Servier goes further…
- 58% reduction in water consumption at the Arklow site after 3 years of elimination of water loss and improvements.
- The Madrid site re-uses water from its purified water treatment plant for the watering of its green spaces, thereby saving close to 3 million liters of water every year.
- Involvement of employees in a plan to reduce tap water consumption at Oril Industrie.
- 20% reduction in consumption at the Nouasseur (Morocco) and Warsaw (Poland) sites.
