- a structured environmental policy led by our CSR team, including the preparation of a carbon footprint assessment, the monitoring of environmental indicators, an action plan aimed at reducing our impact and raising awareness among our stakeholders about best practices, as well as a regular assessment of our performance, notably through EcoVadis;
- initiatives focused on solidarity and social responsibility, eby supporting more than 15 nonprofit organizations throughout the year through financial contributions, pro bono work, skills-based philanthropy, and Vertone Care Days, which allow our employees to get directly involved in the field.
