Regenerating life through our businesses

Our fourth area of CSR concerns the living world.
This is a complex issue, often still little dealt with by companies, involving respect for biodiversity and regeneration, in other words, our ability to reconstitute nature - and therefore the living world. Here, it's not so much a question of reducing our negative environmental impact as of guaranteeing a positive effect on our environment, thanks to our professions.

Depollution

One of our businesses is to clean up soil and water so that life can return to normal. This involves two main activities:

- Site remediation: rehabilitation of brownfield sites, elimination of concentrated pollution, treatment of plumes, management of ecological emergencies. Our expertise provides our customers with tailor-made solutions for dealing with their environmental liabilities and regenerating their sites.

- Effluent treatment: we offer a range of remediation tools adapted to each situation to treat effluent.

The constant quest for innovation and a strong CSR approach are at the heart of our business and our development.

Land re-fertilization

Farmland is under threat everywhere. In France, every second, 25^m2 of natural land disappears, the equivalent of a soccer pitch every 5 minutes and a whole département every 7 years.

To respond to the environmental emergency, SERFIM deploys treatment platforms and remediation tools for the various types of pollution, in order to recycle tons of excavated soil.

Species preservation

Our businesses, whatever they may be, are in constant contact with the living world.
The sites on which we operate are in themselves spaces on which we can take direct action: de-silting, re-vegetating, choosing species that are both adapted to the effects of climate change, but also for their benefits (welcoming biodiversity, cooling heat islands, etc.)
As part of our skills, during the execution of our numerous worksites involving or not the installation or rehabilitation of infrastructures, we have the opportunity to choose to preserve animal and plant species, and to carry out our developments to facilitate the cohabitation of this biodiversity and human activities.
