B CORP CHARTER

INTRODUCTION

Les Grappes’ B Corp policy represents a formal commitment by the company and its leadership to take concrete action to protect the environment and improve the quality of life for its employees as well as for all of its stakeholders. The implementation of this policy falls under the responsibility of Les Grappes’ management. This policy sets goals for achieving medium- and long-term results, for both present and future generations.

Our quality initiatives are always focused on ensuring the satisfaction of our end customers, fulfilling our business commitments, and maintaining the competitiveness of our operations. All commitments and measures related to this policy are consistent with the B Corp policy.

Les Grappes is committed to conducting its business responsibly. This commitment extends throughout its entire value chain. First, Les Grappes seeks to involve its suppliers in this approach: ensuring product quality, upholding fundamental ethical principles, and preventing acts of corruption. Next, we strive to do everything possible to ensure consumer safety, protect their health, and anticipate their future expectations as much as possible.
At a time when environmental protection is at the center of discussions, Les Grappes is committed to a sustainable development approach. We are committed to adopting an approach that integrates environmental factors, in addition to social and economic criteria, when making decisions.

Our B Corp policy is centered on three key areas of corporate social responsibility:

  • Valuing our human capital
  • Improving environmental performance
  • A commitment to a world of civic engagement and solidarity

VALUING OUR HUMAN CAPITAL

Les Grappes is deeply committed to the professional and personal fulfillment of its employees by maintaining open communication and establishing a dedicated team to promote “happiness at work” and employee well-being in the office. Les Grappes is also committed to fostering respect, diversity, and equality within its workplace. In accordance with B Corp values, Les Grappes has developed an employee handbook and internal policies to define the work environment and the rules to be followed so that every employee can thrive.

Equal Opportunity

Our policy on equal opportunity, employee retention, and motivation:

  • Internal promotion
  • Job Security and Full-Time Employment Policy
  • Premises in the heart of Paris that are very easy to reach

Our Commitment to Diversity

  • Application of the principles of non-discrimination in all its forms and at every stage of human resources management: recruitment, training, evaluation, and promotion.
  • Raising awareness among all employees about respecting diversity and the commitment it entails.
  • A commitment to our employees is a core pillar of Les Grappes’ B Corp policy. We strongly encourage open communication.
  • This commitment to diversity applies to all HR aspects of the Clusters (recruitment, safety, training, career development, etc.)
  • Beyond simply providing employment, our mission is also to help each individual chart their own career path so that they can, directly or indirectly, enhance their employability and secure long-term employment.
  • Promote diversity and equal opportunity.
  • We are committed to implementing and continuously improving a policy for the prevention of occupational health and safety risks and to ensuring the well-being of our employees.
  • We are committed to providing our employees with respectful working conditions that comply with current French regulations to ensure the well-being of our teams.

As a testament to our dedication and commitment, the company was awarded the Happy at Work (Start-up) France certification for 2017.

IMPROVING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

Respect for the environment is part of Les Grappes’ DNA, and in accordance with the “Environment” chapter of the B Corp standards, the company is launching numerous initiatives to minimize its environmental impact as much as possible: managing energy consumption (water, electricity), sorting waste (plastic, paper, cardboard, glass), and optimizing logistics.
Reducing our environmental impact involves recycling, reducing paper consumption through increased digitalization, and a complete shift to digital processes. We are committed to providing environmentally friendly services and minimizing waste to reduce both Les Grappes’ environmental footprint and that of our clients.

Our Commitments

  • A policy on eco-friendly practices has been distributed to employees to reduce water, energy, and paper consumption, as well as to limit travel
  • Monitoring our electricity usage with the goal of reducing it.
  • A commitment to a sustainable ecosystem
  • Les Grappes aims to manage and reduce the environmental footprint of its products

A COMMITMENT TO A CIVIC-MINDED AND SOLIDARITY-BASED WORLD

We aim to contribute to our stakeholders’ CSR performance and raise awareness of our B Corp policy. We are committed to diversity and ensuring equal opportunity in our hiring practices, and we work with our suppliers to promote responsible business practices.

We are committed to encouraging and motivating all partners to get involved in reducing our environmental impact.
