Beyond our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, we are mobilizing all the skills of our collaborators in the continuous improvement process of our CSR approach.
People and the energy transition at the heart of our approach
The CVA group develops innovative solutions, contributes to renewable energy research, continuously improves its practices and internal usage by raising employee awareness, reduces and rationalizes its consumption and purchases, questions its governance methods, and modifies its practices.
Our key focus areas:
● to be a major French player in the energy transition
● to engage our employees in questioning governance models
● to ensure the quality of working conditions for our collaborators
● to reject any form of inequity within the company and promote fairer inclusion of employees with differences
● to support inclusive initiatives (businesses, associations, etc.).
Collaborators at the heart of the approach
Since 2020, our CSR approach has continued to evolve and is now structured around shared governance. Today, two key entities steer and support our commitments, backed by a participatory framework open to all employees.
The Executive Committee brings together all business and department managers. It defines the company’s CSR strategy, makes strategic decisions, and ensures their implementation in coordination with internal working groups.
Actions
● sets strategic priorities,
● decides on key commitments (Carbon Footprint Report, CSR Manifesto, certifications, memberships, etc.),
● drives awareness initiatives (CSR engagement platform, info flashes, Health Days, etc.).
Made up of volunteer employees, the CSR Collective explores governance topics, proposes recommendations, and co‑organizes environmental and social initiatives.
Actions
● examines internal topics (work organization, parenthood, equality, inclusion, flexible work practices, etc.) to formulate proposals for the Executive Committee,
● implements solidarity initiatives: educational games, donations, collections, clean‑up operations…
These workshops bring together employees who wish to work on the CSR themes defined by the Executive Committee. They contribute to drafting concrete deliverables such as policies and charters, and are also free to propose new areas for exploration.
Actions
● defining the company’s Purpose,
● drafting the Human Rights Charter,
● developing DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) policies…
A 100% CVA platform
We have developed our own platform in-house. Luci enables our staff to explore topics related to CSR, as well as to gain a better understanding of the Group’s areas of expertise, business lines and know-how. Collaborative and open, it offers every employee the opportunity to suggest content, share expertise, promote a role or highlight a topic close to their heart.
Designed with sustainability in mind, Luci has incorporated energy-efficient technical solutions from the outset, notably through an automatic standby system that minimises unnecessary energy consumption.
