ISO 14001 certification
Mai 2010
The Groupement des Entreprises du Plateau de Signes (GEPS) has obtained ISO
14001 certification (Level 1) for the Signes Business Park… the first time a
business organisation-led project has pulled this off in France!
Objectives: to raise awareness, encourage, represent the Business Park companies, pool their resources to maintain and improve the quality of life and environmental friendliness.
This innovative approach is based on the mapping of the main business-induced environmental impact factors such as materials storage, the machinery installed, etc.
The environmental remedial and preventative work already undertaken by the GEPS will be continued, drawing on data provided by the twice-yearly map updates.

Strategic sectors
Logistics
The many complementary modes of transport make the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Region (air, rail, sea, river and road) a multimodal platform at the traffic intersection between the Rhone Valley and Southern Europe (Spain and Italy).
Ways and means
The efficient motorway network ensures that the Nice, Marseilles and Aix-en-Provence conurbations are less than one hour’s drive from the centre of the Var, which is at the A8 and A57 motorway intersection.
The "sea motorway" mode is being developed at the Toulon Commercial Port as an alternative to road transport. The goods terminal, located on the main Italy/France/Spain artery, is the linchpin of the industrial complex dedicated to sea-going freight linked to the European rail and road networks, with customs accreditation (temporary customs clearance warehouse and area zone), with guarded vehicle parking….
Toulon’s Commercial Port primarily handles very specific niche goods traffic such as sensitive goods and bulk goods transport by polyrail.
