- Suppliers :
- Most of our suppliers are committed to a sustainable development approach and we encourage them in this. (Tetra Pak and SCA: FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified ; Hartmann: committed to Global Compact; Anios: ISO 14001 certified, etc.)
- Example : Tetra Pak: Tetra Brik has a better environmental profile than plastic bottles: 90 g/litre CO2 emissions (150 g/litre on average for a bottle).
The economy:
- Management of consumptions :
- Managing our water, electricity consumptions - Limiting consumptions to required quantities
- Management of energy consumption of lorries, maximising load capacity and delivery itineraries.
