For each of the identified challenges, we have defined concrete and measurable objectives, which are aligned with Fabemi's culture and values. »

A long-term sustainable development strategy 

Each year, Fabemi sets objectives to advance its CSR commitment through a multitude of actions addressing environmental, social, and societal challenges. The measures implemented aim to fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the UN in its 2030 Agenda.  

EENVIRONMENTAL GAMES  

Fabemi is particularly careful to reduce its impact on the environment by implementing: the control and improvement of its energy consumption, the treatment and recovery of waste, as well as the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from all of its activities.

Fabemi has completed a new carbon emissions accounting exercise using the ADEME carbon footprint methodology. The initial results confirm consistency with the decarbonization strategy implemented in 2022, which set a target of reducing the intensity of emissions by approximately 9% compared to the baseline. This target has been largely exceeded : in 2023, Fabemi's emissions decreased by 15,6%, reaching 108 ktCO₂e, against 128 ktCO₂e in 2022.

The Group's main objectives are :

• Managing energy consumption and efficiency in its activities by limiting the energy consumption of its industrial and administrative sites, by integrating low carbon impact raw materials into its production processes, and by selecting logistics partners with a responsible approach.
• Treating and recycling waste by reducing waste production at each stage of the production chain, by recovering as much waste as possible generated by its activities, and by assuming responsibility for the management of its products until their end of life.
• Controlling one's environmental impact by carrying out an annual carbon footprint assessment, by developing innovative, sustainable and increasingly environmentally friendly solutions, and by guaranteeing transparency regarding the environmental impact of its products by providing FDES.

SOCIAL ISSUES 

Fabemi's social commitment consists of forging a common vision, where each employee builds strong ties, creating a team spirit, essential to collective success. 

In this area, the Group's main objectives are:

• Keeping Fabemi culture alive by encouraging internal mobility and stimulating career development, as well as facilitating inter-site communication to strengthen the sense of belonging.
• Collaborating together by prioritizing job stability, supporting its employees in their skills development, fully investing in the support of its apprentices, and prioritizing skills transfer.
• Promoting health, safety and quality of life at work by providing regular training on the specific risks of each position, by involving all employees in risk prevention and by working to ensure that they feel good in their work environment.
   

SOCIETAL ISSUES 

Fabemi works daily to build a responsible future. By integrating sustainable practices, supporting local communities, and meeting customer expectations, the company supports a model that goes beyond mere financial profits. 

In this area, the Group's main objectives are:

• Ensuring a high-quality customer experience in complete safety by facilitating exchanges and optimizing the customer journey, by guaranteeing the IT security of stakeholders, and by developing solutions to reduce the arduousness of its customers' work.
• Developing a responsible business model by guaranteeing its customers products made in France, by raising awareness among sales teams about ethical rules, and by ensuring responsible behavior from its suppliers.
• To have a positive impact on one's territory by prioritizing the hiring of local workers, maintaining the territorial network and supporting the French economy by selecting suppliers based in the territory and local partners.

Fabemi is currently working on its 2025-2030 strategy, with a longer-term vision extending to 2035. This approach aims to strengthen its commitment to sustainable development. The company is defining concrete objectives to reduce its emissions, optimize resource use, and promote responsible practices.
