A fleet of electric vehicles to support the transition
As part of its carbon reduction plan, Sagitta Pharma deployed a fleet of hybrid and electric vehicles for business travel several years ago.
This initiative promotes more responsible mobility, while improving employee comfort and safety.To support this change, electric charging stations have been installed in the company car park, making it easier to recharge on site. This approach encourages the adoption of low-carbon modes of transport, in line with national energy transition objectives.
A certified carbon contribution: 42 tons of CO₂ offset
Beyond directly reducing emissions, Sagitta Pharma is working towards measurable and verifiable carbon neutrality. The company has obtained WeNow certification, attesting to a carbon contribution of 42 tons of CO₂ offset for the year 2025.

This certification guarantees funding for certified environmental projects with real impact, promoting the fight against climate change on an international and local scale.
Support for a UN-certified hydroelectricity project
Among the projects supported is Small Hydro – ID 1280, a small-scale hydropower project certified by the United Nations.
This type of project relies on the production of renewable electricity from low-power hydraulic installations. It contributes to:
