Nexans commits to carbon-neutrality by 2030

Nexans has committed to carbon-neutrality by 2030.

The company, which works in the power, telecomms and fiber optic cable sector, says this will involve a 4.2% average annual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions across the business.

It will recycle all of its production waste, dedicate 100% of research and development projects to energy efficiency and energy transition, install energy efficiency measures at all sites and optimise logistics.

The entirety of its employee automobile fleet will also be switched to either hybrid or electric vehicles and it will transition to 100% renewable energy use at all its facilities, whether this is generated onsite or bought from solar farms and wind facilities.

Christopher Guérin, CEO of Nexans, said: "Our commitment to carbon-neutrality concerns all aspects of our company, from manufacturing products, developing innovations and solutions, managing daily operations, to the use of raw materials and working habits.

"All Nexans teams are mobilised and fully engaged, both individually and collectively, as the success of our commitment is at the heart of our corporate management philosophy of 3P’s: People, Planet, Profit."
