At LACROIX, our Positive Impact strategy is driven by the conviction that technology must serve the ecological transition—provided it proves both its usefulness and sustainability.
We don’t pursue innovation for its own sake. Instead, we take a targeted, pragmatic approach: every product we design must actively contribute to building more sustainable living ecosystems through connected technologies that are useful, robust, and secure.
To translate our environmental commitment into a strategic and operational reality, we focus on four key pillars:
1 – Grow positive impact business
100% of LACROIX Environment activity solutions have a positive impact.
This means that the difference between the environmental or social benefits they provide (such as energy and water savings, avoided greenhouse gas emissions, etc.) and the footprint associated with their production and use is, therefore, significantly positive.
To accurately measure the impact of our solutions, we have developed a tool to quantify these benefits.
2 – Design eco-efficient solutions
LACROIX aims to become a key player in eco-design across our markets by 2030.
With the goal of having 100% of new products eco-designed by 2025, we are committed to systematically integrating environmental considerations from the very first stages of product development.
LACROIX goes beyond regulatory requirements for eco-design.
Since 2024, we have been conducting life cycle analyses and, furthermore, producing an eco-design report for all new products.
3 – Run sustainable operations
We commit to reducing the environmental footprint of all our operations.
LACROIX integrate eco-responsible practices at every stage of our value chain and across all Group sites. It includes our factories and internal processes.
We have taken concrete measures to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, relying on targets aligned with the Paris Agreement and validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative.
4 – Commit to our people & act locally
Respect for fundamental human rights is at the heart of our values. This is reflected in our constant commitment to valuing our employees and ensuring their daily well-being.
