Within the ECF Group, a strong, shared sense of environmental and social responsibility is part of our daily work. This is reflected in three commitments to which we have adhered strictly for 15 years.
This is concretely translated into 3 commitments that we have been defending for 15 years now.
Our Sustainable Development efforts were formalised in 2004 when we signed the United Nations “Global Compact” charter. Our commitment to the environment, people, solidarity and diversity is reflected in everything we do. These principles, which shape the ECF Group culture, are firmly grounded in a bedrock of enduring values that are shared by all our employees and partners
Minimise our environmental footprint and promote environmental protection
Market environmentally responsible solutions
Build respectful, inclusive and fair working relationships
To minimize the impact of our activities, we are continually seeking to implement best practices and to favor solutions that have a small environmental footprint or allow us to reduce it, whether in terms of our waste, energy or fuel consumption. In addition, the Group is committed to reducing its climate change footprint within its operational perimeter and across its value chain.
Training, involving, enhancing: the company makes its employees aware of the issues shaping today’s world and provides them with an experience that is all the more powerful because it is shared, supportive and forward-looking.
Supporting clients in their environmental transition is a commitment shared by all the group’s subsidiaries. We are also committed to developing solid, constructive and lasting relationships with all our stakeholders.
The group is committed to matching the needs of its customers with the search for more ecological alternatives, sustainable products or products with a reduced impact on the environment.
Thus ECF Group sources and selects products with the most rigorous labels, such as FSC, PEFC, Ok Compost and European Ecolabel, or with less impact on the environment and respectful of human health
We are committed to developing solid and lasting relationships with all our stakeholders, whether they be our suppliers, our service providers, our customers or the associations we support.
