CSR & Environment

Environmental and societal issues are assuming increasing importance. Companies are required to adapt their business models to secure their long-term future, meet the expectations of their stakeholders and limit their environmental impact while increasing their positive effects on society. This is where corporate social responsibility (CSR) comes in.

CSR has become an essential catalyst for reconciling economic performance with a positive societal and environmental impact. No organization can fully operate without a CSR policy, it has become a fundamental pillar inseparable from corporate strategy. It reappraises a company’s priorities, governance and steering indicators from the perspective of sustainable growth for the benefit of performance.

Your challenges

Get in touch

Regional philanthropy

  • Every year, we sign sponsorship agreements with various organizations and associations. By way of example, in 2023, we were sponsors for over 100 days.
  • Since 2023, we have been a partner of Nos quartiers ont des talents (NQT), an association that promotes the professional integration of local young graduates, through which we mentor young professionals and pass on our knowledge and experience.

Partnerships with schools

  • We invest in our team members’ schools and alumni networks, and regularly take part in their events: company forums, entrance competitions, challenges, case studies, hackathons, etc.

Local charity events

  • We take part in charity events in our regions all year round, often initiated by our team members. Examples include the Toulouse and Paris marathons (2022, 2023 and 2024), awareness-raising and fundraising for Pink October (2023), Clean my Calanques (2024) and the Pink October race (2024).

Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions

  • Since 2022, our annual carbon footprint has been calculated by a qualified service provider (in accordance with the GHG Protocol).
  • We use this GHG assessment to evaluate and correct our scope 1, 2 and 3 reduction trajectory.

Sustainable purchasing and waste management

  • Our purchasing policy prioritizes purchases of reconditioned equipment or products made by environmentally engaged suppliers whenever possible, such as French non-profit organizations set up to help disabled people find work (like ESAT), in line with our continuous improvement approach.
  • We have set up selective sorting and recycling systems in each of our offices for paper/cardboard, metal, plastic and glass waste.

Promoting soft mobility

  • We pay 75% of our team members’ public transport fares.
  • We travel by train for business trips, as part of our Company Agreement, to reduce our carbon footprint.

Building on sustainable IT

  • Our website is eco-designed and developed, in line with our purpose and commitments (WCAG).
  • We give our used IT equipment to our team members’ children, associations or local schools.

Encouraging diversity and equal opportunity

  • We have a fair and inclusive recruitment process that gives everyone an equal chance, whatever their level of experience, origin or religion.
  • Our “Diversity” charters testify to our zero tolerance of all forms of discrimination.
  • We recruit students responsibly every year on work-study contracts and in internships, to help integrate young people into the world of work.
  • We have partnered with the Nos quartiers ont des talents association which accompanies disadvantaged young graduates, helping young professionals along the path to employment and facilitating the transmission of knowledge between generations.
  • We have assigned a representative in the fight against discrimination and promotion of diversity, Jennifer Borderie, whom our team members and candidates can contact in reference to such issues.
  • We have also set up a free helpline in collaboration with Malakoff Humanis to assist team members in difficult situations, for example due to harassment, discrimination, illness, social fragility or disability. (Phone: 3996.)

Promoting and accelerating gender equality

  • Our 2023 Company Agreement includes exceptional leave for female team members in the event of an abortion.
  • We offer parenting support including tripartite interviews on leaving for and returning from maternity and paternity leave.
  • Our professional equality index is the focus of a specific action plan. It stands at 93/100 for 2024 and is constantly improving.

Across-the-board CSR

All our offices have joined the Climate Fresk initiative, where during the workshops, we roll out our awareness-raising campaigns.
  • Our corporate project supports initiatives addressing the core issues and fields of action covered by ISO 26000.

A participatory, consultative approach

  • We assign an ambassador to relay our corporate project in each of our offices. It is their role to align the policies of our Executive Committee, Management Committee and Works Council with our teams’ proposals.
  • We use visual management techniques to communicate the progress of our corporate project in each office, and to collect questions, suggestions and contribution requests from our teams.

Business ethics

  • We have an Ethics Charter with a code of conduct that governs all professional relations with our partners based on seven immutable principles: solidarity, integrity, respect for others, honesty, rigor, loyalty and respect for professional secrecy. This encourages our suppliers to also act responsibly and protect the environment.
