CSR
OUR COMMITMENTS
PROCOVES places corporate social responsibility (CSR) at the heart of its daily and strategic concerns.
One of the pillars of PROCOVES’ policy is to pursue concrete actions in favor of sustainable development in order to contribute to global challenges.
The Engagé RSE label (“Committed to CSR” label) has several advantages for organizations engaged in mature CSR initiatives.
It is a tool for:
- strategic reflection and appropriation of CSR issues ;
- internal mobilization ;
- management to build, structure and improve its CSR approach ;
- to enhance the credibility of its CSR approach in the eyes of internal and external stakeholders.
The Engagé RSE label is based on an 8-chapter reference framework containing 55 assessment criteria that challenge the organization on all 7 principles and 7 central questions of the international ISO 26000 standard.
PROCOVES AND STGS SET THEMSELVES AMBITIOUS GOALS IN THE SERVICE OF PEOPLE, THE ENVIRONMENT AND THEIR PARTNERS.

These actions are in line with the Marmon Group’s global policy.
