The Géosel site is located within the Luberon regional natural park (PNRL) and is an example of successful cohabitation of a sensitive natural environment with an industrial activity.

Géosel adheres to the principles and objectives outlined in the Luberon Regional Natural Park Charter, which is regularly updated. A partnership agreement has been signed with the Luberon Regional Natural Park to integrate environmental concerns into the monitoring, maintenance, inspection, and repair of transport pipelines within the park.

 

Géosel is ISO 14001 certified.

This certification is an international standard that sets the requirements for an effective environmental management system within an organization, enabling it to reduce its environmental impact.

An ambitious management plan with the ONF

Géosel has implemented a 20-year forest management plan (2015–2035) in collaboration with the National Forestry Office (ONF), with the primary goal of maintaining forest cover to protect the soil. A management program has also been established for different types of tree stands, including logging and maintenance work, with the aim of preserving the environment on-site, promoting biodiversity conservation, and reducing fire risks.

A renewed commitment with PEFC

Géosel has renewed its commitment with PEFC (Promotion of Sustainable Forest Management) after having successfully passed a certification audit. This membership (PEFC/10-21-19/392) is based on our undertaking to respect the “national specifications for forestry owners”.

Géosel maintains close relationships with numerous local stakeholders, such as:

• the Service Départemental d’Incendie et de Secours - SDIS 04 (Departmental Fire and Rescue Service) for the management of major accidents, firefighting, and emergency response,
• the CERPAM (Alps-Mediterranean Pastoral Study and Development Center), which, at our request, conducted a pastoral assessment of the entire Géosel estate as a complement to the Simple Management Plan.

Additionally, a grazing agreement has been established with a local shepherd to maintain forested areas in an eco-responsible manner.
