LINK in motion ONE #EVERY VED OL IS INV ONE #EVERYBUTES! CONTRI MALTEUROP – RECYCLING WATER Malteurop’s Manufacturing Excellence project has enabled the Group to reduce its water consumption by 26% in the last 10 years. To go even further, in December 2023 Malteurop launched the Jouvence programme devoted to managing water consumption and optimising the treatment of effluents. This project aims to help Malteurop maintain the practices that have enabled it to reduce its water footprint. The next step is water recycling. Once conventional optimisation methods have already been implemented, the aim is to improve the resilience of malting plants in regions with significant water stress and where there is a high risk of restrictions. The primary focus is currently on France, Spain, and Australia. This new initiative will identify sites where there is a risk of water restrictions or drought and select water recycling technologies suited to the malting plants’ operations while taking into account local regulations and customer expectations. DÉLIFRANCE – DEVELOPMENT OF A REPLICABLE METHOD FOR ANALYSING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS THE COOPERATIVE’S SILOS AND SEED STATIONS – Created and rolled out in Béthune IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EMS* in February 2024, this method A comprehensive effort has been made to formalise and harmonise enables us to evaluate the site’s environmental analyses, the management of environmental incidents, and environmental impact and identify regulatory compliance. A dedicated environmental committee, comprising key challenges in order to define all relevant managers, meets quarterly to monitor the implementation of priorities. After experimentation, the charter, share feedback, develop action plans and track indicators. To this model was rolled out to implement initiatives on the ground, an Environmental Committee has been Dunkirk in June 2024. The aim established in each of the Cooperative’s five territories, supported by local is to roll it out to all the other managers. Additionally, an Energy Performance Manager has been hired, and Délifrance sites. a dual approach — focusing on both environmental and economic aspects — has been implemented for energy, water, and waste management. To provide structure, meaning, and coherence to these efforts, a rollout kit for the Charter has been distributed to nearly 70 sites. *EMS: Environmental Management System.
