Onet publishes its Responsible Development Report 2022

"As early as 2002, Onet embarked on an approach that was not yet known as Corporate Social Responsibility. The company owes this early awareness of social, environmental and regional issues largely to my mother, Elisabeth Coquet-Reinier, who has just passed away and to whom I would like to pay tribute. She played a major role in our company. On her initiative, Onet developed the first program to reduce its impact on the environment: "A present for the future". She then pugnaciously supported the development of the Onet University, which offers our employees training to enhance their skills. Very concerned by the poor housing conditions that affect many people, including among our employees, she created the Onet Foundation, of which she was president.

We will, of course, continue to bring this vision to life by setting ourselves ever more ambitious environmental, social and local objectives. In 2023, on the occasion of the new strategic roadmap cycle, Onet will accelerate its energy transition. Last year, our efforts enabled us to switch part of our fleet to electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as to bioethanol in Brazil. We are now launching a sobriety plan targeting our buildings and digital uses. We're not going it alone on these issues. Onet is a member of the Convention des Entreprises pour le Climat, a movement aimed at aligning business operations with an economy that enables ecosystems to regenerate. To anticipate the challenges of shrinking resources, Onet is also a partner of the Shift Project, a think tank working to free the economy from carbon constraints. We play a decisive role in our own impact, while at the same time working to improve our customers' impact through direct intervention at the heart of their processes.

We are also stepping up our actions in favor of inclusion. In addition to our recruitment, awareness-raising and job retention initiatives through our network of inclusion advisors, we are building partnerships to strengthen our regional initiatives and are introducing new inclusion indicators. Onet has also just signed the latest version of the Diversity Charter, renewing its commitment to combating all forms of discrimination in the workplace. And to enable as many employees as possible to develop their skills, we continue to multiply our programs and create new ones within the Onet University. All sales staff are offered a qualifying course, including a CSR module.

On the social front, we can report encouraging results in terms of health and safety prevention. Although our accident rate has fallen sharply over the past five years, Onet now intends to become a leader in this area. For this reason, we will be stepping up the training of our managers in the culture of prevention. Our aim is to further mobilize and influence all our stakeholders on health and safety issues in the workplace.

These actions and commitments demonstrate our support for the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact and our contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each and every one of us must become a player, at our own level. And ask ourselves, on a daily basis, how we can contribute to building better environments for all."
