INTRODUCTION
Back in 1989, the first enterprise of SOUSACAMP GROUP began labouring, at Benlhevai, Vila Flor, producing, trading and distributing mushrooms.
Initially, all started as a family enterprise. After that, this enterprise began to expand aiming the vertical integration and the diversification of the business, and soon several enterprises and new mushrooms production units were born.
Presently, the Group activity includes all the processes linked to the mushrooms production: substrate production, harvest and mushrooms preparation for the fresh market and the canned one; dispatch and logistics.
All this effort made Sousacamp Group the Portuguese market leader and put it at an important place inside the Spanish market. After that, the Group entered into the French, German and Dutch market.
Having into account this internationalisation strategy, the Group created its own transport fleet in order to grant the daily delivery of fresh products near the European markets, according to the timing and the needs of the clients.
The Group supplies, mainly, the supply markets of Lisboa, Madrid, Barcelona, and others, as well as retail markets, supermarkets and hypermarkets networks. The Group soon understood the need to fully correspond to the needs of these ones offering a large variety of mushrooms and other horticultural product.
Client fidelization, as well as the entrance into new markets, were only possible because we correspond to the needs of our clients in what concerns products variety and delivery timings. We also assure that the quality of our products are in compliance with the criteria established by clients and entities such as: Clube de Produtores Sonae, Linha Vida Auchan, NOP/USDA ORGANIC (The National Organic Program – United States Department of Agriculture) and GlobalGAP (Global Good Agriculture Practices), ISO 14001, ISO 9001, and others. Under the slogan "To You, for the Nature", SOUSACAMP GROUP and its collaborators commit themselves, daily, to place their exceptional quality products near the clients, granting them the consumption of food that contributes to a healthy diet and way of life.
MISSION
The main purpose of SOUSACAMP, SA is to transform all the resources connected to production and trading of mushrooms, and other horticultural products, in wealth and sustainable development, with proper technology and superior quality, aiming the client satisfaction and contributing for the rise of the agricultural productivity, respecting the individual, the society and the environment.
VISION
To be the main mushroom producer enterprise in Europe, based upon the cooperation between all the parties – suppliers, collaborators, clients and partners -, in order to develop their activities in a salutary way, innovating and competing to satisfy all expectations and to anticipate the needs of our clients, assuring, simultaneously, the development of the collaborating parties and the accomplishment of all aims: quality, safety, sustainability, social responsibility and economic-financial growth.
OUR COMMITMENT
Client Satisfaction
• We work very hard to know and to satisfy the needs of our clients.
• We believe that innovation and quality are essential to answer the expectations of our clients, that's because we always try to anticipate them.
• We think that the satisfaction of our clients is the best way to conquer them and to create opportunities near all new clients and markets.
Social responsibility
• Our know-how must contribute to the social, economic and environmental development of the contexts and agents interacting with our enterprise.
• We promote the consumption of horticultural products and fruit, not only because this is our business, but also due to our responsibility to contribute to a healthy diet and way of life, hand in hand with the World Health Organization in this matter (Global Strategy on diet, Physical Activity and Health, 2004).
People valorisation
• For us, people have an unquestionable value, reason why we develop a working place where dialogue, training and personal and professional development plays a fundamental role.
• Skills diversity and the potential of our collaborators are valorised since they are essential to our development as organisation.
Ethics and professionalism
• Our performance is ruled by conduct rules such as respect and transparency.
• We work aiming a common purpose showing respect to distinction and diversity.
Results guidance
• We are focused in the creation of wealth and value for those working with us – suppliers, collaborators, clients -, in a participative, entrepreneurial and motivated way.
• Permanent improvement can only be possible because the ones that are part of this Group are available to learn and grow personally and professionally, in an environment where they get all the opportunities to do so.
