Our activities affect the quality of air, water and soil, which are all factors in health. Improving quality of life for our customers and for public authorities and managing the environmental and health impact of our technologies are part of our DNA. We apply our employees' talents and our knowledge and expertise to those issues, especially through our Research and Innovation department.
Environmental and Health Standards : A three-fold program designed to forecast and assess, and therefore control more efficiently, environmental and health impacts of our facilities and operations.
- The first line of research aims to identify and prevent situations where potentially dangerous contaminants could emanate from our facilities, putting at risk our personnel, customers or local residents.
- A second line addresses the development of test methods to ensure appropriate limits are applied according to health or other regulations.
- Thirdly, research is conducted into how in future, as per new codes and performance indicators, environmental and health benefits stemming from our operations may be quantified and an added value defined.
