For CSR to become a genuine performance driver, it must be integrated at the heart of the company's company's global strategy. This means defining clear and measurable sustainability objectives, aligned with the company's values and missions. These may vary according to the company's business sector, size and strategic priorities. Here are a few examples:

The objective: to reduce GHG emissions. This involves measuring the tonnes of CO2 equivalent emitted per year. - Energy efficiency

The aim is to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill and increase the recycling rate. This involves measuring the tonnes of waste sent to landfill and the percentage of waste recycled. - Use of sustainableraw materials
The aim is to source certified sustainable or renewable raw materials. - Improving working conditions

Regular training programs, workshops and internal communication campaigns can help spread a corporate culture focused on responsibility and sustainability, engaging all employees in contributing to CSR objectives.
