SUSTAINABILITY & RESPONSIBILITY (S&R) PROTECTING THE PLANET

waste arising from the transformation of farm raw materials (grape ● marc, stalks, sediment, etc.). Only those items sent to landfill or for incineration are considered as waste, with the other fractions being recovered as by-products (primarily animal feed); waste produced by the site’s activities (sludge from treatment plants, ● office waste, green waste, etc.). In FY18, the Group’s production sites generated 37,242 tonnes of hazardous solid waste, compared to 33,993 tonnes in FY17 (waste collected from sites during the year). Of this, 35,729 tonnes were recycled using various processes, equivalent to a recycling rate of 96%, and 765 tonnes were incinerated. In addition, 748 tonnes had to be landfilled, compared with 10,253 tonnes in FY10: the Group’s goal is to move towards zero landfill waste by 2020. Another indicator used to measure the final impact of waste on the environment is the quantity of non-recycled (landfilled or incinerated) waste per litre of finished product. Since FY10, this has fallen by 83%, demonstrating the efforts made by the affiliates to reduce the quantity of waste generated and identify recovery processes.

Group plants also generate some hazardous waste that requires the use of a specific treatment process because of the environmental risks that it presents: empty chemical product containers, used oils, solvents, electrical and electronic waste, neon tubes, batteries, etc. All this waste is sorted and sent to appropriate treatment processes when they exist locally. In FY18, the volume of hazardous waste collected was 505 tonnes, compared to 246 tonnes in FY17. It should be noted that this figure represents the volume of waste collected, but not necessarily the amount of waste generated throughout the year, as due to its small quantity, this waste is most often stored on site for a certain amount of time. In addition, this waste may also be generated during ad hoc cleaning operations. For these reasons, this data item is not strictly speaking a performance indicator for the current year.
