To reinforce our contribution to the objectives defined by the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement to limit the average global warming to 1.5 °C, Slayzz is committed to reducing our direct carbon footprint by 55% by 2030. This concerns both the energy consumption of our own sites as well as those generated by our supply chain and the entirety of our indirect activites such as services, transport, employee trips, waste. A trajectory for reducing our greenhouse gas emissions has been reviewed and approved by the Science Based Targets (SBTi) initiative.

 

OUR COMMITMENTS

100% RENEWABLE ENERGY IN OUR PRODUCTION & LOGISTICS SITES BY 2025

100% LED LIGHTING IN OUR STORES BY 2025

 

Tracking our Carbon Footprint:

2004 is the year that we pioneered the measuring of our annual carbon footprint using a standardised method (Bilan Carbone^®) in order to account for the greenhouse gas emissions caused by all our activities around the world. As a result, reducing our carbon footprint has become one of the cornerstones of our strategy to improve our environmental performance.

We take responsibility for our entire carbon footprint as defined as: worldwide, all activities, scopes 1-2-3. Based on our findings, we have identified that the main contributions of greenhouse gases come from three sources: raw materials, energy, and transport. We have chosen to focus our efforts on reducing emissions caused by our buildings and equipments and through transportation, given that these account for almost half of our total emissions. We address the emissions generated from raw materials through our responsible sourcing actions (see above). 

 

In the Beaulieu workshop (France), natural sources of light were optimised throughout the building, earning the site a BREEAM^® "Very Good" certification in 2019.

The Marsaz workshop (France) benefits from natural insulation through a green roof and heat pumps, earning it the HQE^TM label in 2011).

The EOLE warehouse (France) earned a LEED^® certification in 2015 and employs a system where wastewater is biologically purified through planted filtering basins of purifying aquatic plants, while rainwater is collected for landscaping irrigation.

Renewable energy in the San Dimas workshop (USA, LEED^® "Gold" 2020) equipped with solar panels.

France’s Saint-Pourçain workshop's structure was built using oak, chosen for its low environmental impact, which earned it the BREEAM^® certification in 2020.
