Stéarinerie Dubois’ Post

Responsible actions today – for a better tomorrow. STADA is taking its commitment to sustainability seriously.   To achieve positive Environment, Social and Governance (SDG) impacts, STADA is setting its own targets and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, while focusing on being more sustainable in its operations. STADA continues to be a responsible “citizen” and “neighbor” when it comes to production performance in line with sustainability, and the full lifecycle of its products.   In support of SDG 12, STADA’s focus is on resource consumption and waste, decarbonization and climate change, as well as sustainable products. STADA production sites have implemented local processes to ensure compliance with environmental laws and to continuously improve their environmental performance, based on Group-wide requirements. Energy is a critical resource, and the efficient use of energy is only one pillar of STADA’s carbon reduction roadmap. Consumers are increasingly expecting sustainable products and packaging, and these should continue to be competitive in the marketplace. STADA remains dedicated to its sustainability efforts and the reduction of packaging waste.   Read more about Sustainability at STADA: https://lnkd.in/eB7scevz #ItComesNaturallyForUs #TakingResponsibility #Sustainability #ESG

✅ Since 2012, Stéarinerie Dubois has shared with its customers, via CDP reporting, the measures it is taking in favor of a sustainable future as well as the results obtained. In 2023, a “B.B.B-” rating recognizes the efforts of our teams on climate, forests and water! This is a progressing and remarkable result for a company of the size of ours. #Focus: 💧 #water is a resource at the heart of our concerns and whose quality and use we manage, particularly within the framework of ISO 14 001 and on 2 major axes: 👉 Recycling and recovery 👉 Eco-efficiency These two levers generated significant progress which allowed us to meet the requirements of the CDP on the water issue for the first time in 2023 and to be rated B-. Furthermore, the constant drop in emissions within the company's scope and its strong involvement in the sustainability of plant sectors were recognized with a B rating on climate and forest issues. The commitment to significant and measurable environmental action is more essential than ever, and Stéarinerie Dubois is now reaping the fruits of its commitment. With the CDP, like more than 23,000 companies, we exploit the power of our data to measure and challenge our continuous improvement approach, validate and adapt our strategy and our action plans. Long-term work that serves our objectives of transparency and the management of our societal commitment. Cosmetic Valley POLEPHARMA Club ETI Centre-Val de Loire #climate #water #forests

Companies are taking important steps towards #sustainability as the world becomes increasingly conscious about the environment. Recently, there has been a growing emphasis on creating health care packaging that is environmentally friendly, focusing on reusable and recyclable options. At PFSCM, we are committed to being part of this sustainability movement. Our colleagues Marina Tiroyan and Maïté BARTHEL, M.Sc., Pharm.D attended the #PharmaPack conference in Paris, where they learned about the latest packaging innovations and sustainability trends. We are closely following changes and updates in the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (#PPWR) and other international requirements, which is a crucial step towards achieving global sustainability goals. By embracing sustainable practices, we can create a better future for ourselves and the planet.

🌱 What does sustainability have to do with food production? Everything! 🌱 The manufacturing of physical products has always been challenging, and food production is no exception. In fact, it might be even tougher! While there are some mega entities in the food production value chain, 99% of the landscape is made up of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that are essential in providing our daily nutrition. Today, Terence and I had the pleasure of visiting one such company. We're thrilled to learn about their plans and discuss how food production can become more sustainable. To achieve global decarbonisation goals, the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) - Grant Thornton Singapore ARC framework collaboration can provide vital solutions for these SMEs. Through the ARC Framework, companies can access end-to-end solutions, from training to sustainability advisory and assurance services, helping them become more sustainable. Want to know more? Reach out to Terence Kam Chetan Hans Anne Liew or me to see how we can help! 🌍💼 #Sustainability #FoodProduction #SMEs #GreenFuture #ARCframework

Today I had the privilege of helping facilitate Behaven’s third European Roundtable, in partnership with the UK Science and Innovation Network. This event brought together behaviour change and environmental experts, policymakers and civil society representatives, industry and business leaders to discuss the role of ecolabels across Europe in helping achieve a more sustainable future. Here are my key takeaways from the discussions... 👉🏽 Food ecolabels are symbols which indicate the environmental impact of food items. What are some of the benefits of ecolabelling? ✅ Present complex environmental impact information in a summarised and salient manner  ✅ Effective at influencing consumer choices towards sustainable options, reminding them about environmental issues at the point of purchase  ✅ Provide a competitive advantage for businesses as consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable options they trust  ✅ The demand for ecolabels has led to significant innovation, such as by manufacturers, for sustainable solutions However, there are several challenges to the effective use of ecolabels: 1️⃣ In Europe alone there are over 231 types of ecolabels, with 58 related to food. This creates confusion for both businesses and consumers in navigating this “labelling jungle”. 2️⃣ There is still a lack of good quality data of the environmental impact of foods across the supply chain and little consensus on how to quantify the impact of specific products. This is vital to ensure accurate and transparent ecolabelling. 🤔 So, what should we do going forward? > We need to move beyond just carbon emissions and integrate other issues, such as biodiversity loss, in creating meaningful ecolabels > We must find a harmonised ecolabel system at an international level as simplicity is key > We have to continue accumulating high-quality data and incentivising data collection is an important focus > We should think broadly about how ecolabels interact with other important factors, such as animals welfare, human health and financial constraints Thank you Julia Terlet for moderating such a meaningful discussion, and to all the speakers for their insights and contributions. This is a great first step towards a worldwide ecolabel solution!

For companies working across industries, context-specific approaches and collaboration are key to good water stewardship. Our sector working groups met recently to take a deep dive into topics related to their industries and learn from peers. 💧 In our Agricultural Value Chains Working Group, Azura Group shared their experience of implementing water stewardship and the AWS Standard. From the beginning of their journey through to certification, they shared their successes, as well as strategies used to overcome challenges. Participants also heard from WRAP and Good Stuff International about their Collective Action Project in Spain in the Doñana region. 💧In our Textiles & Apparel Working Group, WRAP shared their Textiles 2023 Roadmap, a 10-year agreement with 130 signatories, which aims to reduce water footprints by 30%, cut carbon emissions and deliver a circular textiles roadmap for the UK. ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme also presented their approach to improve chemical management in the fashion industry by sharing their MRSL Chemistry Framework. 💧 In our Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals & Personal Care Working Group, Abbott presented their water stewardship journey and experience certifying manufacturing sites to the AWS Standard. With a goal of securing all high water-impact manufacturing sites in water-stressed areas by 2023, they shared key learnings on what makes for a successful certification. AstraZeneca also provided an overview of a concept paper developed with WWF examining non-source pollutants. A huge thank you to all our presenters: Aude Ruiz Pradelles.
