For the past 20 years, Pocheco’s business and process has been driven by the 3 principles of the circular economy :
1 The reduction of workplace hazards and harsh working conditions
2 The reduction of environmental impact and the prevention of pollution
3 Increase in productivity
We call this process
the ecolonomy*
*Thanks to Corinne Lepage for the word Ecolonomy, from her 2008 book Vivre Autrement.
AND WE REJECT FINANCIAL CAPITALISM : the company's results are systematically reinvested in the company. No dividends.
THE TEAM
At Pocheco, we don’t have a complicated hierarchy, or lengthy titles.
A steering committee of 3 men and 3 women heads the company.
Each member of the team is treated as an expert in his/her field and knows who to turn to in case of questions.
Since 2008, the QSE System (Quality Security Environment) has allowed us to simplify our procedures and organize our work around a common goal : to serve our customers over the long term while respecting the planet and its inhabitants.
Our high energy performance programme has meant we have replaced our energy intensive machines and recover waste energy to heat the factory (we are 100% self sufficient in terms of heating).
In renovating our site (built in 1850) we pursued our strategy by installing a productive roof. We associated several techniques (solar panelling, insulation through plants, sky lights to allow natural light into the factory, green air conditioning).
We are self sufficient in terms of water. We recover rainwater on our roof and use it to clean our machines, dilute our inks and in our toilets). We filter our used water on site in our bamboo plantation.
ZERO WASTE ! OUR WASTE
IS A RESSOURCE !
