Séché Environnement launches its biodiversity strategy 2023-2027

Against the magnificent backdrop of the National Museum of Natural History and accompanied by its leading partners, Séché Environnement has launched a new cycle of commitments aimed at protecting biodiversity. Known as "Sustainable Action for Nature" (SAN), the strategy is being rolled out across nearly 30 industrial sites in France and abroad. The Group is also continuing to develop solutions for its customers that help protect the ecosystems beyond its own four walls.

Driven by a set of family values that prioritize long-term action and give special focus to our ecosystems and communities, the Group’s strategy draws strength from nearly 30 years’ experience in preserving biodiversity.

Taking action at the Group’s industrial sites

Our action plan is based on three key objectives that are implemented and adapted at each local site:

  • Knowledge and action
    Gain a clearer insight into the wildlife and plant-life living in and around the sites and harness that knowledge to develop targeted actions geared towards the specific features of each ecosystem.
  • Education and awareness
    Show, speak, tell and explain why everyone is responsible for protecting the living environment, whether employees, residents, students or teachers.
  • Commitment at every level
    Work with all stakeholders, both local and global, at every level of responsibility to mobilize the resources and sharpen the determination to take faster and stronger action. An urgent response is required.

We are focused on our ambition of leading preservation initiatives across all our sites. To achieve our aims, our Biodiversity team can harness the expertise of its six ecologists, the involvement of its employees and the passion of its 30 ambassadors, without whom nothing could be achieved on the ground. Thirty of our sites have already joined the Act4nature initiative championed by French environmental think-tank Entreprises pour l’Environnement (EpE).

The six sites with the largest land-takes have achieved Ecocert certification and implemented a biodiversity management system.

Our biodiversity partners

The Group knows that it can count on the support of its partners, both academia and associations, to drive its initiatives forward. This list is far from exhaustive!

Engaging with the entire value chain

Our commitment to preserving biodiversity stretches beyond the boundaries of our own sites and is well known to all our stakeholders:

  • Financing organizations through sustainability-linked loans
  • Suppliers, who are encouraged to engage with biodiversity
  • Customers, who can adopt solutions that strongly contribute to protecting the ecosystems

R-PAS heating network: when industry decarbonizes Strasbourg

Since 2021, the R-PAS heating network at the Port of Strasbourg has been recovering waste heat from the Blue Paper site. Thanks to the additional resource supplied by the industrial company Trédi, the network will pass the 150 gigawatt-hour mark in recovered energy by 2024, supplying the equivalent of 30,000 homes, including the Coop district, the Rhéna clinic, the headquarters of the Ports de Strasbourg, Malteries Soufflet and the Port du Rhin school. Strongly encouraged by Ademe, this decarbonized energy is now at the heart of the Eurometropole's decarbonization strategy. On Thursday April 11, two round-table discussions involving experts, industrialists and Strasbourg's elected representatives took stock of the project and its prospects, in front of over a hundred guests.
