- Strong corporate culture
Our Diversity policy fosters equal opportunity and fights all forms of discrimination in the workplace. Firmly rooted and structured in our work processes since 2005, it is now an integral part of our Corporate Culture.
Our innovative Talent Development policy provides training for all employees throughout their careers, independently of their profession, status or age, thanks to a rich and varied range of training opportunities.
Sharing Best Practices, as an integral part of our Corporate Culture; is conducive to participative innovation. Our Business Units have the tools for sharing and capitalising on expertise. Employee networks like “WE” and “HR Action” foster joint efforts, mutual aid and innovation.
Philippe Vivien, Senior Executive Vice President, Human Resources of the group, stated that “The foundations of our HR policy are stable, sound and secure, as confirmed again this year by the Top Employers 2012 label we received. Our HR teams’ commitment contributes to developing our Corporate Culture and boosting in our 48,000 employees worldwide their professional pride and strong sense of Group identity.”
