Our CSR commitments at Blue Soft
To inspire our new CSR policy and commitments at Blue Soft, we have chosen not to have ideas come from above, but to have our consultants contribute with their tremendous energy. Working groups have been organized with volunteer employees from our various subsidiaries at different levels of the organization. The aim of this cross-functional project is to translate the group's commitments into action, based on three pillars:
THE ENVIRONMENT
Generalization of sorting, promoting responsible purchasing and green energy suppliers, setting up a guide to good e-management practices (deleting e-mails, hosting on cloud)...
THE SOCIAL
Encouraging the use of adapted companies, improving the gender equality index, protecting the health of employees, promoting work-study programs and school relationships...
THE ECONOMY
Ensure that our suppliers and subcontractors are in an eco-responsible approach and propose a safety policy when setting up TMA at our customers' sites...
Our CSR commitment Blue Soft
Aware of the environmental and societal challenges at all levels of the organization, our group has decided to make its CSR commitment a major issue in 2022.
As our co-president Thierry Boccara says: " I believe that the images and the events speak for themselves, it becomes just essential. It is a subject on which I have a particular sensitivity. I am a man very close to the nature, a non-urban, and when we see indeed the damages that our societies make undergo to Mother Nature, we owe, in the measure of our capacities, to bring our stone to the building ".
Since 2016, the company has been offsetting the carbon emissions of its headquarters as well as the travel of its consultants by financing projects around the world. Today, we wanted to change scale and method by implementing a CSR policy drafted in a collegial manner.
