ENVIRONMENT Environmental policy With the focus on minimising its impact on the environment, DESCOURS & CABAUD is determined to streamline its use of natural resources and align its policies with the objectives set out in the Paris Agreement (COP 21) and the European Green Deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and tackle climate change. The Group's strategy is designed to raise the bar on its own environmental performance, while making a positive contribution to the environmental performance of its customers and their end users. This strategy also aims to incorporate its environmental practices into the circular economy by promoting reuse and eco-design principles where appropriate. DESCOURS & CABAUD's environmental policy is built upon the following key principles: • Promote resource efficiency, reuse resources and restrict the use of disposable goods wherever practicable; • Reduce the “carbon cost” of the Group's activities; • Produce less waste and encourage recycling and reuse; • Step up efforts to offer eco-designed services and products, especially for the Group's own-brand products; • Include environmental performance requirements when selecting suppliers; • Reject any direct or indirect supplies that feed conflicts or profit from the intensive or unfair use of the natural resources that local communities need for their survival and way of life; • Promote sustainable consumption. In 2023, the scope of the Declaration of Non-Financial Performance was extended to include the collection and processing of environmental data.
