Our Commitments
Establishing a recognized responsible approach
Our commitment to sustainable development is paying off. Our EcoVadis score has climbed from 46 to 58 out of 100, reflecting a clear improvement in our environmental, social, and ethical practices.
This achievement is further recognized through the “Entreprise Engagée” badge, which validates the actions we have put in place and motivates us to keep moving forward.
Grounding our activities in universal ethical principles
In February 2026, we reached a significant milestone by joining the United Nations Global Compact.
This membership is a natural extension of our CSR approach and reflects our deep commitment to upholding universal principles: human rights, working conditions, environmental protection, and the fight against corruption.
It also allows us to join an international community of companies driven by the same values of ethics and sustainable development.
Strengthening workplace equality
Gender equality is one of our HR priorities, as evidenced by the improvement in our workplace equality index, which rose from 86 to 93 points in one year.
This progress is the result of initiatives taken to address various disparities: pay, individual raises, and the number of employees from the underrepresented gender among the 10 highest-paid employees, with a constant focus on greater equity in career paths.
Continuously improving our approach
Our CSR approach is based on a philosophy of continuous improvement, with the goal of advancing our commitments and better structuring our actions over time.
As part of this ongoing effort, we are currently working toward obtaining the LUCIE Progress certification, which will recognize the consistency of our approach and all the initiatives we have already implemented in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility.
