Earth Day
What is Onet doing to help preserve the planet?
Committed to preserving the planet, our CSR policy " Un Présent pour le Futur" ("A Present for the Future ") enables us not only to reduce our ecological footprint, but also to support our employees in making gestures in favor of the environment for the well-being of all.
Awareness of our environmental responsibilities guides our day-to-day service activities. Committed to the principles of the circular economy, we take concrete action, such as reusing and extending the life of our resources before recycling, or using our Biogistic solution to reduce plastic waste.
In our constant search for solutions to reduce our environmental impact, we draw on our partnership with the Institut de l'économie circulaire. We also support Fabrice Amedeo, a sailor committed to biodiversity.

On this April 22, Earth Day, which aims to make citizens aware of the urgent need to take action for the environment and encourage them to take concrete action to care for the planet on a daily basis, we would like to remind you of the actions we are taking at Onet to preserve our planet.
Convinced that our value also lies in our impact and the way in which we do our jobs, our employees are regularly made aware, as part of their professional missions, of the impacts that can be generated towards our planet. Our aim is to enable them to play their part in preserving our planet, because the environment and human values are key concerns for the Group in all our businesses.
Through our service activities, we are committed to preserving the environment and helping to protect the planet, to producing services and goods in a circular economy that respects biodiversity, and to developing activities that contribute to the use of low-carbon energy.

Earth Day
Celebrated for the first time on April 22, 1970, Earth Day has become the largest participatory environmental movement on the planet, with over a billion people in 193 countries taking action on this dedicated day.
This year, the 2021 edition features animals who have to clean up their polluted living environments themselves.
Onet, a company aware of its environmental responsibilities
Since 2004, Onet's commitment has been based on the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact.
This long-standing support enables us to make a concrete contribution to the international action plan for peace, humanity, planet and prosperity represented by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Integrating the principles of the circular economy into the solutions we offer our customers
Guided by our CSR commitments, we actively participate in our customers' responsible and sustainable approach by integrating the circular economy into our solutions.
The methods and procedures used by our customers and employees are constantly reviewed and modified, to reduce the resources used while maintaining the same level of quality.
To this end, since 2018 we have been relying on our partnership with the Institut de l'Économie Circulaire, whose mission is to promote the circular economy in France and Europe, to deepen our thinking in these terms.
Tons of plastic saved with our Biogistic waste management solution
Since 2018, we have been deploying our Biogistic solution for our cleaning services to take action on a daily basis to preserve the cleanliness and hygiene of our customers' working, leisure... environments and ensure the well-being of their employees/customers and the performance of their equipment.
This solution, which combines technical and environmental performance, combines the use of eco-labelled and biotech-derived products with integrated logistics from ordering to on-site use. We are thus affirming our commitment to the circular economy.
Today, thanks to the use of this solution (up to 84% in the tertiary sector), we can reuse containers to reduce our plastic waste, while reducing product transport and limiting ourCO2 emissions.
Biogistic enables us to save around 20 tonnes of plastic per year, i.e. over 2 million plastic bottles not thrown away over 5 years, i.e. a 30% reduction in plastic waste generated by conventional cleaning services.
A second life for our computer and telephone equipment!
Since 2015, we have been committed to a circular economy approach. We prioritize reuse and life extension of our resources before resorting to recycling.
Thanks to a partnership with OLINN, an adapted company made up of four companies including Nodixia, the life cycle of our IT and telephone equipment is extended.
In our network's branches, we identify and collect end-of-life computer equipment. This equipment is then processed and the confidential data it contains destroyed. They can then be given a second life, either by being reconditioned and resold on the second-hand market, or by being recycled.
In 2020, our network collected over 800 items of IT equipment, representing over 5 tonnes of reconditioned equipment.
In partnership with Ecosystem, our cleaning agencies also benefit from a recycling solution for electrical and electronic cleaning equipment (such as scrubber-driers).
Thanks to this solution, 33 tonnes of material were collected for recycling in 2020 : hazardous substances are carefully extracted and disposed of in accordance with strict environmental standards.
The materials that make up our equipment (plastics, metals, etc.) are sorted and then used in the manufacture of new products.
Support for Fabrice Amedeo's scientific project
Water covers 72% of the 509 million km2 of the earth's surface. Most of the blue planet's water, 97.2% of which is salty, is found in the oceans and inland seas, as well as in certain underground aquifers.
With this in mind, Onet has signed a partnership with yachtsman Fabrice Amedeo, who took part in the last Vendée Globe in November 2020, to support his scientific project.
Aboard his boat, Fabrice Amedeo has installed oceanographic sensors to collect data at sea (water salinity, Co2 levels and phytoplankton content) . He is thus able to share this information with the international scientific community, with a view to preserving the oceans and the planet.
Thanks to these elements, scientists (such as Ifremer) will be able to better understand the impact and consequences of global warming and greenhouse gases on the oceans. They will be able to model climate change and study the level of pollution in the oceans, thereby preserving biodiversity and combating the decline of our ecosystem.
