FCU Altitude Selection

Our Company has decided to change the Airbus SOP so that ALT selections on the FCU will be made in 100ft increments (for "safety Considerations"). I have scratched my head for some weeks to understand the dangers of setting the ALT in 1000s as we have always done, but have drawn a blank. Does any other Airbus operator use this method or perhaps I am missing the obvious.
