Environment

Sicame Group is highly focused on managing its environmental impact by mobilizing its value chain, in particular, to reduce its impact in relation to:

Sites and operations

The Group’s sites implement environmental procedures, with a particular focus on reducing and recovering waste and optimizing energy consumption (replacement of equipment, use of renewables and awareness-raising among teams, for example).

The Group has also assessed its carbon footprint for Scopes 1, 2 and 3, and is currently drafting an action plan to reduce its emissions.

Products

Sicame Group provides sustainable solutions for the long term, manufacturing and installing products designed to last for several decades.

In addition to the extended lifespan of its products, the Group has implemented procedures to measure and reduce its environmental impact, having deployed an eco-design program focused on various areas for improvement across the product lifecycle (selection of materials, lower-impact manufacturing processes, and energy efficiency, for example).

Social

Aware that the Group’s people are its greatest asset, Sicame Group has made them a central priority.

Inclusion and diversity

As an inclusive Group, Sicame aims to provide equal opportunities for all, implementing a diversity and inclusion policy in all the countries where it operates, in particular by ensuring workplace equality and promoting employment for people with disabilities.

In France, this commitment is demonstrated through an agreement with Agefiph.
