Millet

Innovation guides us every day. In 1950 we designed the "Annapurna 50", the first bag to reach the 8,000m summit of Annapurna, and in 2020 we're designing the Trilogy E-one bag, the lightest airbag on the market.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

We want to be a sustainable company. This commitment is reflected not only in our technical innovations, but also in every step we take to improve our impact on the life cycle of our products.

COMMUNITY

Guide companies, athletes and ambassadors are our source of inspiration and are the ones who push us to achieve excellence in every project: they test and trial our products in the most challenging conditions with the ambition of reaching the summits. Like them, we strive for excellence.

Millet: A DAILY COMMITMENT TO ECO-RESPONSIBILITY

To help halt the advance of global warming, it is our duty to accelerate our transformation. We set out on this path a long time ago, with the aim of becoming a regenerative company.
Our vision is of a company that minimizes its negative impacts while maximizing its positive contribution to society and the planet. To achieve this vision, we have defined a mission that is rooted in 6 pillars, which will be our milestones on the road to becoming a regenerative company until 2030.

Our 6 pillars

CIRCULAR PRODUCTS
A product should only exist to meet the needs of a practitioner. To move towards circularity and make a product more sustainable and virtuous right up to the end of its use, it is essential that this product is monitored throughout its life cycle.

FROM PRODUCT DESIGN TO END OF LIFEMANAGEMENT , HERE ARE ALL THE STEPS WE FOLLOW TO MOVE TO CIRCULARITY.

RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Our aim is to promote and generalize the use of renewable materials in our products, in order to minimize our impact on the environment, and particularly on the climate.
First of all, we are reducing our electricity and water consumption in our buildings as much as possible, and from 2022 we will be switching to 100% renewable electricity. We also want to support this kind of transition within our own factories and with our production partners.
But the vast majority of our environmental impact comes from the manufacture of our products. We are therefore making every effort to use as many renewable or low-impact materials as possible, with the aim of achieving 100% eco-designed products by 2030.
For the spring-summer 2022 season, 28% of our products are made from eco-responsible materials, of which around 90% are recycled.
We have also chosen to make a strong impact by renewing our entire range of UBIC backpacks in 100% recycled material.

PRODUCTION CHAIN
We strive to maximize our positive impact at every stage, from the production of the materials that go to make up our products to transport and packaging, while reducing our negative impact on the environment.

HUMAN AFFAIRS
EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT
We involve all our employees through thematic working groups, coordinated by the CSR Manager, and a CSR Steering Committee, in direct contact with Management to best organize the steering of our societal commitment strategy. Within this framework, we have a Greenside Collective working group whose role is to act on the impact of our activities on the company's sites and on the well-being of our employees.

WELL-BEING
Since 2020, we have implemented a telecommuting policy that enables employees who so wish to work from home. In this way, we avoid daily commutes that have an impact on the climate. We also organize external workshops several times a year to discover inspiring conferences, meet brand ambassadors, exchange views on CSR-related topics or screen films with an environmental or social focus.

MOBILITY PLAN
Knowing that fine particle pollution, partly linked to transport, is one of the main local issues in the Alpine arc, we have set up an internal travel plan to reduce the impact of home/work journeys: Organized car pooling

THE CLIMATE
CLIMATE LOVERS
OUR PLAN TO 2030
Being completely dependent on the health
of the climate, we have initiated a strategy to reduce our impact, starting with establishing a carbon footprint in 2019.
This assessment marks the first step in a strategy to reduce our carbon impact between 2020 and 2030, to reach incompressible emissions (which we cannot eWe will then be able to offset these emissions by financing CO2 capture projects, through regenerative agriculture, the management of forests in climate crisis or the development of renewable energy projects.

GIVE BACK
WE WANT OUR ACTIVITIES TO HAVE A POSITIVE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
.
We therefore support numerous initiatives to protect and regenerate nature. But we also have a responsibility to continue connecting people to nature, so that they learn to love, respect and protect it.
In addition to our annual partnerships with the 82X400 association and Riders for refugees, we are launching the 1% for climbing routes campaign in 2022.
1% for climbing routes is 1% of our climbing sales donated to associations that re-equip climbing sites and raise awareness of the need to protect cliffs and their environment.
