Equality
Each year, companies have to calculate and publish their gender equality index.
But what does it says ? The grade is defined upon 4 criterion (wage gap between men and women, individual pay increases repartition, individual pay increases for co-workers in maternity leave, parity in the 10 highest remuneration in the company).
For 2024, Guérin France obtained de 96/100.
Here are some examples…
- We obtained the CSR label in 2023 following an external audit.
An ethical, IT, and environmental charter is signed by each individual upon joining the company (interns, temporary workers, fixed-term contracts, and permanent contracts). This important document within the company serves as a reminder of essential rules, particularly in the context of CSR. - Whenever possible, we work closely with local partners (suppliers, schools, cinemas, green space maintenance, etc.).
We participate in various local associations. - We sort and recycle our waste, especially offcuts and remnants of raw materials.
We gradually replace outdated lighting systems with more energy-efficient solutions. Presence sensors have been in place for many years, and the heating and air conditioning systems are centrally managed to ensure responsible energy use. - A Quality, Safety, and Environmental competition is organized annually to raise employee awareness on these three important topics.
- We are committed to digitizing documents (pay slips, control cards, etc.) to reduce our paper and ink consumption.
- We stopped using gas in 2023.
We have invested in and rethought our energy consumption (electricity, water, etc.). Action plans have been implemented, leading to a significant reduction in our energy consumption in 2023. - We have installed bicycle racks and established partnerships (such as carpooling) to promote sustainable mobility.
- We invest every year in safety and ergonomics
- Training programs, investments, and preventive and protective measures, among others.
- We adopt a responsible approach to remote work. This helps reduce the carbon footprint associated with commuting while maintaining team spirit and a sense of belonging.
- We have implemented a four-night workweek for night shift workers, allowing them to recover better, maintain a healthier work-life balance, and reduce the number of commutes.
- A unilateral decision was signed in 2023 to allow employees to donate rest days to colleagues facing personal difficulties, fostering solidarity within the company.
- Every year, we organize a random draw for the various gifts received from our partners. This ensures that all gifts are pooled together, giving every employee a fair chance to win a prize.
- Employees have permanent access to strategic indicators. Additionally, two employees, on a voluntary and rotating basis, are invited to quarterly meetings to stay informed about action plans, key performance indicators of each department, and discussions on important topics.
- And finally, our mission speaks for itself: “Filters by Guerin for a sustainable future.”
Our ambition: to provide sustainable and recyclable filtration solutions through our products and contribute to improving our environment through their impact.
The second key aspect of CSR concerns environmental protection.
The growing awareness of ecological issues has led companies to adopt more environmentally friendly practices. Today, they are encouraged—or even required—to reduce their carbon footprint, adopt more sustainable production methods, and promote recycling and waste reduction.
Companies can also engage in awareness and training initiatives to encourage their employees and customers to adopt more environmentally responsible behaviors.
Finally, the third aspect of CSR involves responsible corporate governance.
Companies that embrace a responsible approach strive to establish a culture of ethics and transparency in their operations. This includes implementing strong governance mechanisms, managing human resources responsibly, combating corruption, and taking stakeholders’ interests into account.
