The geographical presence of our suppliers is also taken into consideration in order to reduce our carbon footprint as well as our supply times.

Awareness has been raised amongst the logisitcal and procurement teams and they are encouraged to consider environmental impacts in their daily tasks.

An large effort is underway regarding our energy consumption and on the type of energy used. The first stage focused on a switch from traditional lighting to LED lighting, and should see completion towards the end of 2019.

Energy audits carried out in our stores enable us to identify more in-depth initiatives, be it regarding equipments, maintenance and usage, and their implementation is currently underway.

At the head office for instance, certain measures have enabled 30% energy savings, we have chosen to source renewable energies only, to power our offices since 2018.
