Econocom - 2020 annual report

03 corporate social responsibility nurture our excellence through responsible commitment

Tender offers for the top two categories of purchases (mainly outsourced services) now factor in supplier selection criteria (social and/orenvironmental).Econocomchampions the idea that CSR should above all be based on dialogue with its stakeholders and on pooling strengthsand resources. That is how the Group and its stakeholders can make the best contribution to sustainable development. As such, Econocom subsequently renewed its CSR charter and strengthened this approach by sending a CSR self-assessment questionnaire to a few strategic suppliers. This form aims to quantify the results of its partners from a social, environmental, market behaviour, regional and governance perspective. In addition, Econocomalso uses work-based assistance institutions and services (ESAT) to help people with disabilities in their social and professional inclusion. GENERAL DATA PROTECTION 1.3.5.
