our focus was on f illing this gap by taking

the time necessary to identify where data

was missing and offering support to each

individual involved.

We’ve done extensive work to ref ine

the data used in our calculations,

making the results more reliable.

Additionally, we’ve worked to

integrate the tools we use and update

emission factors using ADEME’s

Empreinte

®

.

Data standardization is absolutely necessary

to the intersection of application (carbon

assessment, eco-design, environmental

markings) and environmental regulations.

That’s why using the centralized and

accessible Empreinte

®

database as

our sole source of data perfectly aligns

with our objectives to remain transparent

and consistent.

With these optimizations, our 2023 carbon

assessment is moving towards its f inal

stages. While there is progress yet to be

made, we consider the data representing

80% of our revenue to be reliable.

2 - Optimizing Logistics

in the Asia Pacif ic

In 2020, the transport of goods from our

suppliers to distribution centers, then

to customers, was the second-largest

source of emissions, representing 25%

of our overall carbon footprint. Over

the last 2 years, our supply chain and

logistics teams have been working to

reduce this percentage.

The f irst key step was to meticulously map

out our f low of goods, both national and

international. In order to put this data into

the perspective of CO

2

emissions, we

needed to calculate and analyze the volume

of materials supplied to our manufacturing

sites, as well the volume of product we were

shipping from these sites to customers

all over the world.

Because products manufactured at our

site in Asia were transferred through our

main logistics hub in France before being

shipped to our customers in Asia, we

quickly identif ied the Asia-Pacif ic as a zone

where we could optimize logistics. This

f low of goods was based on a single-order

system for customers whose orders consist

of products manufactured both in the EMEA

zone* and in Asia.

WHAT WE DID IN 2023

1 - Improving Reliability of Our

Carbon Assessment Tool and Data

Carrying out a full carbon assessment is

a long process. It requires the contributions

from a large number of actors in order to

collect and review data, as well as precise

mapping of all the company’s partners and

processes. Sometimes, the data we need

is not yet being monitored by the company,

which makes the work of collecting and

mapping more complex. In this case, we

make hypotheses and observe them over

time, or we modify them in the name of

continuous improvement, making it harder

to compare different assessments year over

year. Although we’d already completed four

carbon assessments since 2008, the work

done in 2020 with Carbone 4 was very

instrumental. It helped us not only formalize

and present data, but launch education

initiatives at every level of the company.

However, a large amount of data remained

incomplete, leading to a carbon footprint

that was only partially accurate. In 2023,

Carbon Intensity by Year

k g C O2 e q. / p r o d u c t s o l d

We’re quantifying carbon intensity based on the number of products sold. This indicator allows us to

measure without being affected by f luctuations in exchange rates or product pricing, unlike carbon

intensity based on revenue.
