Level of ambition: STI Shaper

Scope of pledges
Programme status. Each participant carries a programme status that reflects the overall progress of its commitments: Engaged (commitments taken, work starting), Shaper (concrete measures under way), Leader (ambitious commitments largely delivered), Champion (the highest level, all commitments achieved and renewed). This status evolves over time.
Pledge levels. Every pledge is classified by ambition level, from 1 to 3, shown as dots next to its thematic. Level 1: a first, foundational commitment. Level 2: a concrete, measurable action with a defined target and timeline. Level 3: the most ambitious commitment, structural and verified against recognised standards.
Progress. Each pledge shows its progress: In progress (work under way within the agreed timeline), Achieved (target reached and validated), Delayed (timeline extended). Alumni companies keep their last recorded pledges and levels.
Founded in 2004, Positive Coating develops innovative surface treatment solutions based on PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) and ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) technologies, mainly for the watchmaking sector. It also offers its services to the leather goods, writing instruments, jewellery and medical technology sectors.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | By 2028, we extend the lifespan of all our PVD and ALD equipment by an average of 15 years, performing level 3 maintenance on 100 % of equipment compared with level 2 maintenance in 2023.*
* Up to level 5 maintenance on certain equipment over 20 years old. According to standard NF-X 60-010. The acquisition of machines will account for 35% of our tCO2eq emissions in 2022. PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition, a method of depositing thin films under vacuum, and ALD stands for Atomic Layer Deposition, a process for depositing atomic thin films. |

| 2 | By 2030, we reduce our tCO2eq emissions (Scope 1, 2 & 3) by 28 % compared with 2022, with a target of tCO2eq in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).*
* Validated by a third-party climate organisation. |

| 3 | By 2030, we reduce the annual energy consumption of 3 of our PVD facilities by 7 %, compared with the 2022 baseline.*
* Planair SA report, June 2022. Trajectory in line with the EnAW agreement.
PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition, a method of vacuum deposition of thin films. |

| 4 | By 2027, we achieve a rate of satisfaction and well-being at work for all our employees of at least 80 %.*
* The satisfaction rate is assessed annually by an external expert organisation. |

Level 1–3: ambition of each pledge (1 = foundational, 3 = most ambitious). The programme status (STI Engaged → Shaper → Leader → Champion) reflects overall progress. SDGs = UN Sustainable Development Goals. Full explanation on the online profile.
