The CSR charter, a relevant strategy for us?

Convinced of the multiple advantages linked to CSR, we consider this approach as an exceptional way of detecting our weaknesses and providing solutions to them. Our goal is to deliver innovations aimed at minimizing the environmental and societal impact of our products, operations and services.

Although the regulation currently only requires large companies to adopt a CSR charter, it is soon considering extending this obligation to SMEs and VSEs. This is why we choose to prepare today.
