Protection of Water Resources and aquatic environments, and preservation of air quality

Aubert & Duval sites are committed to minimising the impact of their activities on water resources and aquatic environments:

by optimising water consumption, notably favouring closed-loop systems to recycle water,
through the implementation of rational water management plans (Drought Management Plans) to preserve water resource availability,
by equipping sites with waste-water treatment systems.

Aubert & Duval sites are committed to reducing their atmospheric emissions by focusing on the most significant sources of impact.
They are developing measurement tools to qualify or quantify emissions, along with treatment and capture systems for those particulates.

Our quantitative goals for 2028:

-21%

cumulative water consumption reduction across our factories
98%

compliance with our water and air emissions
