Our Commitments
“It seemed natural to me to commit to the CSR approach. In fact, the work we’ve been doing for many years is entirely compatible with this approach. It will enable us to structure our actions for the smooth running of the company now and in the future, while at the same time highlighting the value of our stakeholders, with a view to continuous improvement.”
