Turning commitments into positive impact

"Lasting progress is achieved through humility, determination and collective action."
Grégory Le Coënt, CEO

For nearly ten years, sustainability has progressively shaped the way we think, innovate and grow at Wirquin. Through our Smart For Good approach, we turn this shared commitment into action across three pillars: Environment, Social and Governance.

We continue to reduce our environmental footprint, develop eco-designed solutions, grow our talents and strengthen responsible practices across our value chain.

In 2025, our carbon footprint decreased by 20% compared with 2022. There is still much to do. Step by step, through collective action, we combine innovation, industrial performance and responsibility to create lasting value for our customers, employees, partners and future generations.

Responsible Consumption

Responsible water consumption

Toilets account for around 40% of your total water usage. By installing a water-saving mechanism, you can save up to 21 liters per person daily.

Repairability

We design durable and repairable products with readily available spare parts, extending their lifespan and reducing environmental impact.

Sustainability

More than just products, we design long-lasting solutions that embody excellence, repairability, and a strong commitment to a more sustainable future.

Responsible Production

Preservation of Resources

We strive to use an increasing share of recycled materials in manufacturing our products, while also optimizing water management at our production sites.

Resource Management

Wirquin is committed to reducing its energy consumption by prioritizing sustainable alternatives: installing solar panels and LED lighting, signing green energy contracts, improving building insulation, and more.

Eco-Responsible Packaging

Fully aware of our responsibility when it comes to packaging, we are redesigning our packaging solutions to reduce our environmental impact. We favour recycled and recyclable materials and aim to eliminate unnecessary packaging.

Carbon Footprint 2025

In 2025, we conducted our second full-scope carbon assessment, covering Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions across the Group. This helps us measure our progress and identify where action can have the greatest impact.
Key figures:
- 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions since 2022
- 42.0 ktCO₂e total carbon footprint in 2025
- 55.7 tCO₂e per employee
- 1.4 kgCO₂e per unit sold
- 77%** of emissions linked to purchasing and energy consumption

This reduction reflects progress across key emission sources, including purchasing, energy, transport and travel.

Taking action, step by step.
Our climate transition approach focuses on improving energy performance, working with suppliers, increasing the use of recycled materials, integrating eco-design, optimising packaging and reducing transport-related impacts.

We are continuing our step-by-step decarbonisation journey, based on reliable data, concrete actions and continuous improvement across our operations and value chain.

Responsible Social Actions

Charity Project : A Long-Term Solidarity Commitment

Since 2015, Wirquin has partnered with charitable organizations to support
solidarity projects aligned with its values and purpose. Driven by employees,
the Charity Project reflects the Group’s commitment to improving the lives of
vulnerable communities. Through fundraising initiatives across all subsidiaries,
Wirquin supports NGOs working on three key priorities related to hygiene,
health and human dignity :
- Access to water, a vital resource for life and health
- Support for children, promoting safer and healthier living conditions
- Access to sanitation, ensuring toilets for all around the world

Since 2017, Wirquin has partnered with 'Un Enfant par la Main', an association that finances and implements sanitation projects, including the construction of handwashing facilities, toilets and latrines, particularly in schools.

Through this long-term partnership, Wirquin contributes to improving access to hygiene and sanitation for children and local communities.

Key figures
- **€55,000 raised**
- **11 projects supported**
- **8 countries involved**

Inclusion and Diversity:

We strive to create an inclusive workplace where everyone can contribute, develop their skills and build their career. We promote equal opportunities throughout the employee journey, from recruitment and career development to accessibility and well-being.

In France, we support the employment and inclusion of people with disabilities through partnerships with adapted organisations. Wirquin works with the AMIPI Foundation, which supports people with cognitive disabilities through work-based learning and professional development. We also work with ASI Prod and Manea, whose workshops are integrated into Wirquin’s premises, creating opportunities to work in an adapted environment and develop professional skills.

Through these concrete actions, Wirquin is strengthening inclusion and equal opportunities across the Group.
