This global policy and continuous progress - “ Sustainability 2015 ” - concerns all stages of the drug's life cycle: reduction of water and energy consumption, control of waste management, reduction of packaging, grouping of orders. to optimize deliveries. Greenhouse Gas Balance (GHG) Since 2009, Bristol-Myers Squibb has gradually extended the Bilan Carbone ® approach to all of its sites: Rueil-Malmaison head office, medical examination activity, Agen site and drug distribution activity. This approach has notably contributed to revising the employee travel policy, to training our itinerant employees in eco-driving and to introducing “carbon” criteria in vehicle tenders. Since October 2011, Bristol-Myers Squibb has provided its employees based at Headquarters with a zero-CO² electric vehicle free of charge for their business trips in the Paris region. Following the carbon footprint of the production and distribution sites, various works and investments have been launched. For example: blanket, insulation, more energy efficient lighting, etc. Water consumption Water consumption is optimized by modifying certain production tools and optimizing certain manufacturing processes. Waste treatment and material recovery The optimization of sorting and recovery systems in Agen and Rueil, as well as the reduction of supplier packaging by modifying packaging, results in a reduction in the waste produced. A sorting platform created in 2009 in Agen, integrating in the process in addition to metals and paper / cardboard, glass, plastics and green waste, has made it possible to significantly improve the recycling rate. ISO 14001 and HQE certification ISO 14001 environmental certification is regularly confirmed at the Agen and Fontenay sites. Since 2010, Bristol-Myers Squibb has renewed its “High Environmental Quality Operation” certification each year for the building housing the French and European headquarters. "Le Cristalia" thus stands out as one of the four best sites in France for environmental operating methods and associated good practices, among those certified. Global Go Green Program Launched in 2009, the “Go Green” program aims to make the 27,000 employees of the company aware of everyday eco-actions, so as to bring about changes in individual and collective behavior. It helps to share good initiatives between the various sites where Bristol-Myers Squibb is present around the world, but also to carry out joint projects in order to reduce its ecological footprint. Biodiversity In France, four beehives appeared at “Le Cristalia” Headquarters in 2011: from the first year, employees were able to benefit from the first harvest of 160kg of honey, potted by an ESAT. On a voluntary basis, employees who so wish can also follow beekeeping training. © 2014 Bristol-Myers Squibb France Your use of information on this site is subject to the terms of our Legal Notice and Privacy Policy .
