    This month, our company Siniat France, won the Sustainable Factory Award of the Year at the 2024 Industry Awards in France for pioneering urban treated water recycling at our Saint Loubès site. Since July 2024, this water has been used in our plasterboards to minimise drinking water usage. Ultimately, the plant will use 75% recycled water in its industrial processes! This award means the world to us, as Water is one of the priority areas of our Road to Sustainability 2030. It impacts one of our goals, which is to reduce our water withdrawal intensity by 20% by 2030 across Etex. We want to thank all teammates involved, as the Saint Loubès project brings us one step closer to our water withdrawal goal. Kudos to our team in France!🇫🇷 #RoadToSustainability2030 #Water

    Siniat France, lauréat du #Trophée Usine RSE de l'année pour sa gestion innovante de l'eau à Saint-Loubès 💧🌱 Lors des Assises de l’Industrie le 6 novembre dernier, Siniat a remporté le Trophée Usine #RSE de l’année, une distinction prestigieuse décernée par L'Usine Nouvelle. Ce trophée reconnaît l'engagement de Siniat pour le développement durable, avec notamment un projet pionnier de réutilisation des eaux traitées sur notre site de Saint-Loubès en #Gironde. Face aux défis climatiques et aux épisodes de sécheresse fréquents dans la région, Siniat a fait le choix stratégique d’optimiser ses ressources en eau non-potable pour la fabrication de plaques de plâtre. Depuis 2011, nos efforts se sont intensifiés : ‧ 2013 : mise en place de bassins de récupération d’eaux pluviales, permettant de diminuer notre consommation d’eau potable de plus de 60 %. ‧ 2023 : première entreprise de Gironde autorisée à utiliser les eaux traitées de la station d’épuration de Saint-Loubès, une avancée écologique majeure pour l’industrie locale. ‧ 2024 : achèvement des travaux de raccordement et de filtration permettant de couvrir jusqu’à 75 % des besoins en eau de l’usine par des ressources recyclées. Cette initiative permettra d’économiser chaque année l’équivalent de 45 piscines olympiques en eau potable, renforçant ainsi notre impact positif sur l’environnement et le territoire. 🌍 En tant qu’acteur industriel responsable, Siniat est fier de cette reconnaissance et reste mobilisé pour Construire Demain. Un grand bravo à Henri-François Boyer à l'initiative de ce projet, à Yoann Hagenmuller, à toute l'équipe du site de St Loubès ainsi qu'à toutes les personnes impliquées ! #ConstruireDemande #DéveloppementDurable Francois RICHARD, Iryna Yermakova

    Every day, our teammates apply science to develop innovative and sustainable solutions for the construction industry. In 2023, for example, we realised groundbreaking innovative initiatives, including: 🔬 In-house mixer technology was developed and implemented across several plasterboard plants in France, Poland, Spain, and Germany, contributing to energy and water savings. More plants will follow in 2024. 🌱 59% of our R&D resources were dedicated to sustainability, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions and raw material consumption. 🌍 Our newly launched plan aims to reduce the CO2 impact of cement in our European fibre cement factories by 30% by 2030, starting with plants in the Netherlands and France in 2024. We are proud of these innovations, which pave the way to a sustainable future. Today, on World Science Day for Peace and Development, we celebrate science and the ways it changes the world. #WorldScienceDayForPeaceAndDevelopment #UnitedToInspire #InspiringWaysOfLiving

    Our sustainability efforts also include selecting the right partners, who are willing and able to collaborate on green initiatives. For example, we choose to work with suppliers who utilise more sustainable fuels like liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a clean-burning fuel. In our Building Performance division in Germany, 50% of the fleet used by our partners for domestic transport runs on LPG. A great achievement, which enforces our determination to progress towards carbon neutrality with all parties involved. #Decarbonisation #UnitedToInspire #InspiringWaysOfLiving
