Career boost Closed loop ACT FOR ALL Day Prevention Since 2023, the Exterior & Lighting Business Group’s “Sustainable Materials Initiative” has focused on preparations for future European regulations encouraging the use of recycled plastic (polypropylene) in a “closed loop”. While the use of recycled plastics in hidden parts is nothing new for OPmobility, this is an unprecedented and ambitious project. It involves external, visible parts with high-level criteria for mechanical and aesthetic quality and it operates within a closed loop from bumper to bumper, recycling and recovering end-oflife bumpers that are between 10 and 20 years old, while other players rely on various sources outside the automotive industry to acquire recycled plastics. We have a dual objective: helping our customers comply with these regulations, which encourages the recyclability of materials, while meeting OPmobility’s own target of a 30% reduction in its scope 3 carbon footprint by 2030. Today, the project is entering its third validation phase. The Group aims to present this initiative to customers from 2026, well ahead of our competitors. OPmobility’s ACT FOR ALL Day epitomizes the Group’s commitment to its teams and the planet. This event was an opportunity for employees on each of nearly 200 sites around the world to come together to reaffirm their commitment. In 2025, the twelfth edition of this global event was held on October 9 and focused on two major themes: safety and diversity. In a video for all teams around the world, Executive Management emphasized the importance of collective vigilance when it comes to safety. Félicie Burelle, Chief Executive Officer, and David Meneses, Executive VP People & Sustainability, also spoke about the extent to which diversity is a competitive advantage and a source of innovation at OPmobility. To achieve its goal of zero accidents, the Group is striving to develop a shared culture of safety. Inspired by popular sayings and proverbs in different languages and from different cultures, OPmobility’s new campaign is designed to put safe behavior at the heart of conversations. This world tour culminates with a tagline reminding us that although there are thousands of ways to talk about safety, the key to success is collective: “One way to do it right: stay alert, together.” A career accelerator for young talent OPmobility, a pioneer of “closed loop” recycling Our global event OPmobility wants to increase youth employment.
