March 21: International Day of Forests

The Bovis Group Committed to Responsible Resource Management

On the occasion of the International Day of Forests, celebrated each year on March 21, the Bovis Group reaffirms its commitment to Quality, Health, Safety & Environment (QHSE) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

Through concrete initiatives, the Group actively works to preserve forest resources and reduce the environmental impact of its operations.

Protecting Forests: A Key Challenge for Logistics Operations

Forests play a vital role in regulating the climate, preserving biodiversity, and providing renewable raw materials such as wood and paper. In the fields of specialized transport, heavy handling, and logistics, these materials are widely used, particularly for packaging, custom-built crates, and protective supports.

Recognizing the importance of this issue, the Bovis Group places the preservation of forest resources at the heart of its environmental strategy by focusing on both the selection of materials and their entire life cycle.

A Responsible Procurement Policy Supporting CSR

The Bovis Group works with carefully selected suppliers that are committed to recognized environmental standards. This approach is fully aligned with the Group's CSR policy, ensuring the traceability, sustainability, and responsible sourcing of the materials used throughout its operations.

Certified Suppliers for Sustainable Forest Management

The Group gives priority to partners holding environmental certifications such as PEFC, which guarantee sustainable forest management and full traceability of wood products.

This certification ensures that the materials used originate from responsibly managed forests, helping to protect forest ecosystems for future generations.

Recycling: A Key Driver for Preserving Natural Resources

Recycling is a central pillar of the Bovis Group's environmental policy. By promoting the recovery and recycling of materials used during its operations—particularly wood, paper, and packaging materials—the Group helps reduce the consumption of natural resources while minimizing waste generation.

This approach supports the principles of the circular economy, extending the life cycle of materials and encouraging their reuse in new production processes.

Reducing the Environmental Impact of Packaging

Beyond material selection, the Bovis Group also works closely with its suppliers to improve packaging practices.

Concrete actions include:

• Reducing packaging volumes and raw material consumption
• Reusing packaging whenever possible
• Recycling materials at the end of their life cycle
• Replacing high-impact packaging solutions with environmentally responsible alternatives
• Prioritizing renewable and bio-based materials

These commitments significantly reduce the environmental footprint of the Group's logistics activities.

An ISO 14001-Certified Environmental Management System

The Bovis Group's environmental commitment is structured and recognized through its ISO 14001 certification, the international benchmark for environmental management systems.

This certification demonstrates:

• Effective control of the environmental impacts of operations
• Continuous improvement of environmental performance
• Compliance with applicable environmental regulations
• Integration of environmental considerations into all operational processes

It reflects the Group's determination to embed environmental responsibility into every aspect of its business.

A QHSE Approach Integrated Across All Activities

The Bovis Group's QHSE policy extends well beyond its internal operations. It encompasses the entire value chain, including:

• Supplier selection
• Responsible material management
• Optimization of logistics flows
• Reduction of the environmental impact of services

This comprehensive approach ensures consistently high standards while meeting the expectations of customers and stakeholders alike.

The Bovis Group: Committed to Future Generations

Through its responsible purchasing policy, recycling initiatives, sustainable resource management, and partnerships with certified suppliers, the Bovis Group actively contributes to the preservation of forests.

On the occasion of the International Day of Forests, these initiatives reflect the Group's commitment to combining operational excellence with environmental responsibility and sustainable development.

Protecting forests is a shared responsibility that requires the commitment of all economic stakeholders. Through its QHSE policy, ISO 14001-certified environmental management system, and concrete recycling initiatives, the Bovis Group demonstrates that logistics expertise, technical excellence, and environmental responsibility can successfully go hand in hand.

By working with committed partners and adopting sustainable practices, the Group continues to pursue its ambition: building a more sustainable logistics industry for future generations.
