Our responsibility

We recognise and understand our responsibility to make decisions with people and environment at the forefront.

SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION

BIOMASS ENERGY

For more than 30 years our factory has incorporated biomass into production to store and recycle its wood waste. The recovery of waste such as wood dust and wood chips has been a key element in creating a sustainable development cycle. All organic waste is recycled and turned into energy to power production.

RECOGNITION OF HERITAGE

EPV certification

Saphir has the know-how to offer luxury boot makers and brands a custom-made shoe tree made 100% by hand for a specific shoe as in the old days.

The Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label is a mark of recognition from the French government. It was created to reward French companies that excel in tradition and craftsmanship.

ONGOING RESEARCH

COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE

New production techniques and machinery will improve efficiency and use 30% less timber. This saving of raw material equates to a reduction of 5000km for land transport annually. It is also a goal to certify all shoe trees are 100% recyclable. Saphir will also look to invest in other renewable energy solutions with the introduction of solar to accompany biomass energy.
