At the launch of an exhibition and campaign dedicated to responsible waste management this Friday at Coeur Cap Tamarin, Super U CEO Pascal Tsin said his group plans to become a model of the circular economy. “For a long time Super U has been committed to reducing its environmental impact, and one of the most important aspects of this commitment is waste management and reducing waste,” he said.
According to the Super U CEO, the many social and environmental initiatives the group has taken in recent years are all aimed at facilitating the transition of its business model to a more integrated, responsible and sustainable system. “Shopping centers and their supermarkets are major producers of plastic and cardboard waste, so it is our duty to reduce this pollution and find viable and effective solutions to this global problem. Moreover, as we know, the planet is facing a serious climate crisis. In this context, fostering the emergence of a circular economy is a must, and this is what we are working towards through our various initiatives, our environmental investments and our work with different companies and NGOs engaged in the circular economy,” Pascal Tsin pointed out.
The group’s environmental partners include Green Mission, WE-RECYCLE, Foodwise, LIONS Club of Flacq, Rotary Club of Grand Bay, Phoenix Bev, WeCycle, BiobiN, Bioil, Surfrider, PolypetRecyclers, Plankton, BEM Recycling and others. In addition to recycling, Super U is also heavily invested in Upcycling, which is giving waste a second life. For example, many elements of Super U Tamarin’s decoration are derived from household waste.
“It is all these initiatives, put together and systematized in all our areas of operation, that allow a company to enter the circular economy round. The fight is far from over, and we will maintain our efforts in the coming years to help build a better future for our children and our planet. Let’s continue, together, to do the right thing,” concluded Pascal Tsin.
