Results to match our determination

We have been working hard since 2022 to develop our CSR department, determine the actions to be taken and thus meet the first objectives at stake in the Ecovadis rating, which awarded us the bronze medal in 2023, then silver in 2024 and then gold in 2025.

In 2025, we renewed our strong commitment with a constant improvement of our actions and the reward of a gold medal with our position in the top 5 out of 100.

The two players we approached, Ecovadis and Objectif CO2enable us to set achievable objectives in the short, medium and long term.

Défi Groupe will soon be offering more carbon-free services to encourage our customers to choose more eco-responsible services.
