reduce our operation's
environmental footprint
Our target :
-50% emission by 2030
At PILOT we monitor every stage of manufacturing process, indeed 67% of our C02 emissions are linked to the manufacturing our pen (raw material, component, energy…) and 25% of our emissions are linked to our upstream and downstream logistics.
Monitor risk among our value chain
and direct purchase towards
responsible sourcing.
The Responsible Procurement Policy is vital to our CSR approach, reflecting our commitment to integrate sustainable development principles across all business lines and promote them in partner relations.
Monitor risks among our value chain

Select the suppliers that are aligned with our responsible purchasing commitments
We asked our supplier to sign our responsible purchasing charter. In 2023, 65% signed it.
Assess & minimize our
production impact
We focus on key environmental impacts like waste, energy, and C02 emissions, closely monitoring and implementing efficient circular processes.
Environmental certified site
Our production site, located in France, has set up an environmental management system.
Saving energy in production
Our new electric presses have enabled us to cut energy consumption by 40% kW/press.
Our European factory uses 100% renewable electricity mainly from hydroelectric origin.
Reduce, reuse, recycle waste
Whenever possible we reduce and reuse our waste. Today, our recycled rate is at 85.3%
Between 2018 and 2023: -15% quantity of waste by product.
Water savings
In term of water savings, the plant retrats its process water in a closer loop system and has installed a rainwater collection tank.
Optimize our supply chain and
minimize its impact.
We are conscious of the major environmental impact of transport in our processes, and have thus set up an ambitious program for the optimization of our product flows
Optimising our logistics flows
The optimization of transport and stock volumes is key to the reduction of our CO2 emissions.
-85% of palets transported by flight between 2022 and 2023.
Choosing more sustainable transport options
We are now deploying barge or rail transport for deliveries from harbors, in order to limit pollution from trucks.
67% of our containers are transported by barge/rail, as against 52% in 2022.
