2 questions to Jean-Marc Scherrer,
President, Group Barrisol© Normalu© Ltd

Why is your company committed to fighting climate change?

Since the foundation of the company, 50 years ago, we became aware of the conservation and respect of the environment. In the heart of the Hardt forest, in Alsace (France), our head office is surrounded by green areas that we strive to preserve.

Respect for the environment is one of Barrisol’s priorities. Today, it is one of our main vectors to convey our company policy. Participating in the Green Solutions Awards enables us to assert that it is possible to combine tradition with innovation, technology and protection of our natural resources.

The Barrisol® system was imagined to use 20 times less raw materials than a standard product. All the Barrisol® sheets and profiles made of aluminium are 100% recyclable.

As a member of the English, Canadian and American Green Building Councils, Barrisol® started to commercialise the Barrisol Recycled® line in 2007. We combined innovation and respect for the environment: Recycled® sheets are manufactured from old Barrisol® sheets.

We use recyclable materials and encourage our partners and customers to join us in this endeavour.
