To monitor water usage, we utilise an indicator that compares the volume of water consumed (in cubic metres) to the total industrial cost price at each site. This enables meaningful comparisons and targeted improvements. At our Champagne site, this approach resulted in a 42% reduction in water consumption between 2019 and 2024.
- Some of the buildings are heated by recovering the energy emitted by the fumes from the boilers.
- The entire process of cooling the conductivity probe of the steam generator has been reviewed, leading to a saving of nearly 20,000 m3 of water.
- The decision to replace the boilers on our sites has reduced energy consumption by almost 20%.
- The insulation of the technical ducts has been reinforced, thus reducing energy consumption.
- All installed light bulbs are gradually being replaced with LED lighting.
- Gradually, the fleet of service vehicles is being replaced by electric vehicles and charging stations are being installed.
Thanks to an ambitious carbon and wastage reduction plan, we have achieved a 22% reduction in emissions compared to our 2019 inventory reported in 2020.
- All bio-waste from the company canteen on the Lyon site is collected by the local waste disposal company “Les Alchimistes" and transformed into compost in Villeurbanne Office.
- Waste is sorted and recycled by the ESAT “ELISE” which creates local jobs and is inclusive to people with disabilities or experiencing integration difficulties.
- Our industrial waste such as our plastic containers and cardboard are recycled in specialized channels.
- Our plastic corks are passed on to the "Solidarité Bouchons" association.
- In factories, disposable gowns have been replaced by re-usable gowns.
With its partner Ecovamed, Aguettant assessed the cradle-to-grave carbon footprints of 3 Aguettant injectable medicines. The analysis takes into account the necessary consumables (needles, pad, disinfectant, syringe etc.) and the wastage rate of medication prepared in advance from ampoules. (1)
