Our CSR ambitions: Pillar 1

The positive impact of our operations

Reducing our footprint and making the most of resources

To confirm our commitment to a sustainable and responsible approach on an international scale, Malteries Soufflet has signed up to the Science Based Targets initiative. An ambitious approach has been devised to meet the most challenging objective of the Paris Agreement, limiting global warming to 1.5°C compared with pre-industrial temperatures. So our action plan is based on two main stages. The first is to halve our carbon emissions by 2030, and then move towards Net Zero Emissions across the entire value chain.

Ambitions for 2030
-50% reduction in carbon emissions on scope 1 and 2 compared to 2020
-30% reduction in water consumption compared to 2020
