Sustainability as top priority Mondaine: CO2-neutral, already today (part 1) |
|
| Zollikorn/Pfäffikon - Schweiz, 29 September, 2022 (APA/OTS) - Mondaine has been committed to the 3R rule already for years now: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. It is applied to each individual area of business: from the acquisition of raw materials to transport and production, operation of the headquarters and the factory, right to business trips. The outcome is a completely CO2-neutral enterprise, including all its watch brands. The main drivers behind this approach are André and Ronnie Bernheim, and decades of family tradition. |

The brothers André and Ronnie Bernheim are joint owners of the
Swiss SME with its four brands: Mondaine, Luminox, M-Watch and
Pierre Cardin. The president of the board is André Bernheim. As
Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO), he also answers for the
sustainability strategy. He is making sustainability a top priority
and treating it as a strategic topic. The people in charge at
Mondaine are convinced: sustainability must be every business' top
priority. With its commitment to CO2-neutrality, Mondaine hopes to
inspire other businesses in the industry to do the same.
We care
Social, ecological and economic engagement is Mondaine's guiding
principle: We care. Our record of success is based on decades of
systematically introducing and implementing sustainable processes
and products. As a leading international watch company, Mondaine is
far ahead of its time in developing environmentally friendly
processes. The company has been guided by the 3R rule already for
many years: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. It applies across the board:
whether it is the acquisition of components, their transport and
that of the watches, the production of the watches, operation of the
headquarters and the factory, as well as for business trips. Thanks
to these extensive efforts, since 2020 the group and each of the
four brands are completely climate-neutral (Scopes 1, 2, 3 [1]).
But, on top of that, Mondaine - likely as first watch company in the
world - also offers a watch recycling service for all customers
sending their watch to the Swiss factory - soon introducing this
offer in other countries.
Comprehensive climate-neutrality through reforestation
It is impossible to avoid CO2 emissions completely. That is why, in
its management of sustainability, Mondaine also includes
compensation projects. For all the unavoidable emissions, the group
compensates with specific reforestation projects. We do this by
maintaining strong and committed partnerships (Gula, Indonesia,
www.gulagula.org, https://fairventures.org/, OAK in Pfäffikon,
Switzerland). This is how we succeeded in becoming completely
CO2-neutral (Scopes 1, 2, 3).
Mondaine's sustainability story
1951: Erwin Bernheim founds the Mondaine business enterprise.
1973: Mondaine launches the world's first solar-powered watch.
1990s: Mondaine metal watch cases are made from upcycled scrap
metal.
2013: Mondaine watch straps are made from ecological materials such
as linen, rPET-felt and rPET-nylon, cotton or cork.
2017: Mondaine essence is launched with an organic plastic case
made of a composite derived from castor oil.
2019: A photovoltaic system on the factory roof in Biberist
supplies up to 80 percent of our electric power needs.
2020: Luminox Tide is launched with case and strap made of 100
percent recycled plastic collected from the world's oceans.
2020: Thanks to compensation through reforestation, Mondaine is
CO2-neutral (Scopes 1, 2, and partially 3).
2021: The ecological balance sheet now takes into account the
shipping of products to direct customers worldwide (i.e expansion of
Scope 3).
Mondaine's goals for the future
The Mondaine Group will continue its efforts in promoting
sustainability. Our commitment to CO2-neutrality will continue, and
we are even considering becoming CO2-positive in the medium term.
The systematic cradle-to-cradle approach to achieve a circular
economy will be maintained by the group. Mondaine is currently
studying ways, for example, to make watch cases with high recycled
stainless-steel content. In a further milestone, since January 2022
Mondaine is replacing straps made of animal-based leather with
straps made of vegan grape leather. The Mondaine Group continues to
be guided by the 3R rule - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. And we are
encouraging our suppliers and direct customers to also take a more
sustainable approach. (continues)
