Salomé Lécuyer, Sustainability specialist at LPR division

“With more and more people focusing on sustainability, our teams are increasingly specialised. Step-by-step, we are building teams with employees who are committed to addressing sustainability as part of their daily work.” To further activate our sustainability strategy, we are therefore enhancing our internal communications and knowledge-sharing on sustainability. For example, we have launched the ‘Tour de France’ challenge, involving four trophies and rewarding the top performers in reducing our environmental impact. Winners will be identified each quarter, and the results and progress of the challenge will be shared on our internal communication platform.

The importance of teamwork when it comes to tackling difficult sustainability challenges cannot be underestimated. As energy prices hit all-time highs in 2022 because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it became clear that we needed to accelerate our energy-reduction plans. This required the full and undivided commitment and skills of all our employees. As a result, we have managed to quickly reduce our energy consumption in depots and storage facilities by means of an impressive company-wide collaboration.

People

Our people are the key assets of our business. We are committed to providing training and development opportunities to strengthen our teams in all regions. We take measures across the organisation to contribute to the health and safety of our employees.

Planet

We set the ambition to reduce the carbon footprint for each rotation of our trays and pallets by 20% by 2025, in comparison to the baseline in 2017. To achieve this goal, we are committed to strategic projects that focus on optimising logistics, green energy and our reusable carriers.

Partners

Innovation and partnering with customers are key to driving circularity in the supply chain further. Together with our partners, we are constantly working on innovations and deploying new tools and technologies such as the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and other traceability tools.
