Let's Build a Sustainable Future Together!
Our Sustainability Promise
What is CSR about ?
The CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) refers to all the practices put in place by companies so as to match the sustainable development principles, i.e.:
- be economically viable,
- have a positive impact on society,
- but also better respect the environment.
This concept has rapidly become a significant concern of companies during the past years. The current climate crisis requires indeed a rapid and global change. Companies must choose to implement energy and digital transition, and this must be in line with a sustainable progress.
The Beginnings of our CSR Strategy
It all started with the certificate of commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility delivered by the French Union of Metallurgy Industries (UIMM):

The second step consisted in analyzing the evolution of our CO₂ emissions based on the carbon assessments carried out:
- Confirmation of the breakdown of our emissions across the different scopes
- We are continuing our carbon footprint calculations and are continuing to study and implement measures to reduce our carbon footprint, particularly in scopes 1 and 2.

In the words of the Carbon Project Manager
The previous carbon assessment enabled us to implement concrete actions to reduce our environmental impact.
As part of our commitment, we have reduced our energy consumption, resulting in a 31% decrease in Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions and a 37% decrease in Scope 2 emissions compared to 2015.
This reduction is the result of several actions, such as the installation of heat pumps, the insulation of administrative buildings, the replacement of lighting with LED bulbs, and the implementation of an energy efficiency policy.
We are moving in the right direction and continue to implement actions to achieve our greenhouse gas emissions reduction target.
