Go Green: a team of committed employees at Lagardère Travel Retail

At the start of 2019, more than 20 particularly committed employees from Lagardère Travel Retail’s Duty Free head office formed the Go Green team in order to implement
environmentally responsible actions within the company.

Their first mission – to reduce the head office’s environmental impact – resulted in concrete actions such as promoting two environmentally responsible search engines, listing two environmentally responsible prepared meal providers and even organizing participative workshops on the theme of zero waste.

Furthermore, Go Green’s second aim is to raise employee awareness about sustainable development issues by organising internal events, in particular by means of a dedicated information breakfast during which committed brands were presented and employees invited to take part in practical workshops.

Go Green also organised a sale of low-cost pollution-reducing plants with ESAT La Mare Savin.
A second market was organised in December 2019 for the festive period.

Following these initial successes, the aim is to continue to promote initiatives that will enable the Duty Free head office to become even more environmentally responsible with the introduction of recycling, for example.
