Road safety

Enabling our drivers to set an example when it comes to road safety

Road safety is a constant priority and forms part of a responsible risk prevention policy shared by all Norbert Dentressangle employees.

In 1991, the company launched its Safe Driving Plan. This road risk management programme encourages drivers to adopt, under all circumstances, an approach to driving that aims to prevent accidents, mainly by means of defensive driving. The Safe Driving Plan is both a driving training tool and a continuous development strategy.
