Circularity

We are accelerating the energy transition towards a circular system centered around clean and infinitely available electrical energy.

We aim to transform our entire supply chain into a circularity hub. We want to ensure that our suppliers and partners can propose environmental declarations and eco-design their solutions.

Also, we intend to lead by example by proposing circularity as a service to our customers. It’s the responsibility of all of us to work together, in order to reduce our waste footprint.

Sonepar Energy Transition Academy

In 2020, we launched the Sonepar Energy Transition Academy, a compulsory training programme designed to raise awareness about climate change and promote best practices among our 44,000 associates.

In 2023, we released the second training module about circularity and waste management.

Local Initiatives

We're engaged in sustainability initiatives worldwide, from the deployment of solar power and the conversion of our fleet cars and plant machinery to electric, to energy saving systems and plastic free packaging and waste management programmes.

Open our interactive sustainability map to discover where, and how, we’re making a difference.

“We see our CSR approach as a way to drive performance, boost our economic and social efficiency, and become more
competitive and profitable in the long term. Working alongside our stakeholders and associates, we are moving
​​​​​​​towards our goal of sustainable growth that respects our ecosystem”
