Environmental Commitments
Kumulus Vape is committed to reducing its carbon footprint, minimizing waste, and promoting more sustainable and responsible production.
Carbon Footprint Report
In 2024, Kumulus Vape initiated an ambitious approach to conduct its first carbon footprint assessment. The goal is to precisely measure the Group’s environmental impact across its entire value chain, including both direct and indirect emissions.
This initiative represents a key milestone in our strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By optimizing logistics processes, promoting short supply chains, and integrating more low-carbon solutions, we are paving the way for a more sustainable business model.
Ethifinance Reports
Each year, Kumulus Vape submits its ESG performance for evaluation by EthiFinance, an independent rating agency specializing in corporate extra-financial analysis.
In 2024, we achieved the EthiFinance Silver Certification, recognizing our progress in governance, human resource management, and environmental responsibility. This commitment ensures a high level of transparency for our partners and investors while demonstrating our dedication to continuous improvement.
Initiatives for People with Disabilities
Inclusion is a core value at Kumulus Vape. We have implemented concrete initiatives to support people with disabilities, with a particular focus on the deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
We have hired team members proficient in sign language and raised awareness among our staff on these issues. Additionally, we have established an annual donation program to support families of children affected by Pitt-Hopkins syndrome. Each year, 100% of our B2C revenue from a dedicated day is donated to a specialized association.
Initiatives for Bees Protection
Aware of the crucial importance of biodiversity preservation, we have partnered with the Abeilles et Environnement association.
Through this collaboration, Kumulus Vape sponsors 30 beehives across France, actively contributing to the protection of pollinators and the preservation of ecosystems. This initiative is part of our broader commitment to a more environmentally responsible future.
Longstanding Partner of the Coeur2Bouchons association
As a responsible and committed company, Kumulus Vape is proud to support Cœur2Bouchons, an association dedicated to collecting and recycling plastic caps to fund equipment and initiatives for people with disabilities.
Because every action counts, we encourage everyone to participate by dropping off plastic caps at collection points available in our network’s stores. Together, let’s make recycling a driver of inclusion and sustainability!
