Our values & missions
ARVALIS relies on four main values
Our values
ARVALIS is committed to strengthening the cohesion of its staff members around shared values. This is a determining factor in carrying out the Institute's missions and achieving the objectives set by its Steering Committee.
To meet these challenges, the women and men of ARVALIS are united and rely on the common values that have made and will make the Institute successful:
- Methodological excellence
ARVALIS was founded in order to produce and transfer information, tools, and services validated by indisputable references.
This leads to a continuous review of the methods used on a daily basis. It also enables the Institute to stay ahead of the game, by being identified as a reference in terms of methodology, whether for field research (microplots or farmer's plots) or laboratory work, studies and surveys... - A sense of service
ARVALIS works for farmers and all agricultural actors. The Institute's staff members work with them daily to carry out shared research and development activities. - Team spirit
ARVALIS comprises a group of employees with diverse and complementary profiles and activities. The Institute’ organization makes it possible to make the most of these talents and to federate internal skills for the benefit of common and transdisciplinary projects. - Boldness
ARVALIS is often a pioneer in its fields of expertise. Employees are driven by a desire to undertake and innovate, with ingenuity, in order to find creative solutions to the Institute's challenges.
