Aware of the role it has to play with the younger generation, the Janod brand has been committed to a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policy since 2020. Here are some of the priority actions undertaken by Janod to limit its carbon impact and raise children's awareness of respect for the environment.
- Reduce packaging and limit the use of plastic: removal of plastic bags, windows and blisters, replacing them with foam and bubble wrap... A total of 127 Janod products were modified in 2020, which is 26% of the wood & cardboard collection. These 127 products alone contain 7 kg of plastic. Given the volume sold, this represents about 5.5 tons less plastic per year!
- Relocate the production of certain products, and in particular our 100% Made in France cardboard puzzles, managed by a subcontractor that is also committed to a responsible approach.
- Raise children's awareness of nature conservation through a responsible collection in collaboration with WWF, as well as by getting involved in reforestation, along with the Kinomé association and the NFO.
- Use more and more FSC® wood (from sustainably managed forests). In 2021, 25% of the products in the JANOD wood and cardboard collection were FSC® certified. Our goal is to reach 70% by 2025!
The FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council ®) certification system is an environmental eco-label to ensure that products made of wood come from responsibly managed forests. As a result, it guarantees the legality of the resource’s exploitation and the absence of any links to deforestation, in addition to biodiversity conservation.
FSC® principles:
- Compliance with the laws of the country
- Workers' rights and employment conditions
- Indigenous peoples' rights
- Relations with local communities
- Profits generated by the forest
- Values and environmental impacts of forest management
- Management Planning
- Monitoring and assessment of management practices
- High conservation values
- Practical implementation of management activities
