Décathlon is an international company founded in 1976. It designs and markets sports articles in its 1,667 shops in 59 countries.
In a transparent approach, Décathlon commits the entire chain to a more sustainable production and consumption process. In collaboration with its employees and financial partners, the company has therefore launched various initiatives, such as environmental signage.
In 2009, Décathlon set up an eco-design support tool. It studies different criteria over the entire life cycle of the product, such as energy or waste.
Décathlon has also set up a communication system that is useful to customers and employees, enabling them to discover new modes of consumption: repair and use of second-hand objects for example.
Décathlon has also set up an environmental display, giving customers visibility on the environmental impact of products. This clear and reliable tool makes purchasing more responsible. To do this, Décathlon works in cooperation with different structures such as Afnor, Ademe and the European Commission, in order to allow better harmony of market practices.
Thus since 2015, a grade from A to E is indicated on each product. Customers can thus compare products. 48% of products are currently subject to these studies and ratings, and Décathlon is tending to roll out this system more widely in the coming months.
