Production: Limiting our carbon footprint (new 2026)

As a crucial stage in the product life cycle from an environmental point of view, our production has evolved over the years to limit the carbon footprint of our sites.

What is our strategy? To develop local production to reduce transportation, reduce the energy consumption of our plants and have them certified to improve their continuous operation.

Sustainability

Produce locally for each market

More than 50% of the products sold are manufactured locally, on every continent.​

Europe is our main production area and our largest market.​

Our head office is located in France.

Reducing the energy consumption of our plants

In recent years, we have significantly reduced the energy consumption of our production sites by working on several levers:

  • More energy-efficient industrial heating and cooling facilities in all of our French plants (Tarare, Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux, Grillon). Consequently, the use of closed-loop cooling systems has significantly contributed to the drop in water consumption in these plants: from 1.5 million m3 per year to 0.25 million since 2000!
  • Production lines that consume less energy, incorporating the best techniques for optimizing energy efficiency. For example, the new "2-meter" rolls line at our Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux plant has enabled its consumption to be reduced by 30%
  • The transition to 100% green electricity certified in all our plants powered by hydroelectric energy 
  • More and more electric vehicles instead of diesel trucks. For example, in 2019, all diesel semi-trailers used for handling were replaced by electric tractors at our Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux plant, and at Tarare, all handling vehicles have been electric since 2022

Certified sites

With a commitment to continuously improve quality, environmental and energy performance, our sites have engaged in ambitious certification initiatives:

  • Most of our sites hold ISO 9001 certification for quality management and ISO 14001 certification for environmental management.
  • Our key production sites in France, Germany and China are ISO 50001 certified (energy management), accounting for more than 70% of the Group's total energy consumption.
