Operations
With regard to safety, the Operations Division pays particular
attention to employees who work on production sites. They are
trained in compliance with safety rules and observe “a safety
minute ” every day in order to prevent and avoid accidents.
1.6.7. Environmental protection
at the heart ofproduction
Throughout the whole of the supply chain, initiative s with regard
to Sustainable Development are implemented all over the world.
In Libramont (Belgium), the Group has developed a 100%
green energy plant which produces more energy than it uses
thanks to a biomethanisation process. In Pune in India and in
Burgos in Spain, the plants generate the energy they use via
photovoltaic panels. In Chevilly-Larue (France), the L’Oréal site
uses geothermal energy to heat its premises.
All these initiatives respond to the three goals that the Group
has set itself for the 2005-2015 period for plants and distribution
centres: reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50%, reducing
waste generated per finished good by 50% and reducing
water consumption per finished good by 50% (cf. section6.2.
on page 194 ).
