Aware of the impact of digital technology, we work every day, through various actions, to limit its negative effects. Today's commitment? Develop practices that ensure digital and responsibility work hand in hand, thanks to our daily commitments. Our approach is to multiply actions to go in this direction, and to raise CSR awareness among our employees in a collective approach.
Our CSR Committee, led by employees from different expertise, allows us to have a 360° vision of subjects, issues, and to get new ideas to implement or to test.
