PRESS RELEASE
CARBIOS publishes its second
sustainability report and confirms its ambitions to accelerate the
circular economy for plastic
Clermont-Ferrand (France), 21 December
2023 (18:00 CET). CARBIOS, (Euronext Growth Paris: ALCRB),
a pioneer in the development and industrialization of biological
technologies to reinvent the life cycle of plastic and textiles,
publishes its second Sustainability Report with 2022 as the
reference year. Like the first, this report is not subject to any
publication obligation for the company, confirms CARBIOS'
commitment and desire for transparency in terms of environmental,
social and governance (ESG) initiatives. Going beyond the
industrial development of its innovative technologies, the company
shares its progress and ambitions for the future.
In 2022, several objectives were achieved:
- Increase of the
number of independent directors on the Board of Directors,
- Completion of
the first carbon footprint report to sustainably reduce greenhouse
gas emissions,
- Consolidation of
the life cycle analysis (LCA) of the PET enzymatic depolymerization
process,
- Continuation of
employee training in safety and environmental issues.
These initiatives help to lay the foundations
for CARBIOS' CSR approach, which is a key strategic pillar on the
same level as R&D and industrial and commercial
development.
Emmanuel Ladent, CEO of
CARBIOS: "Being a player in sustainable development should
not be limited to offering technological solutions with low
environmental impact, however innovative they may be. The way we
see our role as a sustainable development player must apply to all
our activities: we want and must be exemplary in terms of
environmental, social and governance practices, business ethics and
the involvement of all our stakeholders. We see this as CARBIOS'
responsibility.”
In October 2023, CARBIOS appointed
Bénédicte Garbil as Senior Vice President
of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability: "In 2022, CARBIOS
strengthened its governance, building a solid foundation for our
continued growth and commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR). This strategic development demonstrates our commitment to
operational excellence and transparency. We have integrated the
principles of sustainability, ethics and environmental
responsibility at the heart of our governance, putting CSR at the
forefront of our actions."
