Fairtrade Breakfast

Le jeudi 6 novembre 2014 la Délégation du Personnel et le Comité RSE ont eu le plaisir d'inviter à  un petit-déjeuner organisé sous le signe de la "consommation responsable" 

Les produits provenant de filières de commerce équitable ne sont qu'une composante de la consommation responsable. Etre un "consom'acteur" c'est aussi consommer des produits issus de l'agriculture locale et biologique. Sur le buffet le staff a pu trouver : café, thé, jus de fruits, miel, fruits, lait, pains, confitures....exclusivement de production " biologique", "home made", "locale luxembourgeoise" ou issus du commerce équitable.
