B2B partnership to optimise refurbishing processes of change to electrical appliances

What did they do?

Fédération Envie received funding from Michelin Foundation to optimise refurbishing processes on home appliances and improve working conditions of employees throughout Envie's workshops in France.

What was the impact?

Michelin Foundation’s support has played a crucial role in improving the operational efficiency of Envie's workshops, as well as the workplace environment. The funding has facilitated a number of initiatives, including the funding of two employees working on the management of the workshops; research on devices to improve working conditions; the development of more effective repair techniques and tools, aided by an ergonomic assessment; and the introduction of new procedures for the optimisation of reuse processes through on-site training.
