We just finished our 👉 #SustainabilityDay by FORVIA, leaving me with a profund feeling of inspiration and motivation to continue in our task of making the automotive industry more sustainable.
We had conferences with esteemed speakers and experts from our industry and civil society, including François Gemenne (IPCC), Inès Leonarduzzi (Digital for the Planet), Jean-philippe Hermine (IDDRI), Valérie Mas (WeNow), Odile Dalla Barba (Plastic Odyssey), Hélène Marotine (act4nature international) who shared their knowledge and vision, completed by insights from one of our clients with Volvo Group represented by Eric Chapoulaud, Johan Marchner and Renato Liardo. I want to personally thank all our guests for the quality of their presentations, it was truly insightful, and it reinforces our determination to push boundaries.
This event was also about interactions and collective thinking, that’s why we also had workshops and deep-dive sessions with smaller groups on topics such as green finance, CO2 regulations, hydrogen mobility or new sustainable materials. Mainly led by our teams, it has encouraged direct and productive conversations with our participants, and you could sense the excitement and the commitments of FORVIAN’s during these sessions.
As an equipment supplier, it is our responsibility to innovate solutions and technologies that enable our clients (OEMs) to make cars that emit much less carbon than their previous models. We know that we have a crucial role to play, and we are on the right track if I see some of the technologies displayed today, with some achieving emission reductions of up to 90% compared to current standards.
We must keep going on this path, bringing new technologies that are more sustainable but also more affordable to make them available to everyone and ensuring that sustainability becomes an inclusive reality.
Sometimes, pictures say more than words and because I am also quite proud of the work of my team (Neïla Bachene), I invite you to watch the film below, which summarizes a lot FORVIA—our vision, our actions, our people and our energy.
Thank you to my highly professionnal and committed team for organizing this event 🙏 Laure Sauser Petra Van Der Waard Christophe MALBRANQUE Petra Van Der Waard Arnaud Ledoux Elisabeth DELVAL
One of my favorite takeaways of our #SustainabilityDay : Never be afraid of change. You may lose something good but you may gain something better !
Let's keep driving positive change together!
