Our environmental policy
Luminess has always paid particular attention to the impact of its activity. Now a 100% digital company, the Group naturally places CSR at the heart of its strategy, in connection with its activity the processing of data and its quieter pollution that represents the digital.
Luminess has committed to a proactive approach to assessing and reducing its environmental impact.
- Implement an energy transition plan for a 15% reduction in our carbon emissions in 3 years (by 2027);
- Be a force for proposals for participate in reducing our customers' carbon emissions
I am personally committed to implementing the necessary means and I hope that all the teams are fully involved in this collective project which constitutes a strong commitment for the future of our Group.
Strengthen our Green IT approach
By developing eco-design
Saving energy comes first and foremost through design of our infrastructure and software. We monitor the power, heat generation and footprint of servers to optimize our technologies as much as possible. For our software, we choose sustainable and efficient technologies:
-
Dynamic adaptation of the platforms to the load, until complete extinction in the event of non-use
-
Implementation of caches to limit redundant calculations
-
Limiting the use of unnecessary dependencies
With regard to our infrastructures, we select equipment to improve our energy consumption and our CO2 emissions: in particular, we use hyperconvergence technology which allows the highest density of virtual machines on the market.
By optimizing consumption in our Data Centers
Controlling the energy consumption of our data centers is essential. This requires optimal use of energy.
-
Server temperature is regulated : internal cooling is done according to the calculation load, the disks are stopped during periods of inactivity, the temperature is adapted to the seasons (summer / winter), and the air conditioning has been lowered by 1° in our data centers .
-
At the same time, we have increased the number of Nutanix nodes to reduce the consumption of our servers, and we have partitioned our data centers to Mayenne.
By giving a second life to our IT equipment
We have implemented an eco-responsible and united approach by making donation of our computer and electronic equipment to our employees on our sites Mayenne, Lens, Rennes et Paris, or to associations.
In 2024, we had some of our telephone equipment taken back, an idea suggested by one of our employees. This program allowed us to sell 50% of our unused devices to a company specializing in reconditioning. These devices are refurbished and reintroduced to the second-hand market, thus helping to reduce our electronic waste emissions. This action illustrates our commitment to the circular economy and underlines the importance of the involvement of our employees.
Develop green goodies
On all of our HR fairs
The objective of this eco-responsible approach is to rethink the “traditional” goodies, and to trade it in favor of a more sustainable approach for associations whose activities are in line with that of our society, and in line with the Group's challenges.
Emmaüs Connect for digital inclusion, Femmes@Numériques for professional diversity and a French foundation for the environment
Operation is simple: visitors are invited to vote on platform created by our teams for one of these associations, and the company undertakes to pay back a sum supplemented in proportion to the number of votes.
Promote soft and sustainable mobility
We also want to improve our carbon footprint by reducing mobility when possible and otherwise favoring soft mobility.
Grow our bike commuter community*
This community is present on all of our sites, and was founded on the initiative of employees. An initiative that the Luminess Group supports and which benefits the health of our employees and the planet.
In 2023, 6,3 tonnes of greenhouse gases will have been saved thanks to bike commuting.
*employees who travel by bicycle to get to their place of work
Promote measures encouraging carpooling
For example, an agreement has been signed between the site of Mayenne and Klaxit, which allows site employees to discover or develop carpooling between their home and their workplace, while being paid!
Generalize telework
Allow up to 3 days per week of remote work for employees who wish to do so.
