For the environment

Our ambition:

To preserve the environment as much as possible from the effects of our activity

Value commitment

Supplier – hirer – customer: a winning triptych

Sharing equipment means allowing a larger number of people to benefit from it than would otherwise be the case, and thus reducing the carbon footprint by 50%! Renting means promoting this sharing economy and thus contributing to the preservation of natural resources.

And to make renting the norm, a whole sector must be involved! Customers on the one hand, who use this equipment, and suppliers on the other hand, who devise solutions for more environmentally friendly construction sites.

By positioning itself as the central axis of this triptych, Kiloutou is both an advisor and an attentive ear to enable this trio to form a virtuous circle.

The sustainable equipment meetings

Initiated in 2021, these meetings bring together construction players, equipment manufacturers, rental companies and professional federations. Through frank dialogue, objective studies and feedback, concrete actions are being developed that will lead to greener construction sites.

“The Sustainable Equipment Meetings are an opportunity for all the players in the sector to discuss the levers that could be activated to meet the commitments we have all made in terms of environmental transition. They are mobilising with enthusiasm and do not hesitate to share their skills and good practices ! “

Olivier Colleau, Executive Chairman Kiloutou Group

The Kiloutou test center

Located in the North of France, the Test Center is designed to see each piece of equipment before it enters the range.

Thanks to strict specifications, they are evaluated on performance, safety and environmental criteria.

Thus, thanks to feedback from its customers, Kiloutou is able to develop its equipment in the context of a win-win supplier relationship !

The equipment manufacturers’ environmental trophy

Each year, Kiloutou rewards one of its suppliers for its commitment and concrete actions for the environmental transition.

Value innovation

Ever more responsible solutions

When it comes to CO₂ emissions, we are of course aware of the impact of our equipment. This is why Kiloutou is constantly looking for new, more environmentally friendly technologies.

OUR RANGE OF ALTERNATIVE EQUIPMENT iMPAKT

Less CO₂ emissions, less fine particles and even less noise, electric or hybrid equipment has many advantages.

OUR RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT POLICY

Electric trucks, hydrogen generators… we test and try out new technologies and energies that may become the standard of tomorrow.

And to assist our customers in their environmental transition, we offer an online carbon calculator that will allow them to easily find an alternative to thermal equipment.

Value respect

To sign is to commit !

Kiloutou has signed various agreements in order to set its ambitions in stone. The idea is to make our commitments official and to position ourselves on concrete levers over time.

GLOBAL COMPACT: THE KEYS TO A SUSTAINABLE SOCIETY

The United Nations Global Compact includes 10 clearly defined principles that concern both the environment and people.

They ultimately act as a guideline that dictates Kiloutou’s actions in terms of sustainable development.

ECOWATT & ECOGAZ: AIMING FOR ENERGY SOBRIETY

Through a multi-scale action plan, Kiloutou is committed to reducing its energy consumption by 10% within two years.

This will be achieved through simple eco-gestures such as the installation of clocks on heaters or training in eco-driving, but also through a programme of renovation and insulation of our branches.

Value action

Acting together

If friendliness and team spirit are key values for Kiloutou’s teammates, this is also reflected in their commitment. When it comes to preserving the environment, they are there !

WORLD CLEANUP DAY

Each year, the global clean-up movement expands at Kiloutou. In each of our 7 countries, our teammates are committed to cleaning up the area around our branches, sometimes even with their families, to rid the area of litter.

OFFSETTING ACTIONS

Aware of the impact of our activity on the planet, the teams are working to offset these emissions by creating carbon sinks. By planting trees in key areas, they allow nature to regain its rights !
