Signature of the Charter of 7 Commitments for Safer Roads

La Rochette Cartonboard strengthens its commitment to road safety for its employees by signing the Charter of 7 Commitments for Safer Roads, in partnership with the Prefect of Savoie.

Road risk is a complex issue, due to the wide range of causes and contexts that can lead to accidents. As an employer, it is essential to consider road safety by raising awareness among all road users, including employees.

We are committed to:

• Sharing government awareness campaigns and materials from the Road Safety Delegation with our employees;
• Regularly conducting information initiatives to promote and uphold the 7 commitments.

Following a first awareness campaign held from May 12 to 16 as part of Road Safety Days, new actions will be launched soon!

Together, committed to safer roads — towards new summits !

Raising awareness among young students about careers in the paper and board industry

Raising awareness among young students about careers in the paper and board industry also means preparing for the future!

As part of the Alp’paper working group, which brings together paper and board industry players in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region—and under the initiative of Industrie Papier Carton / AFIFOR—educational workshops are being held in primary schools across Isère and Savoie, near our industrial sites.

We had the pleasure of representing La Rochette Cartonboard during one of these workshops at La Neuve School in La Rochette, with a CM1 (4th grade) class.

This moment of exchange was an opportunity to:
✅ Promote our industry and its know-how
✅ Introduce children to paper/board-related careers
✅ Spark curiosity about sustainable materials

These workshops are structured into 4 key phases:
• Everyday uses of paper and board
• The history of the “paper trail”
• Paper manufacturing processes
• Environmental protection in the industry

A big thank-you to Industrie Papier Carton for organizing these workshops!
