They chose the Positive Company® Label
Discover how our label has transformed the image and impact of our labeled entities.
We wanted to get certified with another label, and we quickly ran into difficulties understanding complex processes. Positive Company presented itself as a solution because the standards, particularly environmental ones, are based on European norms, so it made more sense for us to go with a Made in France label.
I recommend Positive Company to those who want to engage their stakeholders in an authentic CSR approach and benefit from human support throughout the process. It’s an excellent way to structure and enhance their commitment while having real support to make concrete progress.
