OUR ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND SOCIETAL RESPONSIBILITY

Our products [NFPS]

Training In 2020, as part of its transformation program, the BIC Group introduced training on regulatory obligations and product safety, but the roll-out was not as extensive as planned due to the public health crisis. A training course was taken by 25 members of the operational teams of the Samer and Verberie sites (France), including project managers, production teams and quality teams. The Product Safety team prepared remote training courses for all project teams, and an initial session took place in October for the quality teams, with more than 70 people participating.

Perspectives In the coming years, the Group will continue to adapt its working methods and means to maintain its own standards and level of compliance concerning product safety. BIC will continue to expand its regulatory watch activities to remain ready to adapt its processes, products and formulas as needed. The BIC Group also plans to offer training in the main principles of its product safety policy to the teams concerned. This training will emphasize the importance of ensuring maximum safety for all BIC products and for all markets throughout the world, in particular in order to meet the challenges of e-commerce.
