Naval Group célèbre la journée mondiale de l’environnement
Naval Group highlights its environmental initiatives on World Environment Day, detailing site-specific actions, carbon reduction plans, and circular economy projects across its facilities.
Naval Group marked World Environment Day by outlining its environmental strategy, coordinated by Aurélie, the group’s environmental lead. The program focuses on reducing environmental impact through waste management, energy efficiency, and mobility improvements, with policies tailored to each site’s unique challenges. Key priorities include carbon footprint reduction, resource preservation, and ISO 50001 certification for energy performance by 2026, alongside a 2030 decarbonization plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
The company is implementing targeted measures to address climate adaptation and environmental performance, with regular monitoring of indicators such as carbon emissions, energy consumption, and professional travel. A notable initiative involves reducing domestic air travel by promoting train use where feasible. Site-specific projects include environmental training, pollution response capabilities, and urban heat network connections to lower heating and hot water carbon footprints, demonstrating localized approaches to sustainability.
At Brest, a pollution-cleaning robot, D-POL, was tested to collect macro-waste and hydrocarbons, while the site advances urban heat network integration. Lorient has established an environmental culture working group, planted a mini-forest, and installed waste capture systems in stormwater networks. Paris installed ‘Ici commence la mer’ macarons to raise awareness about waste entering waterways, and Ollioules hosted a ‘Mai à vélo’ challenge to encourage cycling.
In Nantes-Indret, a cross-functional environmental community organized awareness events, including a focus on Naval Reuse to promote reuse practices and reduce waste. Toulon developed a mobile, pollution-free paint-stripping device and expanded cycling initiatives, earning a Pro-Vélo Gold Employer label. Additionally, the site partnered with FabBRICK to repurpose over 300 worn work uniforms into 3,000+ textile bricks for a 15-meter mural, combining circular economy principles with improved workspace aesthetics.
