Responsibility and sustainability - ALTEN Group

Responsibility and sustainability

Letter from Simon Azoulay
Chairman of the Board and CEO

Our international development and our leading position in the Engineering and Technology Consulting market give us a responsibility to all our stakeholders, be they employees, staff representative bodies, customers, shareholders, suppliers or partners.

CSR STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

Our corporate culture is shaped by core values shared by all of our employees, namely the development of human capital, an engineering culture and the quest for profitable and sustainable growth. In order to meet stakeholders’ requirements and challenges of our business, we rely on a sustainable development strategy structured around three axes.

Committed to creating the world of tomorrow, the women and men who make up the group are the driving force behind our business.

As a major player in the employment and professional integration of young people, ALTEN strives to enhance human capital through a dynamic HR policy that combines diversity, skills development and well-being at work.

The Group has embraced innovation as its moto, helping its customers to strengthen their competitiveness and providing them with the best practices in technologies and development methodologies.

ALTEN has its own Labs and conducts its own Research & Development programs that reconcile the economic, environmental and societal dimensions.

Being a responsible partner means positioning ethics at the heart of our business.

We are building our growth around two basic principles : integrity and transparency. We are therefore determined to outlaw all forms of corruption in our business activities and we apply a “zero tolerance” policy that we disseminate to all of our stakeholders.
We also support strong and meaningful societal initiatives.
