Our CSR support system

Custom-made support
provided and coordinated by our Chief Sustainability Officer
A CSR Committee
constituted with experts to validate the ambition of the action plans defined with the management
A dedicated budget for each portfolio company
to finance investments related to CSR issues
Our Chief Sustainability Officer
My role with our portfolio companies is first to understand their needs and their main challenges, in order to provide them with the best possible tools on CSR matters. Often in SMEs, the time, the budget and the skills to move forward in CSR are lacking. I therefore try to be as pragmatic as possible, to help implement effective and impactful actions and facilitate the appropriation by the teams.
Support in defining a global CSR approach
Our Chief Sustainability Officer assists our portfolio companies in each step of their CSR approach, from the definition of their strategy to the operational implementation of their action plan.
