SIDAS

Sidas works on its product eco-design approach via the Ecotech label for soles and socks, which measures the share of recycled material in the product design. This still represents only a small part of the range (<20% of products). In its objective of reducing CO2 emissions, Sidas works from the design stage to limit the distance traveled by the product (transform the material in the country of production when possible, shorten the distance between the place of production and marketing). . The packaging is also designed to be minimalist (less bulky, lighter), and is made from recycled cardboard. "

More than half of SIDAS products are manufactured in Europe as close as possible to the place where the products are marketed, in order to reduce unnecessary transport flows. Air transport is restricted, sea transport is preferred for long distances. The relationship with suppliers is based on a code of good conduct that is regularly updated to control the social conditions of production.

SIDAS is part of Sidas World, and therefore shares its CSR strategy with Therm-ic. CSR governance has been put in place and clear objectives are shared within the company. Beyond reducing CO2 emissions by 21%, the company acts to preserve and rehabilitate ecosystems via the Sidas World Foundation, which notably supports natural carbon capture projects (via forests, wetlands, etc.). ). Finally, we can note a real concrete policy of diversity in hiring, equal opportunities and inclusion for people with disabilities.
