MNHN Museum national d'Histoire naturelle

The National Natural History Museum is officially committed in a voluntary initiative of sustainable development since 2008. The sustainable development is an essential component, allowing the protection and the valuation of the environment, the economic development and the social evolution. This is why the Museum has to be an exemplary and innovative institution in this domain.

The Museum makes a commitment to make a full analysis of sustainable development upstream to each new project. So, it can identify the impacts and set objectives every involved department of the institution. 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.
