Corporate Social Responsibility and digital responsibility: 4 questions to Véronique di Benedetto

As we celebrate the European Sustainable Development Week, we met with Véronique di Benedetto, Vice President France, to discuss our CSR positioning as a Responsible Digital Entrepreneur

This week is going to be full of actions around CSR and responsible digital with the Cyber cleanup week, a new challenge with an ambitious collective objective of reducing our digital environmental footprint by 5% (10M emails) at the group level.

We are committed to CSR. But what does this mean in concrete terms and on a daily basis for our external audiences?

And internally?

At Econocom, we have reduced our carbon footprint by 49.70% over the last three years. Our responsibility takes shape at all levels, here are a few examples:

• Disability (signing of a new agreement, rate of over 4%)
• QWL
• Diversity (diversity charter, women in digital, etc.)
• Buildings and car fleet

What are our next challenges?

The challenges ahead are huge and we need to accelerate further. For example, we are going to include the impact of our entire business on our carbon footprint. It will be a real challenge to measure and reduce this impact little by little, without affecting our business.

We are also keen to intensify our commitment to the fight against the digital divide and to work closely with many associations working in this area.

There are many exciting projects to come in the months and years ahead!
