PROCESSES AND SUPPLY CHAIN INCORPORATING THE IDEA OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT -
Consistent with its environmental policy, PELLENC is implementing manufacturing processes which optimise this concept of sustainable development, in particular by incorporating them into the supply chain and logistics optimisation policies.
REDUCING AND OPTIMISING PACKAGING
OPTIMISING LOGISTICAL FLOWS
The PELLENC group has deployed a supply-chain policy aimed at cutting the quantity, volume and weight of packaging, in order to optimise the transport of goods and thus limit the environmental impact in terms of fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This policy also helps limit the direct impact of packaging on the environment (waste output).
From the design stage, PELLENC incorporates the dimensional constraints associated with transporting its machines, equipment and tools to make them as compact as possible, thus optimising transport volumes.
Individual packaging has been removed in favour of “bulk” wrapping for small, high-consumption supplies (screws and fittings, seals, etc.). This is also the case for medium-sized parts, which are not fragile, and are simply film-wrapped.
The group has invested in specialist software that maximises pallet capacity according to the destination, domestic and overseas, and takes internal (production) and external (distribution) flows into account. That software also calculates the optimal route for trucks to reach their delivery points. Together with improved packaging (bulk, skin pack, etc.), this has cut transport costs by 30% and reduced the associated environmental impact. Finally, PELLENC favours maritime groupage in order to charter containers more efficiently. This cooperative transport service with other companies enables optimum filling of containers, and thus limits the number of shipments.

A STRONG ECO-BUILDING POLICY -
PELLENC takes into account the impact of buildings and production on energy expenditure and the well-being of the teams working there.
REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION In terms of eco-building, the PELLENC group's policy operates at two levels: design of buildings, mainly aimed at keeping heat losses to a minimum and optimising energy and water consumption; production of energy reports to monitor the actual performance of the buildings. For example, the latest PELLENC eco-building projects (new 10,000 m2 factory at Jaen in Spain, refurbishment of the factory at Pertuis, a new PELLENC Morocco building) incorporate the following features: • High-efficiency condensing boilers; • Chilled water used (no greenhouse gases);
to
cool
buildings
• Solar power production (PV); • Automatic lighting controls; • And more.
Finally, PELLENC has produced an energy report showing that its eco-building policy is bearing fruit: measurements made on the head office buildings at Pertuis indicate energy consumption (electricity and heating) 28% (offices) to 80% (workshops) below average for buildings of comparable size in the same sector of activity as PELLENC (source: 2008 energy report – CEREN).
• Water treatment (separation and treatment of waste water, rainwater and hydrocarbons);
