Environment Policy

Even though the products we manufacture and place on the market bring about an improvement in the environmental performance of our customers, it is still our duty to ensure that the impacts of our activities are fully identified and minimized. In this respect, the Saft Group has adopted an Environmental Charter which guides our actions. 

#1: Identify the impacts of our activities, measure these impacts, build and maintain an environmental management system 

• Know our legal obligations, identify the environmental compartments on which our activity has an impact,
• Identify appropriate indicators and quantify these impacts,
• On each industrial site develop an environmental management system.

#2: Reduce the impact of our manufacturing sites 

• Continue to ensure legal compliance,
• Continue to reduce environmental impacts where it is technically and economically feasible.

#3: Propose to our customers solutions which help them minimize their own impact on the environment 

• Identify with our customers the impacts of our products on the environment in their true application,
• Develop solutions to reduce such impacts by means of product (re-)design, improved procurement, enhanced use and proper end-of life management.

#4 : Identify and share best practices 

• On the basis of the results obtained on the above mentioned goals, identify the best practices and share them within the different units of the Group and, when applicable, with our customers.
