Our health and safety teams regularly run awareness-raising events on a variety of subjects throughout the year.
In-house experts and outside participants, as well as exhibits, deal with several topics of public interest: combat against cancer, combat against addictions, warnings concerning road safety, whether in a car or on a bicycle, healthy diet, physical activity, etc.
Since 2021, 17 actions have been carried out.
Review of some previous awareness campaigns:
Blood donation
SILAB organizes annual blood donation drives on company premises and during working hours. For the last event in January 2025, 73 blood bags were collected.
Violence against women
Dr. ROSENTHAL, former obstetrician and gynecologist, Honorary President of Gynécologie Sans Frontières and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Maison de Soie, gave a talk at SILAB about violence against women (domestic violence, harassment, etc.) and its impact on health.
Pink October
As part of the Pink October campaign, several events were organized each year for employees.
The 2023 edition included:
- a photographic exhibition;
- workshops on breast cancer screening led by a member of the League against cancer;
- a conference led by a gynecologist on this theme and on the links between cancer and psychotrauma.
Blue March
In 2024, volunteers from the League against cancer led workshops, both to present the actions of this association and to raise awareness of colorectal cancer screening.
Well-being: sophrology
In 2023, a sophrologist came to the SILAB's site to offer employees workshops on the following themes:
- sleep: better management of tiredness linked to work and/or travel;
- relieving symptoms and pain;
- supporting and adapting to change;
- re-mobilizing energy in complex times (change, epidemic...).
Sustainable mobility challenge
In 2024, SILAB took part for the 7th time in a collective challenge on the theme of sustainable mobility: both positive for the planet and for health. Some forty employees got together to opt for alternative forms of transport, saving 1,279 kg of CO2.
Addictions
A member of the Addictions France association and a member of the League against cancer came to SILAB to present the support actions available for themselves or their families in 2023.
Smoke-free month
As part of the "Month without tobacco" campaign in November, the health team regularly carried out an awareness-raising campaign to encourage employees to quit smoking in the interests of their health.
