Our 2022 CSR report

We are dedicated to greater transparency and to sharing our CSR policy with our customers in order to put our current initiatives, areas for improvement, future projects and objectives into words. We are also committed to having a more positive impact on our wonderful French company and on the world as much as we possibly can.

We chose local and responsible manufacturing in Nantes for the benefit of all our employees and our region. We carefully select our raw materials and our partners, ensuring that they share our vision and commitment to offering you quality products made from sustainable and responsible raw materials.
