1 MULTI-ENERGY SITE GROUPE URD - PLAISIANS An organisation which cares about people and the planet. Groupe URD (Urgence-Réhabilitation-Développement) is a research, evaluation and training institute. Its main objective is to help improve humanitarian practices in favour of those who are affected by crises. Their headquarters are located in Plaisians in the Drôme provençale. The decision to set up the organisation in a rural location is not insignificant. It is a way of practicing at home on a daily basis what they promote in other countries. The team has made choices to reduce their environmental footprint, both in terms of technology (solar heated water, ecological insulation materials, rainwater harvesting) and in terms of behaviour (recycling of waste, regular planting of trees, car sharing).
