Combating Climate Change

What is climate change?

It is the change in the climate due to natural or human factors. This variation is essentially due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere, such as CO2, methane, nitrogen oxide, CFC, HCFC, etc. The phenomena observed or forecast are the rise in sea levels, the modification of precipitation patterns leading to an increase in droughts and flooding, and the increase in dramatic climatic events (storms, hurricanes and heat waves) at regional level.

How to combat climate change?

Canson® monitors energy consumption and the emissions associated with its activities. Any reported reduction measures must be presented alongside measurable results, a reference year and the scope concerned. The proximity of the Moulin du Roy and Grand-Mûrier sites (France, Ardèche) may be stated factually, specifying the distance between them and the flows concerned.

What are our commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

Canson® incorporates defined environmental criteria into its supplier assessments and, where relevant, seeks to reduce certain transport distances.
