A label aligned with international standards
The standards are based on 5 themes inspired by the 7 pillars of ISO 26000, the GRI and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
These standards support a European vision of CSR , i.e. imposing strong regulatory constraints, involving a greater diversity of stakeholders and reporting subject to verification by an Independent Third Party Organisation..
They continually incorporate new European regulations such as CSRD, Taxonomy and the Sustainability Corporate Due Diligence Directive.
Discover the 5 audit themes
The "Business" pillar looks at the core of the business model: the goods and/or services around which the labelled organisation's offering is built.
The aim is to propose possible developments for a more responsible business model, by adapting the offer to current social and environmental issues.
The "governance" pillar assesses the way in which the company and its hierarchy are organised. Diversity and parity within management bodies are therefore at the heart of this pillar.
We also look at how risks are identified and managed within the organisation and how benefits are shared among the company's ecosystem. Overall, the integration of CSR into decision-making is a major focus of this pillar.
The "social" pillar covers all the elements integrated into the human resources policy of the labelled organisation.
It therefore includes remuneration, training (on topics specific to the business, but also on key social and environmental issues) and career plan management.
The social pillar also relies heavily on the quality of the working environment offered by the organisation and consequently the well-being of its teams. Finally, issues of equality, diversity and inclusion are addressed under this pillar.
The environmental pillar of the label is essentially based on the company's consumption of resources. These include raw materials and energy consumed directly or indirectly by the business and its employees in the course of their work.
Climate commitment (greenhouse gas emissions), the impact on biodiversity and land artificialisation are key issues. The main areas for action are transport (towards soft mobility), responsible digital technology and carbon commitment.
The "societal" pillar covers issues relating to the organisation's impact on society and the local area. The sustainable procurement policy (in favour of small businesses, local employment and local consumption) is at the heart of this issue.
Responsible communication is a key element, as is dialogue with internal and external stakeholders. Solidarity, partnership and sponsorship actions and commitments are also highlighted in this pillar.
