Environmental Achievements

• The Moulin Bois Energie plant is an ICPE (Classified Installation for Environmental Protection) with authorization. France Bois Impregnes sites are also ICPES with prefectural authorization, mainly under heading 2415 (wood preservation product). They have ISO 9000:2010 quality certification, CTA Bois+ wood treatment, and FSC sustainable management. Regular controls are performed by independent bodies to manage risks related to atmospheric emissions and noise pollution.

Social Achievements

• Increased volumes of activity through strengthened partnerships with strategic key accounts. Development of the marketing of garden furniture and outdoor landscaping products.

Governance Achievements

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Reduced activity in the Wood Construction sector (-8.1%) due to the voluntary withdrawal from less profitable segments (works management and wood construction projects by subsidiaries Technicbois Moulin and Lifeco Construction). Low conversion rate of projects and significant inertia between the study and implementation phases in the wood construction market.
• Increased competition from established players in the building sector.

Mitigation Strategies

• Strategic refocusing on the most profitable segments, developing the Energy sector and secondary processing activities (impregnation, planing, drying of sawn products), leading to a significant reduction in the number of wood construction projects in 2017.
• Diversification and expansion of the product range by Technicbois and Lifeco, along with additional human and material resources.
