency.

Planet-score labelling is one of the four pillars of the Fund’s mission. Its purpose is to rebuild trust across the entire agri-food value chain, from upstream production to downstream distribution. Consumer studies in France and across Europe consistently show that such trust is only possible when there is full independence from economic actors and public authorities.

The Fund’s work receives no public subsidies, and donations confer no rights over its activities.

This system, owned by the Fund, provides a concrete means for any stakeholder, from upstream to downstream, to engage with and act upon the sustainability challenges of the agri-food sector.

No conflict of interest

Planet-score belongs to a general interest foundation governed by independant scientifics and experts : Solid Grounds Institute. No company, Brands, or Union sits on its governance.  The foundation sets the framework and mission to conduct and support research to accelerate the ecological and social transition.

Founded by Sabine Bonnot

Sabine Bonnot has dedicated her career to driving the ecological transition in agricultural and food practices. After an initial experience in the agri-food and agrochemical industries at an international level, she committed herself more than fifteen years ago to working directly in the field, both through hands-on agricultural production and as the leader of pioneering organisations.

She served as board member and later president of a French research institute under the Ministry of Agriculture, whose mission is to accelerate this transition.

For the past four years, she has been leading Planet-score, a transparency and eco-design framework for the agri-food sector, supported by scientists, NGOs and associations. Adopted by more than 300 brands in France and abroad, Planet-score enables stakeholders across the industry to engage with sustainability issues in a nuanced and actionable way.
