For information, the modes of transportation by waterway or rail avoided the circulation of approximately 48,500 trucks over the 2018/2019 fiscal year (based on each truck transporting 25 tons). The Poly-Environnement subsidiary (Public Sector Services) has continued investing in its own transportation for providing its services. The Active Stop-StartMC technology of the Quebec company Effenco (1) has therefore been deployed by several Parisian regions branches at a total investment of more than €1.7 million. This system is designed to cut the truck’s engine when it is immobile, whilst keeping its accessories and equipment operational, such as the container lifting and dumpster compaction systems. In general, these stops represent 40% to 50% of the vehicle’s usage time and thus enable a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, total investments by the Poly-Environnement subsidiary in natural gas, hybrid or electric vehicles amounted to almost €400,000 over the fiscal year. Business Services The Purchasing unit at Derichebourg Multiservices has listed three automotive suppliers who incorporate environmental factors. The vehicle fleet has more than 1,870 vehicles of which 70% are light commercial vehicles. Within Derichebourg Propreté, electric vehicles are used for some specific services such as transporting waste and short term operations, or are made available to employees for short journeys. 5% of Derichebourg Propreté’s fleet is electric vehicles. A review of the Business Services division's vehicle purchasing policy has been initiated in order to develop a car policy and a decision support tool to choose engines suitable for their uses, taking into account the environmental and regulatory constraints (low emissions zones, etc.).

Improve the local impact of facilities 1.5.2 Manage environmental risks 1.5.2.1 Through the rigorous management of incoming waste and daily maintenance of its facilities, Derichebourg Environnement ensures the prevention of environmental risks and pollution across its 216 industrial sites. Investments in environmental protection for the 2018/2019 fiscal year amounted to over €16 million, plus environment-related expenses of €3 million (analysis of waste, environmental discharges, maintenance, etc.), ensuring that the Group’s industrial plants comply with their regulatory requirements. Work on impermeable areas (concreted areas) and run-off water treatment are two important factors in limiting soil and waterway pollution. The Group pays particular attention to the proper maintenance of its infrastructures and undertakes repairs and restoration of concrete areas deteriorated by the passage of machinery every year. To ensure comprehensive management of environmental risks, the Group’s subsidiaries with industrial sites or specific customer requirements have committed to ISO 14001 certification of their environmental management systems, with the target of 100% of concerned sites certified by 2022. In line with this target, ESKA launched a triple QSE certification approach and has already obtained the certification for its 22 industrial sites in 2018. For its part, the REVIVAL subsidiary began the triple QSE certification process for 19 of its sites at the end of 2019. In this context, Derichebourg Environnement acquired an HSE monitoring and regulatory compliance IT tool in 2019.

Derichebourg Environnement has chosen to offer this technology across its equipment fleet as part of its future contracts. (1)
