ENVIRONMENT: OUR COMMITMENTS
Over the next ten years, our planet will face increasingly urgent environmental challenges. Climate change, biodiversity loss and the pollution of our air and oceans are all threats that call for immediate, concerted action. As a transport company, we are aware of our responsibility, and we are committed to playing an active role at every moment and in every aspect of our work.
THE MOBILITY OF THE FUTURE
A transition we began from day one
Since 2016, Steph On Tour has led the way in the green transition, gradually replacing its fleet with electric and hybrid models. Today, 75% of our fleet is already low-emission.
We are committed to adopting any new propulsion system or alternative fuel as soon as it is technically possible and economically viable.
Energy efficiency
We strive to optimize our fleet's energy efficiency by investing in innovative technologies and putting eco-friendly driving practices and habits into action.
This includes advanced engine management systems, eco-driving training for our chauffeurs (switching off engines when stationary, choosing the most eco-friendly route, etc.) and policies to limit speed and sudden acceleration.
Responsible care and maintenance
We are committed to servicing our vehicles regularly to keep them running smoothly and minimize their emissions. This includes rigorous preventive maintenance, durable spare parts and fuel-saving tires.
To clean our vehicles, we choose car washes that use less water. For our leather seats and carpets, we use biodegradable, eco-friendly products.
Promoting and sharing our commitment
We care deeply about raising awareness among our employees, clients and business partners of the importance of environmental issues and best practices.
We remain passionate advocates and are always happy to help other businesses switch to hybrid or electric. With our hands-on experience of these vehicles, we can put their minds at ease (range, charging, etc.).
We aim to build a culture of environmental responsibility that reaches beyond our company and inspires positive change across society.
OUR SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENTS
Reducing waste
We have introduced internal policies to reduce the use of disposable materials and favor durable, reusable products. We also encourage our employees to adopt eco-friendly habits, such as sorting waste and cutting unnecessary packaging.
A very concrete example: we have stopped providing plastic bottles and we encourage our passengers to bring their own reusable bottle. When that isn't possible, or if passengers prefer, we offer glass bottles.
Committed partners
We favor partners and producers who share our environmental values and use sustainable farming practices, such as organic or biodynamic growing. By supporting these producers, we help promote environmentally friendly production methods and encourage the preservation of local ecosystems. We also make a point of choosing vineyards close to our tour routes, to reduce the carbon footprint of our travel and support the economic development of local communities. By working with partners committed to sustainability, we aim to offer our guests authentic, eco-friendly travel experiences.
Using refurbished equipment
We favor refurbished equipment. By refurbishing and reusing computers, office equipment and mobile phones, we extend their useful life and reduce the demand for new resources. This approach not only cuts electronic waste, it also saves money and limits our impact on the environment.
Social responsibility
We also want to be socially responsible. This naturally means respecting employment law, paying wages well above the industry average and offering exclusive benefits (health insurance, employee savings plan, etc.).
All of this helps build a fairer, more equitable future for everyone.
