Carbios, (Euronext Growth Paris : ALCRB), a pioneer in the
development and industrialization of biological technologies to
reinvent the lifecycle of plastic and textiles, has written its
Purpose into its statutes, as permitted by the PACTE Act of 2019,
following the vote at the Annual General Meeting held on 22 June
2023, namely "to generate a positive and significant social,
societal and environmental impact in the conduct of its
activities". This Purpose underpins Carbios' business, which
provides solutions to the environmental emergency of tackling
plastic pollution.
Emmanuel Ladent, CEO of Carbios: "Since its inception,
Carbios has always defined itself by the reason behind its
activities: fighting plastic pollution. It is the very genesis of
the company. By including this Purpose in our company statutes, at
the very core of our activities, we strengthen our commitment to
protect the planet and improve the life of those who share it.”

"Since Carbios' employees embody its Purpose every day, it was
obvious that they should all take part in this video," continues
Emmanuel Ladent.
Implementation details
After publishing its first Sustainability Report in 2022,
Carbios established a dedicated CSR1 role in 2023. A CSR Committee
chaired by Amandine De Souza and composed of Board members and
General Management will now take into account the social and
environmental impact of its decisions in the governance
process.
An internal steering committee will ensure the operational
implementation of the associated actions.
A Purpose to address an environmental emergency
« Let’s free the oceans and land from further
waste!
This can only be achieved when all the
plastic and textiles already in-use are effectively reduced, reused
and recycled.
This is the reason we rally forces and
catalyze unprecedented expertise-based partnerships to innovate in
biorecycling and biodegradation technologies.
It’s why, every day, we develop unique
enzymes that make our core technologies thrive.
And why, every day, this teamwork makes the
circularity of plastic and textiles possible at scale.
At Carbios, we are renowned scientists,
engineers and entrepreneurs.
Nature is our inspiration. »
