Owned by approximately 13,900 farmer-members representing approximately 20% of France’s total milk collection, Sodiaal is a cooperative in which the farmers themselves hold the brands they produce, including Yoplait & Liberté. The acquisition of Yoplait Liberté Canada represents the cooperative’s largest-ever international growth transaction.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Accenture served as the IT integration partner for the acquired Canadian entity, defining and implementing the optimal integration scenario for the newly consolidated business. The core of the program was deploying the SAP platform already in operation across Yoplait’s European activities into the Canadian entity, harmonizing core business processes and enabling Yoplait to operate its newly acquired Canadian business as a fully unified part of its operations.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

The June 2026 completion establishes a replicable integration model to support Sodiaal’s continued expansion—with 25% of its activities already conducted internationally across more than 40 countries, the cooperative is well positioned to accelerate that trajectory.“Acquiring Yoplait’s and Liberté’s Canadian yogurt business was the most significant step in Sodiaal’s international development to date. Executing it successfully required a partner capable of moving quickly, working across borders, and understanding the specific challenges facing our cooperative and our farmer-members, while also mastering the local specificities of the dairy markets in which we operate. Accenture delivered exactly that. The project now complete, we have the technology foundation to operate our Canadian business as a fully integrated part of the Yoplait family in the Sodiaal group and to pursue our growth ambitions with confidence,” said Myriam Riedel Kienzi, DG Yoplait International and member of Sodiaal’s Executive Committee.“The challenge of this transformation went far beyond a technology integration. The goal was to enable a strategic acquisition to quickly become a fully integrated business, operating through common processes and on a unified platform. Through combining our SAP expertise, our deep understanding of the food and beverage industry, and the close collaboration between our teams in Paris and Montreal, we helped Sodiaal build the technology foundations needed to support its international growth. This project demonstrates Accenture’s ability to support companies through their most strategic transformations, where growth, integration and value creation come together,” said Stéphanie Jandard, managing director, Consumer Goods & Services Lead for Accenture France & Belux.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.About SodiaalWe are France’s leading dairy cooperative, with more than 13,900 dairy farmer-members across 68 departments nationwide, 53 processing sites in France and one processing site in Canada.
