Environmental management and performance
This entails regular inspections by external independent
consultants, at the request of the Risk Insurance Environment
Department.
A major feature of the Valeo risk management policy is the
audit program, introduced in 1991, which involves regular audits
(at least every three years) of all sites to assess performance and
track progress in four broad fields:
2. Environmental performance
2.1. Reporting on environmental performance
Reporting scope
The environmental data published in this report concern all Valeo
Group production and distribution sites worldwide, except for the
Group’s minority interests. A reconciliation is carried out between
the financial data reported by the Group (sales, research and
development expenditure, etc.) and those reported by the individual
sites.
