Telemecanique Sensors Sustainability Commitments

At Telemecanique Sensors, we are dedicated to fostering a sustainable future through our commitment to environmental, health, safety, ethic and social responsibility. Our century-long culture reflects our approach based on continuous improvement, ethics and accountability.

As part of the YAGEO Group, the Sustainability Council ensures compliance with environmental legislation and continuous improvement of our Environmental, Health, and Safety Management System. 

We focus on key areas that align with global sustainability challenges: 

• We adopt and follow the YAGEO code of conduct , and the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) code of conduct  
• We commit to prevent occupational injury and illness, to uphold the human rights of employees and to treat them with dignity and respect, to obey the environment laws and regulations, to conduct business operation with ethics, to ensure  fair labor practices and respect human rights throughout our operations and supply chain including safe working conditions and prohibiting child and forced labor. Finally, we commit to emphasize continuous improvement. 
• We expect all our suppliers of Conflict Affected Minerals to comply with the RBA Code of Conduct and adopt a responsible supply chain management. 

Telemecanique Sensors is committed to environmental protection through, resource recycling, and sustainable business practices: 

• We minimize the environmental impact of our products throughout their entire life cycle, from pollution prevention and hazardous substances management to end-of-life management
• We deploy Ecodesign principles to optimize the product environmental footprint. We conduct Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) on selected products to comprehensively evaluate their environmental impacts across all life cycle stages. This data-driven approach allows us to identify areas for improvement and develop more sustainable products. That allows us to develop and publish Product Environmental Profile for our key ranges of products. 

We are committed to the sustainable protection of people and the environment, recognizing our role in addressing climate change and preserving vital ecosystems. We are implementing a comprehensive strategy to reduce our carbon footprint and achieve net zero scopes 1 and 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 2050

Supply Chain Policy: 

As part of the YAGEO group, it is our goal to source Conflict Affected Minerals in a manner which will not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo and its adjoining countries, or in any region determined to be a conflict affected and high risk area (CAHRA) as defined in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD Guidance), which include any entities therein. 

We will immediately discontinue doing business with any supplier found to be purchasing materials which directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in these regions.

The conflict mineral policy is communicated to all suppliers through either purchase agreements or Telemecanique Sensors  purchase order terms and conditions.
