The Earth, our planet, is in danger. Today, we consume and we waste a lot of the natural resources whose creation has taken millions of years: air, water, oceans, forests, lands, biodiversity, … We do not have a spare planet !
So, how could we satisfy our actual needs without definitively deplete our planet and preserve Earth for the future generations ?
Just by learning how to save and how to share our resources, by using new and clean technologies, and above all, by changing our consumption habits and our behaviors towards our planet.
As part of our sustainable development approach, in 2020 we implemented an energy management system at our French production sites, based on the ISO 50001 standard. The objective is to continuously improve our energy performance over the long term by adopting methodical management of electricity and fossil fuel consumption, while helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The year 2021 was also marked by the recognition of the work carried out by all the group's QHSE teams with the award of the EcoVadis bronze certificate. Founded in 2007, EcoVadis is an independent reference organization that evaluates the integration of Sustainable Development criteria in customer/supplier relationships.The EcoVadis methodology is based on international sustainability standards, in particular the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact and the ISO 26000 standard.
It covers 150 business sectors and 140 countries.EcoVadis establishes CSR assessments of companies by assigning an overall rating based on scores that reflect the company's performance on its social responsibility actions.
Moreover, De Dietrich Process Systems is a member of the (e)CO2 program initiated by our waste management service provider. This program aims at compensating the carbon emissions linked to the transport of our waste by supporting a reforestation project in Peru, implemented by the association PUR Projet.
This initiative enables the implementation of environmental, economic and social projects that protect biodiversity and ensure a sustainable income for local populations. All these efforts are supported by a strong and proactive innovation approach in order to continue to offer our customers increasingly virtuous solutions that respect our environment.
