Local actions

We are committed to contributing to environmental programs around the world. Here are some achievements resulting from site and employee efforts.

1) Reforestation programs in the USA and in Morocco.

2) Renewable energies
Solar thermic and photovoltaic panels have been installed on the rooves of some of our buildings around the world for example in Grenoble, France and Phoenix, USA as illustrated here.

3) ST has built a wind farm with 6 wind turbines in Opoul, south of France.

Our Rousset site has taken on the responsibility of managing it since 2006. The energy generated by this private farm is sold to EDF, the national electricity company, which reintegrates it into its own network. The main interest for ST is to demonstrate its support for the development of renewable energies.

4) Cleaning our environment
In 2006, the external local authority (Conseil General) held an  environmental day dedicated to the cleaning of the Loire river banks. (The Loire river is classified UNESCO heritage). Many Tours inhabitants participated in this project together with around 40 ST employees and their families.
