Snecma was one of the first companies in the SAFRAN Group to launch a continuous improvement initiative and certify all production sites to ISO 14001.
Snecma pays particular attention to waste processing. All company facilities have developed selective sorting, along with preventive actions to reduce waste at the source, and thus decrease the overall amount of waste produced. Based on these measures, Snecma has been able to double the amount of recycled waste in just four years.
We also focus on economizing water resources, and have made a commitment to recovering and recycling wastewater from our plants. Today, the volume of reused water is ten times greater than the volume of non-recycled water.
From the energy standpoint, each facility has a monitoring plan to guarantee optimum use and emissions from its boilers. We have also invested in three co-generation units.
In addition, we have undertaken studies and analyses to assess and monitor the quality of the water table and soil condition at our industrial sites. Snecma applies preventive actions at all sites where this is needed to manage the risks of possible pollution.
