Our commitments for the planet
Climate change has already had a measurable negative impact on natural habitats and our quality of life.
We all must work together to address these important issues.
Our CSR strategy, The Future Begins Today, has been in place since 2003. It is part of an ongoing effort to reduce our environmental footprint.
Our environmental commitment: Taking concrete actions to make our vision a reality
The Onet group has two main commitments:
- Produce goods and services as part of a circular economy that respects biodiversity
- Develop activities that contribute to the use of low-carbon energy.
To go even further, in 2019 the Onet Group will be working alongside yachtsman Fabrice Amedeo to preserve biodiversity, the oceans and the planet.
Using green methods and products in all of our divisions
We believe that companies must act to reduce their impact on human society and the environment.
Today, we are developing various projects based on the circular economy while protecting the health of our stakeholders.
In all of our divisions, we’ve invested in responsible recycling as well as processes that reduce and reuse packaging products. This has allowed us to reduce the amount of waste in the environment, particularly in the world’s oceans.
In 2017, we introduced a green cleaning system inspired by the circular economy. In addition to using ultra-concentrated, allergen-free and eco-label products, our system involves a dilution-control process and the reuse of empty containers.
It is an example of how the circular economy has profoundly influenced our services. The system also recognizes the importance of employee and tenant health while minimizing or neutralizing our environmental impact at the source (in terms of plastic waste, CO2 emissions, effluents, etc.)
The Biogistic system has reduced our plastic waste by 30%. This means that over a five-year period, 2 million fewer bottles will end up in a landfill!
Our commitment to improve waste and effluent management
Improper waste disposal can have a negative impact on human health and the environment. Our group is aware of this issue and has invested in responsible waste management processes for the company and its clients.
In November 2017, Onet signed a partnership with the environmental organization ECOSYSTEM for the collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) from professional equipment such as sweepers, automatic washers and steam cleaners. This partnership has contributed to the development of large-scale waste collection, a vector of environmental, economic and social performance.
Every day, by individually reducing our waste, giving new life to our objects and recycling them, we fight against waste and collectively preserve our natural resources and the environment.
Whether in terms of production, sorting or reuse, there are multiple solutions. Since 2015, we have notably embarked on a circular economy dynamic so as to reduce our environmental footprint through various solutions or approaches. We are committed to responsible recycling.
Reducing energy consumption
In an effort to preserve resources, Onet has streamlined its transport processes to minimize related emissions.
At the heart of the challenges of the energy transition is the evolution of our fleet towards solutions that pollute less than diesel. Our fleet comprises 3,880 vehicles, 75% of which are commercial vehicles and 25% company vehicles. This transition is in line with the LOM and Climat laws, which make it mandatory to green fleets and ban polluting vehicles in EPZs.
2021 was a pilot year for the deployment of electric vehicles. An incentive scheme for the deployment of electric vehicles has been put in place for company vehicles, with the deployment of charging stations at employees’ homes, for which we finance part of the installation.
15 pilot branches have been equipped with charging stations, with the installation of 60 electric charging places.
