Many internal and external initiatives have been in place for a number of years to raise awareness among all our employees of the need to protect the environment. three main pillars of CSR :
Environnement : Reducing our carbon footprint, developing ecological solutions and promoting the circular economy.
Social : Providing a quality working environment, promoting diversity and supporting local communities.
Economy : Ensuring sustainable growth, creating value for our customers and contributing to a better future with our patents and labels.
Where does the term sustainable development come from?
The term développement durable is rooted in the field of silviculture, where it referred to the practice of taking no more forest resources than naturally regrow. This approach was then broadened and applied to other fields, giving rise to a more global definition.
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
