Rostaing, a leading name in protective gloves, has been honoured at the Milipol Innovation Awards 2023 in the CSR category. The firm’s innovative approach to calculating products’ environmental footprint highlights their commitment to sustainability.

Environmental footprint system

In response to the urgent need for climate action and resource conservation, Rostaing has implemented an advanced system to measure the environmental impact of their products. Developed in collaboration with La Belle Empreinte, this system evaluates 16 criteria, including the CO² equivalent weight of a product’s lifecycle and the amount of water required for its manufacture. By quantifying these factors, Rostaing aims to minimise their environmental footprint and contribute to global sustainability efforts.

Commitment to climate action

Rostaing’s initiative represents a significant step in the fight against climate change. By understanding and reducing the CO² emissions and water consumption associated with their products, the company is actively working to lower greenhouse gas emissions. This proactive approach not only demonstrates the firm’s leadership in the safety gear industry but also sets a precedent for other companies to follow.

Sustainable practices

The system developed by La Belle Empreinte allows Rostaing to assess the environmental impact of each product in detail. By considering factors such as energy consumption, material sourcing, and waste generation, the company can make informed decisions to enhance sustainability. This meticulous analysis ensures that Rostaing’s products are not only high-performing but also environmentally responsible.

As the firm continues to innovate in the field of protective gear, their commitment to sustainability remains a core focus. The company plans to further refine their environmental footprint system, integrating new technologies and practices to reduce their ecological impact. By leading the way in sustainable manufacturing, Rostaing is helping to create a more resilient and sustainable future for all.
