The new EU Bioeconomy Strategy also highlights the Tissue sector
The European Commission has just presented the updated EU Bioeconomy Strategy, unveiled by Commissioner Jessika Roswall in a room filled with bio-based innovations of every kind. And our tissue products were right there, proudly representing our sector in Europe’s bio-based future.
This is a moment to celebrate. Not because tissue received special attention, but because we are now clearly part of the EU’s vision for the bioeconomy — a strong signal of recognition for the contribution our sector can bring to a more sustainable Europe.
A promising step forward and an additional motivation to keep engaging, innovating, and ensuring that the tissue sector remains actively involved as Europe shapes its bio-based transition.
Bioeconomy in action. Tissue included.
ICT Group obtains SBTi validation for its emissions reduction targets
We are proud to announce that ICT GROUP greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets have been officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) revision committee.
SBTi is an international organization that validates and approves companies’ emissions-reduction targets, ensuring they are science-based and aligned with the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming.
In particular our near-term target commits us to reducing our absolute GHG emissions across our operations (from 2020 base year):
- Scope 1 and 2 → - 42% by 2030
- Scope 3 → - 35% by 2034
15th October – Global Handwashing Day
Have you ever stopped to think about the importance of washing and drying your hands properly?
Proper hand hygiene can help prevent various types of infections and diseases!
Here is a quick refresher on how to do it properly, using tissue paper.
European Tissue Symposium, thank you for the reminder.
A look back at a memorable day at ICT France!
On September 13, ICT France had the pleasure of organizing a Family Day, a warm and festive moment dedicated to employees and their families.
On the program:
- Factory tour
- Makeup stands, children's games and carousel
- Candy bar, pancakes and cotton candy for those with a sweet tooth
Smiles, good humor and a friendly atmosphere punctuated this beautiful day!
Advancing the circular economy with the donation of reverse osmosis membranes
At ICT, we remain committed to the circular economy through concrete actions. For this reason, we have donated the reverse osmosis membranes to Ecomemb for regeneration and reuse, thus avoiding their disposal in landfill.
Reverse osmosis membranes are essential filters in water treatment, removing mineral salts and bacteria to obtain the highest quality water for tissue paper manufacturing. When they are no longer functional, instead of throwing them away, they can now have a second useful life.
Thanks to this initiative, we managed to reduce CO₂ emissions by 4,628 kg —associated with the manufacture and transport of new membranes— and prevented the generation of 810 kg of plastic waste. In doing so, we minimise our environmental impact and reaffirm our commitment to environmental management.
ICT Group's 2024 Consolidated Annual Report
It is with great satisfaction that we announce that the ICT Group's 2024 Consolidated Annual Report brochure is now available, attesting to the ever-increasing growth of our group.
Special thanks go to all the people of the ICT Group who, inspired by the company values and with great teamwork, face and manage the continuous challenges on a daily basis in order to achieve the company goals.
World Environment Day - 5 June 2025
Today, on World Environment Day, we reflect on the importance of a sustainable future and our daily commitment to protect the planet we live in.
As a responsible company, we are committed to optimising our production processes as much as possible: we adopt efficient technologies to minimise resource, consumption and emissions.
The 2025 edition of World Environment Day focuses particularly on combating plastic pollution, an issue that has become increasingly relevant in recent years, that affects ecosystems and human health all over the world and that requires action from everyone.
Every action, however small, can contribute to positive change.
In collaboration with Plastic Bank, ICT’s brand Foxy is committed to recovering plastic waste abandoned in the environment. In the first year of this partnership, 15,750,000 plastic bottles were recovered from the environment, supporting our mission to stop plastic pollution.

APRIL 28th – WORLD DAY FOR SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK
Today we celebrate a value that, for us, is not just an anniversary but a daily commitment: the protection of health and safety in the workplace.
We work every day to ensure safe environments, careful processes and a culture of prevention shared by all. From the factory worker to the employee working in the office, everyone must be able to carry out their tasks under the appropriate and legally required safety conditions.
A special thanks to those who, every day, strive to maintain this high standard.
ICT France accelerates its ecological transition
On April 9, 2025, Johan Lemarchand, General Manager of ICT France, Benoît Martin, Director of the Centre-West Territory of ENGIE Solutions, and Joëlle Colosio, Deputy Executive Director of Territories at ADEME, in the presence of Régis Castro, Deputy Prefect of the Montargis district, officially signed the contract for the design, construction, operation, and financing of a biomass heating plant at the ICT site in Pannes (45). With this project supported by the state via ADEME and thanks to an annual steam production covered at 78% by biomass, 11,160 tons of fossil-origin CO₂ equivalent will be avoided each year.
