A DECARBONISATION STRATEGY FOCUSED ON THE VEHICULE’S LIFE CYCLE

For several decades, the Group has focused its decarbonization policy on the entire life cycle of the vehicle, from design, manufacture, use and recycling. This pioneering commitment to limiting the impact on the climate and resources has reduced the Group's overall carbon footprint by 25% between 2010 and 2022. A result that puts the company on track to aim for carbon neutrality in 2040 in Europe and by 2050 on a global scale.

As early as 1949, the Choisy-Le-Roi plant specialized in repairing mechanical parts to extend their service life. In 2008, the company was already investing in the development of recycling channels (Indra, Gaia, Boone Comenor).  Through the Refactory project in Flins in the circular economy, the Group has been demonstrating since 2020 that it is possible to positively transform the automotive industry. Finally, with the creation in 2022 of a dedicated entity, The Future Is NEUTRAL, the Group aims to rapidly increase the need for recycled materials in the automotive sector and aims to become the European leader in the automotive circular economy in a closed loop, that is, from the automobile to the automobile.

To act quickly and on all fronts of change, the Group has chosen a new organizational model composed of 5 teams mobilized on each chain of strategic value and in collaboration with many partners. Thus, each team has its own sustainable development objectives and supports the Group's transformation to build a next-generation automotive company. With a common vision: the mobility of the future must be low-carbon, responsible and safe, driven by environmentally and socially just innovation.
