CSR Approach

A group committed to making a success of the energy and environmental transition, MANERGY has logically adopted a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach.

Our CSR commitments

Manergy works day after day in favour of the energy and environmental transition and wishes to help make the world of tomorrow more responsible.

With regard to its CSR approach, MANERGY’s commitments are underpinned by 3 fundamental principles:

    • An environmental commitment aimed at protecting the environment by implementing more virtuous and sustainable solutions,
    • A social commitment aimed at improving the quality of life and well-being of our staff while also contributing to their professional development,
    • A societal commitment, aimed at having a positive impact on society through our involvement in the territories.

     

    These commitments are part of a continuous improvement process: learn more about our concrete action in these three key areas.
