Raising our customers' awareness of the environmental footprint of their orders<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Raising our customers' awareness is a key initiative in reducing the environmental footprint of the projects they assign to us, and indirectly the environmental footprint of Marotte itself.<\/p>

In 2024, we finalised the development of a carbon calculator dedicated to our business in collaboration with an engineering school. This enables us to share the estimated carbon footprint of a project with our customers right from the design phase. This objective data not only gives us a sense of responsibility, but also opens the door to discussions on potential alternatives: local wood species, water-based varnishes, paint-free cases, etc.<\/p>

This tool is gradually being developed into a full-scale life-cycle analysis to provide our customers with comprehensive information. In this way, environmental aspects can become decision-making criteria that are just as important as aesthetics or price.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Le bois est au c\u0153ur du fonctionnement de Marotte. Pour cette raison, notre d\u00e9marche d\u2019achats responsables se concentre notamment sur cette mati\u00e8re premi\u00e8re. Historiquement, Marotte s\u2019est toujours attach\u00e9e \u00e0 se fournir en bois locaux gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des partenariats de longue date nou\u00e9s avec des propri\u00e9taires et des exploitants forestiers. Cette approche se poursuit toujours aujourd\u2019hui : 90% des volumes de bois achet\u00e9s en 2023 provenaient de for\u00eats situ\u00e9es \u00e0 moins de 100 kilom\u00e8tres de notre usine. H\u00eatre, peuplier, tremble, ch\u00eane : toutes les essences fran\u00e7aises incontournables peuvent \u00eatre approvisionn\u00e9es localement par Marotte.<\/p>\n

Even if the labels have certain limitations, they give us access to relevant tracking information. In 2023, 83% of our wood volumes were PEFC certified. As far as possible, the Marotte team makes every effort to visit the forests from which the wood comes and to ensure that sustainable management is actually being implemented.<\/p>\n

Our aim for the future is to increase these volumes by continually raising our customers' awareness of the importance of using local wood.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Marotte is not simply a producer, but a partner in the development of its customers' projects. We believe it is our responsibility to offer the companies that place their trust in us solutions that reduce the environmental footprint of their products.<\/p>

This approach is akin to an ongoing research and development effort that takes all our processes into account. Here are just a few of the initiatives we have implemented:<\/p>
