Sustainability
PRECISION IN EVERY DETAIL,
CARE IN EVERY ACTION
The same care that goes into every weave of Simonis pool cloth, every roll of Strachan snooker cloth, every Playne’s tennis felt, and every polish of an Aramith billiard ball also guides how we manage our energy, our sourcing and the well-being of our people worldwide.

Section E (environnement)
In 2025, Iwan Simonis Group completed its first greenhouse gas inventory based on 2024 data. Using the Bilan Carbone methodology and aligned with the GHG Protocol, the Group’s total carbon footprint amounts to 52,780.6 tCO2e, with emissions distributed across Scope 1 (9%), Scope 2 (4%), and Scope 3 (87%).
Looking ahead, the Group’s priority is to improve energy efficiency across all billiard cloth production facilities and pool table cloth manufacturing sites. Iwan Simonis SA already achieves 73% of its electricity consumption through self-generated renewable electricity from solar panels. In parallel, the Group is transitioning its company vehicle fleet to fully electric and plans to install charging stations at both Andrimont and Callenelle sites by 2026.
Saluc also follows EMAS standards to support a structured environmental management system and drive continuous improvement in environmental performance. WSP is also proud to respond every year to the EcoVadis assessment, receiving a Bronze medal in 2025.
Section S (Social)
In 2024, Iwan Simonis Group focused on the internal transfer of its unique technical expertise, complemented by internal and external training to continuously develop employees’ skills. Specific initiatives, particularly at WSP Textiles Ltd, included digital learning platforms, support for university programs, and actions related to well-being and leadership development.
Professional development is a key priority for the Group: annual performance reviews are conducted, with regular follow-ups at WSP Textiles Ltd, while at Saluc SA a demographic fund supports employees over the age of 45 by adapting workstations to their needs. The Group also fosters team cohesion through company-wide events, especially end-of-year celebrations that bring employees together.
Looking ahead, the Group aims to further structure its training framework, improve the monitoring of learning activities, and strengthen skills development through new programs, certifications, and targeted recruitment.
Health and safety are key priorities for Iwan Simonis Group, which goes beyond legal requirements through regular risk assessments and continuous workplace improvements. Employees receive mandatory safety training, complemented by additional prevention and awareness initiatives. The Group also supports well-being through enhanced medical follow-ups, mental health assessments, and actions to improve ergonomics and working conditions.
Section G (Governance)
In 2024, Iwan Simonis Group strengthened long-term, trust-based partnerships with its suppliers, emphasising transparency, flexibility and collaboration, while prioritising European sourcing whenever possible. The Group also ensures high-quality and responsible sourcing, notably through WSP Textiles Ltd partnerships with wool suppliers from New Zealand and Australia.
The Group is also affiliated with leading cue-sports federations worldwide. Through these collaborations, Iwan Simonis Group works with key stakeholders to drive innovation and support the sustainable development of cue sports.
