The company Factem is committed to developing its CSR policy and obtains the Bronze certification through the Ecovadis rating system. Ecovadis is a leading platform in the CSR market that assesses companies' performance in environmental, social, and societal aspects, as well as responsible purchasing.

For several years, Factem has integrated social and environmental concerns into its development strategy, both in its internal activities and in its relationships with stakeholders. Thus, the company is involved in local social actions such as assisting the 'Le sourire de Justine' association, supporting the Bayeux football club, and the International Circus Festival of Bayeux. FACTEM is also committed to environmental preservation and has created a position for an HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) manager within the company to have a positive impact on the environment. This begins with the creation of an CSR and environmental policy adopted by all 70 employees of the company. CSR is also a development axis to meet the new requirements of clients who increasingly want to collaborate with socially responsible companies.

Alain Dulac, CEO, speaks about the importance of CSR in the company: 'For many years, FACTEM has developed actions to protect the environment and ensure that working conditions are in place to promote the good integration and fulfillment of various actors (employees, customers, suppliers, ...). These different practices were not always formalized, and, like Mr. Jourdain, who spoke prose without knowing it, we practiced CSR without knowing it. The interest for FACTEM to formalize this approach through the ECOVADIS platform is multiple. Firstly, it allows to list all the actions implemented over the years. And obtaining the Bronze level in the first audit is proof that they are numerous and effective. Secondly, formalization allows the company to highlight what it has been able to implement. This is important vis-à-vis our clients who have added this aspect to the tenders they send us. It is also important for our employees, to encourage them to stay with us but also for those we are trying to attract. It is a strong message for those who, beyond the position and remuneration, seek meaning in their professional commitment. And they are more and more numerous. Finally, this ECOVADIS Bronze certificate is not a finishing point. On the contrary, it is the starting point, certainly well advanced already, of a commitment in a process that must now lead us to the next steps SILVER and GOLD. These certificates are only valuable if they truly represent FACTEM's commitment to contribute to an improvement in society and the well-being of all through increased attention to the weakest and our environment.'

Jill Lair, Quality Technician in charge of HSE, confirms the importance of developing CSR in the company:

'The obtaining of this certification shows that Factem is a committed company for sustainable development, social responsibility, and good working conditions for our employees. We commit to maintaining and improving our certification through an action plan that we will implement and that will allow us to increase our skills in these disciplines.'
