- The company's sustainable development policy is shared with local stakeholders.
- The plant has appointed a sustainable development referent.
- The plant has drawn up a strategy for adapting its operations and an action plan to address the environmental risks to which it is exposed.
- The establishment implements awareness-raising initiatives on environmental protection and sustainable development for professionals and patients.
- For each type of waste, we have set up a waste stream and follow the traceability procedure.
- The facility facilitates waste sorting for professionals (easy-to-access sorting garbage cans for different types of waste, and posters explaining sorting rules).
Observation
