Environmental policy - Groupe Péna

Accueil » Environmental policy

“My passion for botany led me to direct the company’s waste recycling efforts towards the environmental protection markets. We have gained and continue to gain a greater share of the recycling market every day.

I wanted the company to commit to an environmental protection approach: it is our job, but is also our responsibility.

I also wanted to initiate a prevention approach in order to preserve the health and safety of all.

Our QSSE Policy forms the basis of our management system. It is reviewed according to the evolving requirements of customers, the company and other interested parties. Everyone is familiar with it and everyone is committed to upholding it. It is displayed and communicated to all new employees, who are all told about the importance of meeting the requirements of customers and other interested parties.

I have pledged to implement our QSSE management system and to make every effort to actively contribute to its development and continuous improvement. We exist because of our customers, they are our raison d’être.

I have pledged to continue to spread the importance of customer culture among my staff. I have also pledged to maintain our process of continuous improvement in all we do.”

Marc PÉNA – Chairman and CEO
