Autogrill's commitment to sustainable development
As a socially responsible company, Autogrill is committed to the use of solutions which respect both the individual and the environment. So for the benefit of its customers and staff, for a long time already Autogrill has applied the principle of using processes and practical activities which contribute to the sustainable development of the company and its environment: recycling certain rubbish, controlling the use of natural resources, integrating its buildings within the local fabric, social policy and linking in to the recommendations of the French national nutrition & health plan.
Waste management for better recycling
Autogrill regularly works to reduce the volume of waste it generates, and organises sorting of its rubbish in collaboration with the ASF (the southern France motorway network), at the Nîmes Marguerittes nord service area on the A9 or the Vidauban Sud service area on the A8. Autogrill has also taken the idea of recycling its used cooking oil to its logical extent, by fully recycling this for the cosmetics industry.
The use of cleaning products with no impact on the environment
In the area of cleaning products, Autogrill operates a voluntary policy of reducing the risks for users, customers and the environment. Through partnership with SALVECO, Autogrill uses green chemical products. Thus the detergent used for sales areas and kitchens is a 100% biodegradable and hypoallergenic product. Autogrill was also involved in the "Create a flower for your environment" campaign ("Flower week" at European level) run by AFNOR, which was intended to raise awareness of the European Ecolabel.
