using a tool that we designed at Petzl.
That’s twice the number of suppliers we
supported the year before.
The percentage of incinerated waste slightly increased in 2023 due to a change
in partnership that required the implementation of more rigorous sorting methods.

Supporting our suppliers: We continue
to implement our responsible purchasing
plan with several steps: we evaluate our
suppliers, identify areas of improvement,
and offer support. This year, we strengthened
the environmental component of our
evaluation tool and increased requirements
for monitoring carbon emissions.

#01 A COLLABORATIVE CSR APPROACH, PART OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN
Summary of Our Actions
Decarbonizing our supply chain:
To optimize the f low of goods in
the Asia-Pacif ic, we set up a logistical
hub in Malaysia so that we could
store locally-manufactured products
and ship directly to our distributors
and customers in the same region,
without the need to go through France.
This is a more logical approach that
signif icantly reduces CO

emissions.
2023 KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Elimination of single-use plastics:
In 2021, we found that 79 metric tons of
non-reusable plastic was used for product
packaging, so we committed to totally
eliminating it by 2025. In 2023, we reduced
this number to 23 metric tons — a 70%
decrease, putting us well on our way to
meeting our objective. Totally eliminating
single-use plastic in our helmet packaging
by the end of 2024 will help us save
12 metric tons of plastic every year.
Collaboration and sharing best practices
with other fellow outdoor industry
players: Alongside OSV (Outdoor Sports
Valley), Petzl hosted and co-organized a day
of discussion and collaboration on current
environmental topics, including measuring
and communicating the carbon footprint
of products, regulations, and Life Cycle
Analysis (LCA).
