CSR and sustainable development
decomatic guides its choices, actions and projects every day, based on a vision and medium and long-term objectives. This is concretely reflected in several commitments, which it has agreed to group together under the name of “Corporate Social Responsibility” or “Sustainable Development ».
They quite simply correspond to the culture of décomatic since 1956. This strong commitment has been recognized by AFNOR Certification in September 2018, which granted us confirmed status in the “Committed to CSR” process.
A CSR APPROACH GEARED TOWARDS CUSTOMERS’ SATISFACTION
In line with its objectives of customer satisfaction, respect for the environment and the sustainability of the company, decomatic’s philosophy has always been the driving force behind:
- The safety and well-being of its internal staff
- A blameless ethics going along with a wide variety of civic involvement externally
Our action in sustainable development is above all an approach guided by constant customer listening. In 2008, we integrated eco-design as a development method for our customers, thus completing our ISO 9001 (from 1996) and ISO 140001 (from 1998) certifications.
In order to take into account all stakeholders, an assessment led by AFNOR Certification awarded decomatic with the status confirmed in the “Committed CSR” process in September 2018.
