Ensure independent, fair governance that engages our stakeholders

The fifth pillar of our CSR strategy focuses on engaging our stakeholders and safeguarding our independence.
We are firmly committed to pursuing SERFIM's transformation, closely aligned with our corporate purpose. Simply because our company does not exist in a vacuum, separate from the world or living ecosystems. It is at the heart of life itself. And like all other businesses, the quality of life on the planet we leave to our children will depend upon it.

Raising awareness

As part of our CSR strategy, we want to empower our employees to take action. This means providing them with all the resources they need to take initiatives and get involved in our environmental and societal priorities. This begins first and foremost with understanding the challenges at hand. We have chosen to start with the issue of climate change, using a simple and effective educational tool: the Climate Fresk, which we are systematically rolling out across our teams, either through our business branches or as part of our training programs.

Corporate Philanthropy

In 2015, SERFIM created its own endowment fund, SERFIM Mécénat, with the ambition of supporting projects aligned with the company's core values.
This dedicated fund aims to support local initiatives in the regions where we operate, acting in areas such as solidarity, health and equality for all, while also supporting
associations that work directly within our priority CSR fields.

In 2022, we decided to open up this endowment fund to our employees by launching a call for projects, inviting them to present the associations they are personally involved with on a daily basis. A 100% internal jury selected the initiatives aligned with our CSR strategy.

In 2024, SERFIM Mécénat supported 23 employee projects.

Innovation

Innovation is a powerful driver that enables us to respond coherently to the needs of our clients and regions. It also allows us to stay a step ahead in our fields and drive progress, both in the solutions we offer and the way we implement them. Our employees are the source of all our innovations, which is why we are committed to highlighting their ideas, notably through the Eurêka contest, which each year rewards the best innovations in our businesses.

Governance

Our priority: to guarantee the long-term viability of a 100% independent mid-sized company (ETI) and secure the sustainable employment of our staff.

Business Ethics

Business ethics is at the heart of the commitments made by SERFIM and its management bodies.
SERFIM calls on every employee to conduct their actions and fulfill their responsibilities in strict compliance with current laws and regulations regarding business ethics and integrity standards. The code of conduct, which defines the principles and rules applicable within each group entity, has been integrated into the internal regulations of those entities.
