Our CSR vision

At EMO, Corporate Social Responsibility is not an option but a way of approaching our work in the service of water and local communities. As a subsidiary of the SEMOSIA Group, we are committed to combining industrial performance with a positive environmental impact and social progress.

Above and beyond regulatory requirements (CSRD, ISO 26000, the Paris Agreements), our intention is to make a significant contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in the areas of sustainable water management, health and safety and quality of life at work, and reducing our carbon footprint.

Our key commitments

Our CSR approach is based on three key principles, in accordance with the SEMOSIA Group’s CSR policy.

Our products and our customers: offering reliable, sustainable and high-performance effluent and sludge treatment solutions to help protect water resources.

Women and men: ensuring safe working conditions, encouraging social dialogue, training and non-discrimination on our sites in Noyal-sur-Vilaine and Saint-Lyphard and in our subsidiaries.

Our planet: reducing our carbon emissions, optimising our use of resources and improving waste management throughout the supply chain.

A structured and managed approach

An EMO CSR management committee (COPIL RSE) meets with representatives from various departments within the company to define, follow up on and adjust our roadmap. Our CSR representative for the SEMOSIA Group coordinates actions, supports teams and ensures operational implementation at sites.

Development of new solutions, continuous improvement of existing equipment, execution of studies, design of drawings (mechanical and electrical), manufacturing, etc. EMO, committed to support you every step of the way, puts its know-how and expertise in project management at the service of its clients.

CSR policies and codes of conduct (covering ethics, health and safety, the environment, sustainable procurement, the GDPR and diversity) are developed and available to employees.
