From the outset, Marius Aurenti, pioneer of millimetric micro concrete, has placed nature at the heart of its priorities with its strong slogan: ‘Nature First’. This commitment is not limited to a declaration of intent, but is backed up by concrete, measured actions to preserve the environment and reduce its ecological impact.
A pretty staircase: micro Concrete Staircases
To guarantee the transparency and effectiveness of its actions, Marius Aurenti has implemented a scientific approach to analyzing its environmental footprint. This approach is based on two key tools:
Carbon footprint: The company measures its emissions on the three recognized scopes, including direct emissions, indirect emissions linked to energy, and those induced by its entire value chain.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Specifically applied to millimetric micro concrete, this analysis assesses its environmental impact at every stage, from raw material production to customer application.
These analyses, carried out and adjusted on an ongoing basis, enable Marius Aurenti to precisely target the actions it needs to take to reduce its carbon footprint.
Concrete initiatives to reduce ecological impact
Armed with this data, the company has undertaken a series of measures to drastically reduce its environmental impact:
Reduction at source: packaging is now made from recycled plastic or is optimized to reduce the amount of plastic used. The aim is to gradually eliminate non-recyclable plastic from production lines.
Energy transition: The installation of solar panels supplies a growing proportion of the company’s energy needs. The heating system has been completely redesigned with high-efficiency heat pumps.
Sustainable mobility: The vehicle fleet is gradually migrating to electric vehicles, in order to reduce transport-related emissions.
Carbon footprint and offsetting: For several years now, Marius Aurenti has been investing in reforestation projects to offset its incompressible emissions. These projects not only capture carbon, but also restore local ecosystems. Thanks to these combined efforts, the company has already reduced its emissions by 63 tonnes, representing a 7% reduction in its overall carbon footprint.
A recognized commitment: member of the Coq Vert community
In recognition of its efforts, Marius Aurenti has joined the Communauté du Coq Vert, a network of entrepreneurs committed to the ecological transition. Initiated by Bpifrance in partnership withADEME and the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, this community brings together companies taking concrete action to reduce their environmental impact.
What is the Communauté du Coq Vert? A forum for sharing expertise and innovative solutions among committed business leaders. Support for in-depth knowledge of climate issues, notably through dedicated resources and awareness-raising events. Recognition for companies committed to measurable, responsible action.
By joining this network, Marius Aurenti gains access to additional tools to continue to progress and promote its environmental commitments to its customers and partners.
A vision for the future: nature first
For Marius Aurenti, making money at the expense of nature is unacceptable. This commitment goes beyond simple corporate responsibility: it’s a moral duty towards future generations. Inspired by the Native American legend of the hummingbird – which carries water drop by drop to extinguish a forest fire – the company firmly believes that every action, however modest, counts in the fight against environmental challenges.
Thanks to its initiatives, Marius Aurenti has achieved an ambitious objective: to neutralize its carbon emissions on the three scopes identified by the carbon balance. This neutrality is based on concrete, measurable and constantly improving actions.
A strong message for customers
As a French company specializing in millimetric micro concrete, Marius Aurenti invites its customers, craftsmen and partners to join in this responsible approach. Every choice of materials, every project can become a contribution to a more sustainable future.
With solid values and tangible results, Marius Aurenti proves that performance and ecology can coexist to build a harmonious future between man and nature.
