Our CSR commitments

Purchasing policy

We pay particular attention to ethical business practices with our partners. We have been working for over 15 years with a long-standing panel of suppliers with whom we maintain a partnership of trust, which is why we have engaged in a true dialogue with them on all issues of social and environmental impact in order to confirm and solidify fair practices, duty of care and anti-corruption.

Our Responsible Purchasing policy in 2024

1- Drafting of a Responsible Purchasing Charter, currently signed by 95% of our suppliers.

2- Modification of our general conditions of purchase to include commitments linked to our Responsible Purchasing Charter.

3- Commitment to a minimum average payment term for suppliers.

4- Continue to maintain a relationship of trust with our suppliers and create lasting links and ongoing dialogue on our respective CSR issues.
