Corporate Social Responsibility
President’s Message
‘At Grant Alexander, we are all committed to the businesses and leaders we serve. All of us are driven by the same conviction that our role is both economic and social. By helping organisations and their leaders to develop their performance on both fronts, we are humbly taking action to build a future, a society that we fervently hope will be more responsible and sustainable.
This social and ethical approach is part of our DNA and our values. We live it on a daily basis, in our practices but also in our choices of individual and collective commitment.
In 2021, we were certified under the international CSR standard ISO 26000, and in 2024, we received recognition from EcoVadis, reaffirming our commitment to taking concrete action to become more responsible.
Together, let’s commit ourselves with enthusiasm to build tomorrow!’
Our CSR PROCESS
The company committed itself to a certification process at the end of 2020. It mobilised its internal and external stakeholders in order to work on the principles of action on which to progress. After an on-site audit by RSEVAL, the independent labelling committee composed of CSR experts awarded Grant Alexander the Lucie 26000 label in November 2021!
After three years of structuring its approach with a generalist CSR label recognized in the French market, the group chose EcoVadis, the international leader in CSR performance evaluation, to support its continuous improvement process while embracing a dynamic of transparency.
“Committed Company” – EcoVadis
In 2024, the group earned the “Committed Company” badge, recognizing its tangible efforts in social, ethical, and environmental domains.
By continuing its partnership with EcoVadis, Grant Alexander reaffirms:
- its commitment to respecting all its stakeholders (clients, employees, suppliers, partners, etc.) in alignment with the principles of sustainable development;
- its ambition to strengthen its positive impact through stringent policies and robust measures, coordinated by the Group’s Quality/RSE and DPO Manager, Léa Suarez-Baylac.
OUR ACTIONS
Our CSR process is core to our company project and our team has been making a concerted effort for several years now, through various initiatives targeting the different social, environmental and ethical aspects.
Ethics
We are active members of Syntec Conseil‘s Recruitment, Coaching and Outplacement, SD/CSR and Promotion and Communication Divisions, with regard to gender equality, in order to help our businesses and practices evolve.
All our consultants have signed Syntec Conseil’s Responsible Recruitment Charter.
To involve our external stakeholders, suppliers and service providers, we have drawn up a Responsible Purchasing Charter, in order to foster a framework of mutual trust that will allow us, collectively, to participate in a process of advancement and continuous improvement.
François Humblot, founder of Grant Alexander, also participated in the working group on relational quality within France Qualité. In 2020, he also contributed to the association’s white paper on ‘onboarding’.
Solidarity
Solidarity sponsorship
Since 2019, we have been supporting the endowment fund “La Maison des Bien Aimés”, which fights against sickle cell disease in Togo, by participating in actions in the field and in the effort to raise awareness in France around this disease.
Each year, our teams are also mobilized around a charitable cause to contribute to the greater good (Petit Cœur de Beurre, Les Petits Princes, ADAPEI 69, etc.).
Environmental Impact & Solidarity
We have implemented an initiative focused on the digital carbon footprint to raise awareness among our teams about eco-friendly practices and involve them in data cleanup activities. This initiative takes the form of a three-session challenge, culminating in a targeted donation to Care France.
ENVIRONMENT
Grant Alexander has adapted its practices and processes to contribute, at its level, to the environmental dimension in support of sustainable development.
Since 2020, we have implemented recycling and waste recovery initiatives (such as Elise in Lyon).
In 2023, the group organized its first Climate Fresk workshop to raise awareness among its teams about climate challenges.
