The Sustainable Development Goals in a CSR policy

Bien Stocker takes these objectives into account in its selection of suppliers and products. Naturally not all of them relate to the industry but to our choice to work with locally manufactured products in order to avoid large displacements that are sources of pollution. Just as the ecological impact of a product cannot be reduced to its 'working life', its design and its recycling are decisive elements to be analyzed carefully. Another important aspect is the durability and repairability index of a product.

The lifespan of the product has a large and unsuspected number of consequences on the environment. A durable product is a quality product that will be more pleasant and easier to use on a daily basis due to its robust and efficient design. Its possible repair on site could be done by the user with spare parts sent by the manufacturer and thus avoids travel. The non-replacement of a defective product limits the consumption of raw materials, energy for its extraction and processing and limits transport. It is a virtuous circle of which the consumer must be aware when making his purchases. The overall cost of a sustainable product represents a real, easily quantifiable saving. Our role as a marketer is also to educate the consumer by being the most explicit and transparent about the origin and manufacture of the products offered.
