As a global key player in yeasts and fermentation, Lesaffre designs, manufactures and markets innovative solutions for Baking, Food taste & pleasure, Health Care and Biotechnology. Family group born in northern France in 1853, now a multi-national and a multicultural company, Lesaffre employs 8 300 people. Its Belgian subsidiary, Algist Bruggeman, has launched a bicycle safety awareness programme for its employees.
Algist Bruggeman is attentive to its environmental impact and keen to ensure the safety of employees. It has developed an awareness programme to encourage the use of cleaner transport in full safety.
The subsidiary has implemented an action plan for the safety of employees who travel to work by bicycle in order to become a "bike-friendly" company.
The aim is to encourage employees to use other means of transport than their cars. Facilities have been set up to store employees’ bikes and to allow them to take showers and dry their clothes. Emergency repair kits are available on site and a financial incentive of €0.22/km is paid to employees who travel to work by bike.
Every two years, the company organises a "Bicycle promotion day" and a "Family cycle Sunday" in order to encourage employees' families to get on their bicycles.
