ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

SODEX SPORT is dedicated to playing its part in providing workplace solutions that respect our environment and its community's future

Recycling initiatives have been put into practice in our operations to reduce our ecological footprint.
Our team of engineers is trained to reduce any potential waste. Indeed, from the design process of our products, the sizing of the product, the choice of supplier, the reduction of the quantity of scrap (and its recycling) as well as the packaging volumes are studied. All these parameters are part of our final reflection, as are the technical aspects of our products.
In offices, paper is reused as much as possible before being recycled. Printing is reduced to the bare minimum.

Personnel transport to and from our factory is carried out by collective transport to provide free commute to employees but also to limit CO₂ emissions.

The construction of a new plant has enabled us to optimize the use of natural light. In addition, a wall ventilation system allows us to make the most of natural airflow.
This has allowed us to reduce our consumption by 30% in terms of ventilation and artificial lighting.
The factory layout complies with environmental standards. We now have 15 000m2 of floor space, part of which is dedicated to green spaces, 15% of the surface area remains unbuilt.
