CSR concerns all companies, whatever their size.
Implementing such a policy within a company has many advantages, and is in keeping with the times.
The health crisis has largely changed the way people think about work and amplified environmental concerns, accelerating the need for companies to take these issues into account if they are to remain attractive and competitive.
What is CSR?
Corporate social responsibility is defined by the European Commission as “the voluntary integration by companies of social and environmental concerns into their commercial activities and their relations with stakeholders”.
In other words, when a company decides to implement a CSR policy, it wants to develop its business while contributing to the challenges of sustainable development.
A company that implements this type of policy therefore seeks to have a positive impact on society.
To achieve this, our CSR policy is based on three fundamental pillars:
- The economy
- Social
- Environmental
What are the advantages of implementing a CSR policy within my company?
Implementing a CSR policy has many advantages for companies of all sizes.
- Implementing such a policy within the company helps to create an enhanced brand image and to stand out from the competition.
- CSR policy is a source of attractiveness for the company: to attract customers who are sensitive to such a policy, or even to win new business, but also in the context of recruitment to attract new talent, sensitive to current societal issues.
- This policy can also attract new investors, who are increasingly taking this type of policy into account.
- CSR guarantees a pleasant working environment for employees, thus promoting employee loyalty and reducing the risk of turnover.
- This type of policy can also be a particular source of motivation for employees, who will identify with the values advocated by the company, which can have an impact on their productivity for the benefit of the company.
- CSR also enables companies to make significant savings in the short and medium term, by reducing waste, cutting water and electricity consumption and cutting staff turnover.
- Our CSR policy also enables us to anticipate future regulatory changes, which will be inevitable in environmental matters.
In the light of current considerations, companies wishing to remain competitive and attractive will necessarily have to take environmental and societal issues into account in their policies.
Implementing a CSR policy is part of this trend, and represents a real investment for these companies.
