Our corporate social responsability (CSR) commitments

The ecological transition requires collective mobilization. It involves our teams, our customers and our partners, but also the beneficiaries of our facilities and our host communities. Together, we will step up our actions to promote basic rights, not to mention the health and safety of the people at the heart of our value chain. Their expertise is what drives our success. We will continue to work closely in communities, everywhere we operate, in an effort to reconcile human and economic development as well as increasing the positive impact of our businesses. Our progress is collective. Corporate Social Responsibility is our guiding principle. We are steadfastly committed to it.
