Our engagement

Social responsibility is not a parallel approach; it is at the heart of who we are.  We firmly believe that sustainable industrial performance depends as much on responsible innovation as it does on ethical practices and strong human values. This also means taking concrete action to protect the environment, reduce our impact on natural resources, and contribute to an industry that is more respectful of ecological balance. Every day, we are committed to supporting our employees, minimizing our footprint, and building more sustainable industrial solutions.

🌱 Reducing our environmental impact through our technologies

At Sames, innovation is not limited to industrial performance: it is part of an active approach to reducing our environmental footprint. Our solutions address concrete challenges such as reducing CO₂ emissions, limiting VOCs, and extending the life cycle of equipment. 

- Reducing CO₂ emissions 

We develop low-energy technologies that enable more efficient application, with fewer losses and less impact. (NanobellGTE)

 - Reduction of VOCs and better waste management 

We are taking action on several levels to limit solvent emissions and optimize the consumption of paint and solvents. (Cyclomix® Evo)

- A circular economy approach

We design our products to last longer, be repairable, and easy to maintain. We are also evolving our ranges to incorporate these principles from the design stage. (Powder range, repairable equipment).

A word from our CEO

At Sames, we go beyond simply gluing, protecting and improving materials. We bring people together, protect the environment and beautify our world.

Our acronym Sames stands for "Simply Applying Most Efficient Solutions", reflecting our commitment to combining performance and respect for the environment.

Our corporate social responsibility (CSR) is based on four pillars, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): environmental, social, ethical and responsible purchasing.

As part of the fourth industrial revolution, we support the transformation of our customers' production processes.

Our "human touch", our passion for innovation and our culture of excellence enable us to meet daily challenges.

Let's work together for a more sustainable future.

    - Reduced energy consumption,

    - Repairable and durable products,

    - An approach that promotes waste reduction.
