Deploying a low-carbon and biodiversity strategy to help protect the environment
Climate change and biodiversity loss are critical environmental and social issues. Aware of these challenges, SCALP has engaged in in-depth strategic reflection to explore solutions aimed at reducing its environmental impact, such as joining the ECOVADIS program.
This commitment has just been rewarded with the ECOVADIS bronze medal, underlining SCALP's efforts in terms of social and environmental responsibility. ECOVADIS is an evaluation platform that measures the performance of companies according to environmental, social and governance criteria. By participating in this initiative, SCALP commits to a process of monitoring and continuous improvement of its practices, covering key areas such as resource management, reduction of CO₂ emissions, optimization of production processes and compliance with social and ethical standards. This approach enables SCALP to set ambitious sustainability targets.
This approach is part of a global drive to reduce carbon emissions and preserve biodiversity, while contributing to the fight against climate change and the protection of natural ecosystems on its own scale.
Understanding the challenges of climate change
Climate change is impacting SCALP’s markets, limiting certain traditional activities while opening up new business opportunities. To meet these challenges, an in-depth analysis of the risks and opportunities associated with climate change has been carried out at company level. The results of this analysis are being taken into account in our overall strategy and business development outlook.
To make this strategic transition a success, it seems essential to raise awareness among all SCALP employees. Training courses and days dedicated to environmental and climate issues are planned to ensure that every member of the team can understand and get involved in this sustainable development approach.
Involving stakeholders and promoting our commitments
SCALP is also keen to establish a solid, structured relationship with its stakeholders, in order to co-construct sustainable solutions within its ecosystem. CSR is thus seen as a genuine strategic lever. This approach is based on listening carefully to our customers’ expectations, and on promoting our CSR commitment to our customers and partners.
Innovating and promoting low-carbon methods and solutions
With a view to reducing our carbon footprint, we are constantly exploring the use of low- carbon products and techniques, developed thanks to our research and development. This ongoing reflection includes increasing the use of plant-based and biosourced raw materials.
This is reflected in the promotion of our EKO’R RANGE products, through sales initiatives and customer proposals.
Reducing the environmental impact of our business
SCALP is committed to minimizing the impact of its research, manufacturing and marketing activities. This approach leads us to explore initiatives and strategies to reduce our ecological impact while improving our industrial processes. The purchase of a fleet of hybrid vehicles is one example.

Optimizing manufacturing processes for sustainable production
SCALP is conducting a strategic review to improve the energy efficiency of its production site. This approach explores advanced technological solutions likely to optimize industrial processes, reduce energy consumption and, consequently, limit greenhouse gas emissions.
With this in mind, SCALP is investing in modern equipment, including a state-of-the-art production line, to reduce environmental impact while increasing productivity. These investments are aimed at improving the energy performance of installations, minimizing losses and ensuring more sustainable operation over the long term.
These initiatives are part of a global strategy to reduce our carbon footprint, while seeking levers to improve our competitiveness and optimize our energy costs. By adopting these new technologies, SCALP is committed to taking a further step towards more responsible production.
Our commitment to transparent and responsible marketing
SCALP is committed to transparency with regard to its customers and partners concerning the environmental impact of its products. Trust and credibility, essential to our relationships, are built on open and constructive communication. With this in mind, we seek to share clear and detailed information about our sustainability initiatives and the potential environmental benefits of our solutions.
SCALP is exploring different avenues for the development and marketing of more environmentally-friendly products. The aim is to meet growing consumer expectations while maintaining high quality standards. Our R&D teams are part of a dynamic of continuous innovation, studying technologies and processes likely to reduce CO₂ emissions and other pollutants, while ensuring performance and efficiency.
Employee awareness and training for an active environmental commitment
At SCALP, our employees play a central role in our thinking around sustainability. In order to facilitate the gradual adoption of best environmental practices, the importance of staff training has been emphasized. With this in mind, the introduction of dedicated training courses on topics such as waste reduction, energy efficiency and the responsible use of resources is one of the avenues being explored.
In-house initiatives, such as waste reduction awareness campaigns or recycling programs, could also encourage the emergence of innovative ideas in the field of sustainability.
Attracting, developing and retaining talent while respecting diversity
Attracting and recruiting tomorrow's talent is one of SCALP's key social responsibility challenges. To meet this challenge, SCALP promotes working conditions that foster the health, safety and well-being of its employees. The company is also considering approaches to promote diversity and inclusion, while developing strategies to encourage the development of its employees' skills and careers.
Attracting and integrating talent through an inclusive and dynamic work environment
To attract talent, SCALP promotes attractive working conditions, aimed not only at ensuring the safety and well-being of employees, but also at fostering a corporate culture that values diversity, inclusion and mutual respect. We aim to create an environment where everyone can grow professionally through personal and career development programs tailored to their aspirations.
Integrating new employees is a key step in ensuring their long-term success within the company. With this in mind, we are planning to set up structured programs enabling a gradual immersion in our values, processes and expectations. This approach is designed to facilitate their adaptation and encourage the development of strong relationships within the team.
Strategic investment in employees' professional and personal development
At SCALP, skills and career development are part of an ongoing process designed to support employees in their professional evolution. Ongoing training, exploring both technical and personal skills, is envisaged to best prepare for future challenges. Internal mobility and career development opportunities are also being considered, to meet individual aspirations while taking into account the company’s needs.
Mentoring appears to be an interesting avenue for fostering an environment conducive to knowledge sharing and mutual growth. Through these reflections, SCALP aspires to offer a framework that values continuous learning and encourages each employee to develop his or her full potential.
Cultivating a good working environment for personal fulfillment and productivity
Aware of the importance of our employees’ well-being, we encourage a harmonious work- life balance. This includes flexible policies, such as teleworking where appropriate, as well as actions to promote employees’ physical and mental well-being. With this in mind, SCALP has also created a dedicated relaxation area, including a petanque court available to our employees. This space allows everyone to relax and spend time together, reinforcing conviviality and cohesion within the team.
Consolidating a culture of health for all
Health and safety are key priorities for SCALP, as they directly affect the lives of our employees. By reducing health and accident risks, we aim to protect everyone who interacts with our business.
Our ambition is to establish a global health and safety culture across all our operations. This involves setting rigorous standards, continually training our teams in best safety practices, and adopting innovative technologies to prevent accidents and promote safe, healthy working environments.
By consolidating this culture within SCALP, we aim not only to comply with the most stringent regulatory standards, but also to inspire trust and respect among our stakeholders, while actively contributing to the sustainability and social responsibility of our company.
Reinforcing our health and safety culture with a "zero accident" objective
Consolidating the health and safety culture for all our stakeholders is a priority. We are aiming for an ambitious goal of “zero accidents”, which requires a proactive and integrated approach at all levels of our company. With this in mind, we are seeking to develop a corporate culture that is increasingly focused on safety. To support this dynamic, regular training and awareness programs are envisaged, with the aim of enabling our teams to better grasp best safety practices. To this end, exercises are carried out with the BSPP (Brigade Sapeur Pompier de Paris).
Training and awareness-raising at the heart of our strategy
Ongoing training programs and awareness campaigns play an important role in implementing SCALP’s strategy. These initiatives are designed to help employees understand and eventually adopt best safety practices, according to their role within the company.
- Adapted training: SCALP aims to offer training courses that take into account different levels of responsibility and types of position, including information on safety procedures, personal protective equipment, first aid and accident prevention techniques, as required.
- Ongoing training: SCALP aims to invest in training programs to update employees’ skills and reinforce their understanding of new potential hazards and safety innovations.
- Awareness campaigns: In addition to technical training, SCALP plans to organize awareness campaigns on specific safety-related topics. The aim of these campaigns is to inform employees about common risks, safe behavior and the importance of prevention.
In addition, every year SCALP is actively involved in health awareness initiatives. In support of Pink October and Movember, we make financial donations and organize awareness-raising events for our employees. These actions aim to inform the whole team about the issues surrounding breast and male cancers, while supporting these important causes through internal collections and events.
