SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY CHARTER (CSR)

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) consists of,
for a company to integrate social and environmental issues into its
business activities and its relationships with its stakeholders.

The approach involves simultaneous and long-term research
term of objectives linked to the three pillars of sustainable development:

1. Economic responsibility

Terraillon undertakes to:

  • Optimize customer satisfaction and remain attentive to their expectations and comments with a view to continuous improvement,
  • Prioritize respect for mutual interests ,
  • Respect business law and fight against any abusive practice,
  • Establish and maintain mutually beneficial and equitable relationships with its suppliers.

2. Social responsibility

Terraillon undertakes to:

  • promote diversity and fight against all forms of discrimination in hiring, remuneration and professional development,
  • facilitate the entry into professional life of young graduates through work-study programs and company internships,
  • promote gender parity,
  • promote local employment,
  • be attentive to the journey of people with disabilities: annual contract for the maintenance of the building's green spaces with Avenir Apei, a parental association which welcomes and supports people with intellectual disabilities, autistic people, people with multiple disabilities and/or people with a mental disability from early childhood and throughout their lives.
  • promote cohesion within the company by creating and maintaining social dialogue,

  • set up systems for assessing qualifications and skills or training systems for its employees: annual interview, professional interview, training plan,
  • encourage initiatives that promote conviviality within the company: company seminar, end-of-year meal, summer barbecue, break room with TV and table football, unlimited hot drinks, etc.

  • implement actions to promote employee well-being: working conditions, quality of premises, provision of a shower, provision of a kitchen and break room, teleworking agreement,
  • ensure that its suppliers, particularly Asian ones, respect certain ethical and social criteria by signing a charter and complying with certain standards and certifications (BSCI/SEDEX SMETA),
  • develop actions for the benefit of the general interest: membership in the 1% for the Planet collective by donating 1% of the annual turnover of the Green Collection range, directly to 1% approved associations or to their endowment fund (non-profit organization, collection and donation).

In 2023 we supported the association Dons solidaires which collects unsold new non-food items to redistribute them to the most deprived. We also donate products to associations, schools and healthcare establishments (AP-HP study on obesity, Necker hospital to weigh premature babies, etc.).

  • be involved in actions to support the socio-economic development of its territory, in particular via the apprenticeship tax

3. Environmental responsibility

Terraillon is committed to minimizing the impact of its products on the environment by:

  • removing plastic bags from packaging: 1.8 million fewer plastic bags on the market since 2020
  • minimizing the size of product packaging
  • promoting recycled plastic and natural materials as well as recycled cardboard packaging in its Green Collection products
  • adopting environmental thinking in the process of developing its products
  • ensuring the durability of its products
  • reducing the number of batteries placed on the market by promoting rechargeable batteries or products without batteries (rechargeable battery, dynamo)
  • working on a second-hand product distribution project

Terraillon is committed to minimizing the impact of its activities on the environment by:

  • favoring public transport as much as possible and the use of “soft” means of transport (50% reimbursement of the NAVIGO package)
  • reducing the carbon impact of its vehicle fleet: elimination of diesel engines, integration of hybrid vehicles into the fleet,
  • pushing for convergence towards “zero paper”, particularly through the digitalization of documents,
  • limiting its waste production and promoting its recovery and recycling: sorting bin, used battery collection bin,
  • controlling its energy consumption: reversible heat pump, gradual transition to LED ceiling tiles

As a committed player, Terraillon carried out an initial assessment of its greenhouse gas emissions in 2024 in order to identify the main emission sources, establish a reduction trajectory aligned with climate objectives and integrate a sustainable mitigation strategy into its value chain.
