We take actions to reduce our energy consumption
4 Sep 2023As a manufacturer, we are well aware of our share of responsibility regarding the planet. Thus, we wish to take actions and progress towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly economic model.
We initiated our environmental approach in
2019, by joining the United Nations Global Compact and aligning our operations
and strategies with ten universal principles in the areas of human rights,
labour, environment and anti-corruption.
The following year, we became members of the
Sedex organisation. Sedex is one of the world’s leading ethical trade
membership organisation, working with businesses to improve working conditions
and environmental performances in global supply chains.
Following the government recommendations, we
have implemented an « energy sobriety » plan since October 2022 in order
to cut energy consumption by 10% over the next two years.
Today, with the aim of developing our activity
in a sustainable and eco-responsible way, we have decided to invest in
photovoltaic panels. Using these solar panels, we hope to reduce our impact on the environment.
Indeed, the sun is a local, clean and renewable
source of energy. As for photovoltaic panels, they do not emit carbon dioxide
or greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
These RECOM low carbon 440Wp solar panels will
be fastened to freestanding canopies in the parking lot of our factory in
Mouans-Sartoux. The total area will
represent 1026m² and will generate 217 MWh/year.
With a total amount of €410K, this investment
will enable us to cover 23% of our electricity needs per year. The installation will
take place during the second half of 2023.
