It works day by day to reduce as much as possible all its environmental impacts: avoid the pollutions, reduce consumptions of water and energy, recycle wastes and protect the biodiversity of its site. This policy is validated at the highest level and is leaded by a delegated department. It is then developed and shared with all the staffs. The results of environmental and social actions are every year communicated in the annual report of the Museum.To make a commitment for the future in favor of the sustainable development, the Museum plans to create a management system dedicated to the sustainable development in its governance.Le Muséum s'engage à mener une réflexion de développement durable en amont de chaque nouveau grand projet.
