Environmental responsibility

Climate Action

In 2023, we began measuring our environmental impact by calculating our carbon footprint, which allows us to identify critical areas for improvement and set targets aligned with global goals. We have adopted environmentally responsible purchasing practices, prioritising products, and equipment with reduced environmental impact, such as certified chemicals, reusable microfiber materials, and reduced plastic packaging. Our goal is to transition our fleet to electric vehicles.  As of December 2024, 25% of our vehicle fleet comprises electric vehicles.

Responsible Consumption and Production

We collaborate with suppliers and contractors who share our values. Through ESG assessments, we ensure that our strategic partners prioritise issues such as emission reduction and social value creation in the supply chain. As part of our commitment to sustainable solutions, we offer clients products and machinery with high sustainability ratings and prioritise certified chemicals as a standard offering.

Since 2023, our head office has run on 100% renewable electricity. In waste management, we are improving our waste disposal practices and working with partners on reverse logistics for specific items. Our waste reduction efforts include eliminating single-use plastics at our head office and providing reusable kitchenware.

Clean Water and Sanitation

The I-Mop initiative has allowed us to make a tangible impact on global water supplies. Through a 1:1 program, every litre of water saved by the company results in one litre of clean water being donated to communities in developing countries where it is urgently needed.

Social Responsibility

Health and safety are top priorities for our stakeholders. Since 2018, we have held ISO 45001 certification for Occupational Health and Safety Management, ensuring that our operations meet the highest health and safety standards.

Diversity and inclusion are central to our workplace culture, benefiting both our employees and business success. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we deeply value the unique talents and perspectives of our team members. Our employees represent a wide range of nationalities and backgrounds, which fosters a more dynamic, innovative, and supportive work environment. By prioritising diversity and inclusion, we build confidence, drive performance, and create a workplace where everyone can thrive.

Our gender pay gap report is . In an industry that traditionally attracts more female employees, we emphasise career growth, often promoting those who begin as cleaning operatives into senior roles. Many of our female employees now hold senior positions in our organisation, our Senior Management Team has a female majority, reflecting our commitment to gender equality and merit-based advancement.

Governance

Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure

We are committed to innovation and continuously seek opportunities to streamline and modernise our operations. By digitising internal processes, we not only increase efficiency but also reduce carbon emissions, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable practices.

Decent Work and Economic Growth

Our goal is to improve our EcoVadis assessment score annually and maintain ISO certifications for Quality Management (ISO 9001), Environmental Management (ISO 14001), and Health and Safety (ISO 45001). Our compliance with these standards is verified through regular internal and external audits, and we have successfully maintained these certifications over the years.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Every year, Samsic is pleased to release its new Corporate Social Responsibility Report. Through our Samsic Planet 2030 program, you will find our CSR policies, objectives, and initiatives implemented during 2023, in line with our commitments. Here’s an overview.

CSR plays a central role in the Samsic Group’s strategy and is an integral part of our daily operations, at the heart of our agencies and client sites. Through our commitment and actions to serve people, society, and the environment, we are working together to address current challenges and improve our CSR performance.

In order to drive change and structure our approach, we have developed the “Samsic Planet 2030” program, which is based around 4 strategic axes:

  • Participate in the preservation of our environment

    Achieving this ambition requires not only our Low Carbon Pathway, but also the development of an eco-responsible service offering and the definition of a policy promoting the circular economy. Our actions follow a common thread: acting today to protect future generations.

  • Valorise our resources and cultivate our talents

    The group constantly monitors the working conditions, well-being, and professional development of its 125,000 employees. Taking care of its teams is a priority and a guarantee of quality for the services the group provides daily, with rigor and expertise.

  • Offer a responsible and innovative service

    Samsic enhances and optimizes living and working spaces by providing efficient and sustainable solutions that address performance, workplace well-being, and flexibility. With this in mind, innovation is a constant in the services we offer, aiming to improve the daily lives of our clients and their employees.

  • Contribute to the development of a united and sustainable society

    To contribute to a united and sustainable society, the group, along with its employees, strives to support and expand civic initiatives and community-based projects. Similarly, participating in the development of Samsic's locations is a priority, both in France and internationally. The initiatives presented in this report are examples of concrete applications of our commitments.
