At Norbec, sustainable development is an evolving process, guided by the desire to build an ethical and environmentally friendly future. For you, for our customers, for our partners, and above all, for those who will come after us.
Our Commitment
Our approach aims to reduce our environmental impact by relying on data, concrete actions, and structured governance, then to strengthen our social responsibility and increase the transparency of our progress.
Our Impact
We seek to better understand and reduce our environmental impact. Carbon footprint assessment, production waste reduction, composting, and continuous improvement of our processes guide our actions in a concrete manner that is tailored to our manufacturing reality.
Our People
Sustainable development includes the people who work with us and those around us. Norbec supports charitable organizations and community initiatives, while promoting a respectful work environment governed by clear internal practices and policies.
Innovate and Produce Sustainably
We are evolving our manufacturing processes to reduce waste, optimize resource use, and improve the efficiency of our operations. These improvements are based on concrete adjustments in our factories, continuous analysis of our practices, and innovation aligned with our manufacturing reality.
These efforts support the performance of our products and can contribute to the energy efficiency of the buildings in which they are installed. They can also support projects targeting environmental certifications, such as LEED, according to applicable criteria.
LEED: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
We manufacture products designed to meet high standards of quality and performance. They contribute to reliable and safe buildings that are fit for purpose, providing occupants with functional and sustainable environments.
The technical characteristics of our products can contribute to obtaining points in projects aiming for LEED® certification, according to the applicable criteria.
This approach is part of a vision of long-term performance and sustainability for buildings.
Giving Back to The Community
We care deeply about the future of the next generations and are proud to give back to the community by supporting local causes and initiatives that affect us directly or indirectly. From sporting challenges that encourage young people to be physically active to sponsorships of student events, we support future generations.
At Norbec, we place particular importance on the quality of the workplace. Our practices aim to promote respect, collaboration, and employee engagement, notably through:
• Diversity and inclusion
