Strengthening our environmental policies

As part of our commitment to the circular economy, we have strengthened our environmental policies to reduce our ecological footprint and promote sustainable practices. These new measures focus on several key areas:

Waste management

We have implemented an optimized waste management system to maximize recycling and waste recovery. By introducing new sorting stations and raising awareness among our team and customers, we have significantly reduced the amount of waste sent to landfills.

Responsible purchasing

We now prioritize local suppliers and eco-friendly products to minimize our environmental impact. Our purchasing criteria include the use of recycled materials, a low carbon footprint, and recognized environmental certifications.

Eco-design

Our facilities and services are being redesigned to incorporate eco-design principles. We focus on solutions that reduce energy and resource consumption while enhancing the customer experience. This includes choosing sustainable materials and optimizing designs to minimize waste.

Equipment replacement

We have launched a gradual program to replace our equipment with more energy-efficient alternatives. This includes low-water and low-energy consumption appliances, as well as more efficient and environmentally friendly heating and cooling systems.

Donations to organizations

Instead of discarding functional equipment and supplies, we prioritize donations to local organizations. This initiative helps extend the lifespan of items while supporting the community and reducing waste.

With these new policies, we continue our commitment to a more sustainable and responsible model. Stay tuned to learn more about the other actions we are implementing as part of our circular economy project!
