4.3.10.3 Enhanced ESG Program

In 2024, the Groupe Procurement Department continued to roll out its CSR compliance program - Enhanced ESG Program, which is based on five mandatory commitments:

  1. application of and compliance with the CSR for Business Guidelines;
  2. accessibility/e-accessibility;
  3. climate commitments around Net Zero by 2050 (at the latest) – and alignment with the Paris Agreement;
  4. CSR assessment by a third party such as EcoVadis (minimum score of 45) with a focus on human rights;
  5. commitment to the Working With Cancer initiative. As part of this advocacy, the Groupe asked its suppliers of various sizes to join the initiative. The objective is that, beyond the commitment made by Company managers, these suppliers put in place concrete measures so that employees who have to face cancer can do so in a favorable professional context (each company being free to decide on its own policy and action plan). Companies that join this advocacy campaign undertake to make their employees aware of the various aspects of internal policy and the ad hoc programs available and accessible to their employees. The objective is to help employees facing the illness (and caregiver employees) with measures that each company is free to choose and implement. This initiative aims to create a large virtuous circle between companies, regardless of their sector, country or industry.
