Pillar 1: Environment

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors. We borrow it from our children.

We want to measure and reduce the impact we have on our natural environment. This includes the use of natural resources, carbon footprint reduction, waste reduction, reforestation, extending the lifetime of our products and restoration of the natural harm done.

Our ambition

Sioen wants to get rid of the disposable society. We therefore try to extend the life cycle of as many materials and products as possible and help protect our planet from over-exploitation. By doing so we also reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for our customers. This circular approach is closely related to our ambition to improve our own ecological impact.

Energy – road to lower greenhouse gas emissions

We are set on reducing our carbon footprint. The yearly calculation of our CO2 footprint makes it possible to closely follow our evolution regarding CO2 emissions and performance and to define actions to reduce them. Identifying inefficiencies in terms of energy and raw material consumption positively affects the bottom line of our business, and of the world.

Waste & raw material efficiency - road to circular economy

Having a waste management program in place is of major importance. This includes characterisation, minimisation, collection, treatment, recycling, reuse, and disposal. It also implies having a waste policy and deploying thorough education programs

Carbon footprint

We are set on reducing our carbon footprint. The yearly calculation of our CO2 footprint makes it possible to closely follow our evolution regarding CO2 emissions and performance and to define actions to reduce them. Identifying inefficiencies in terms of energy and raw material consumption positively affects the bottom line of our business, and of the world.
