The SOMACA plant is located to the north-east of Casablanca, along the Rabat motorway, in the municipality of Sidi Moumen. The site is in an industrial zone, close to residential areas.
The site was included in the Renault group’s reporting scope in 2006.
ISO 14001 certification earned in early 2008
In 2007, the Environmental Management System (EMS) was implemented at Somaca. This enabled the site to earn ISO 14001 certification. To do so, all the actors in the EMS mobilized the entire workforce around eight targets approved by the management review.
On World Environment Day, an environmental convention was organized. A special edition of the Environment Folder in the Somaca internal newsletter was distributed to staff.
An ambitious environmental progress plan combined with substantial investment was launched in 2006.
