Across our Distribution network, we are gradually implementing a series of initiatives to reduce
our environmental impact.

Transport optimization

>> In Belgium we reduced by 13% the mileage travelled between 2008 and 2010, by reorganizing routes.
>> Switzerland gathers orders to reduce frequency of transportation, and uses vans with A/B ecological rankings.
>> Poland uses mainly diesel cars equipped with Eco systems.
>> Hungary's (Lapker) footprint was decreased by 8 % in 2010 (1.000.000 km less after transport route optimization, equivalent of - 250 000 kg of CO2).

Waste management

>> All distribution companies are achieving 99% recycling rate dealing with unsold copies
>> In North America, our new processes in our packaging system for press parcels enables us to phase-out the use of board packaging and he have been able to reduce the recyclable waste produced to 20% of the previous levels.

Energy savings

In Belgium, we are using exclusively hydroelectricity or wind energy since 2010. Our moving to a new HQE building has reduced by 20% its energetic consumption using thermal insulation, external platforms, electronic controlling.
