Protection of the environment has been at the heart of its concerns since the beginning and there was a reason why the founding fathers chose an evocative catch phase for the first French technopole: " a green belt for grey matter " ( " zone verte pour matière grise " ) . Since then, industrialists and their partners multiplied actions aiming at optimising the relationships between individuals and their environment in all aspects such as: waste management, preservation of resources, transport improvement, etc.
Therefore, an Environmental Management policy started naturally in 2002 as per the reference document of standard Iso 14001.

With a view to add another step in its commitment with respect to the planet, inovallée launched a Sustainable Development Charter , which is now applied across the entire technopole. Its goal: making the signing companies committed to the development of a general eco-attitude, in the scope of a continuous improvement approach.
Management of consumptions notably in terms of energy, optimisation of resources, limitation of environmental impacts, decrease and recycling of their waste, but also compliance with the fundamental human rights, such are the main foundations of a corporate social responsibility that the inovallée companies will be greatly encouraged to follow.
