Raising awareness of climate change issues to mobilise employees

To achieve this awareness-raising objective, the day was marked by the screening of a documentary film explaining the concept of planetary limits. These are 9 thresholds that cannot be exceeded without endangering our species.

Afterwards, glaciologist and writer Jean Krug, explained how scientists who are experts in the cryosphere determine that current global warming is anthropogenic (created by humans), and what the consequences of this disruption will be on glaciers, atmospheric temperature, the water cycle and therefore living beings.

The conference was followed by a presentation by Jean-François Campens, Chairman of WESSLING France, outlining the practical steps we have taken to move society towards a more sustainable future. In Lyon, Mario Deserable, Chairman of neighbouring TETRADIS, which is also involved in the Businesses for Climate Convention, was invited to talk about his company's experience and action plan.

To round off the morning, a number of members of the CSR collective launched in 2023 took the stage to talk about their experience and the projects carried out in the CSR context.

A convivial meal offered by the company and with a strong plant-based component was served at lunchtime.

In the afternoon, our 7 in-house “Fresqueurs” facilitated a “Climate Fresk” for 58 employees.
