LOV Group recycles hotel soaps with Unisoap
Soap goes through centuries, millennia even, without ever going out of fashion. It is one of the essential components of human life, used universally but unique in function.
Hygiene is life, health, self-esteem and social inclusion. And in these troubled, virus-ridden times, the use of soap in its simplest form is on the rise.
It is for all these important reasons, and as part of its CSR policy, that the group has formed a partnership with Unisoap , the first French company to recycle hotel soaps and distribute them to people in need.
This winter, the Unisoap teams has collected used soaps from Mademoiselle in Val d'Isère and Pan Dei Palais in Saint Tropez. From now, the partnership is extending to Le Grand Contrôle in Versailles, La Bastide in Gordes, Le Château de la Messardière and next winter season to Les Airelles and Aman le Mélézin in Courchevel. These soaps will be treated in a recycling centre at a French ‘Etablissement et Service d’Aide par le Travail’ in Lyon – where people with disabilities are given the opportunity to work.
The recycled soaps will be then donated to local and national partner associations with knowledge of the field and an understanding of the hygiene needs of underprivileged people.
LOV Group is proud to participate in this environmental, humanitarian and social drive.

Banijay goes green!
There are certain industries that act as mirrors for our society – the film and television industry is one of them, holding an important responsibility to both document the era we live in and pick up on signals that change needs to happen. This sector is unfortunately also responsible for the release of millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year.
But at Banijay there is a growing awareness about the urgency of the situation and the need to reduce the carbon footprint of filming, and to make the audiovisual sector greener. Always front-runners in this area, various Nordic countries with growing responsible initiatives have provided inspiration to the group.
A green ambassador now ensures that responsible content is created and that the group moves towards a zero-plastic future while focusing on healthier practices inside the company. At Banijay, eco-friendly actions have been extensively deployed since the acquisition of the Endemol Shine Group, and a new initiative, entitled “ We are Green”, is underway to ensure the company as a whole strives for eco-friendly productions wherever filming is taking place globally.

Betclic, a commited company
Deeply committed to ensuring their clients are never encouraged to engage in unhealthy practices, Betclic has developed a sustainable approach to play that encourages compliance and protects customers with a passion for sport. In a safe and responsible gaming environment, Betclic encourages its players to practice moderate gaming while carefully monitoring the occasional problematic behaviour pattern. For more than 15 years, Betclic's philosophy has been about focusing on the pleasure derived from the game. This is why the company is committed to ensuring its customers are safe from any of the adverse effects of gambling by using an artificial intelligence-based algorithm that detects the first signs of potential addiction very early on. By doing this, Betclic provides its players with the best protection possible.
Betclic chose to move the company headquarters to Bordeaux in 2018 for a variety of reasons, one of which was environmental, as the new ergonomic premises offered a very high standard of energy consumption. As a result, the company limits its production of waste as much as possible (including paper and plastic thanks to selective sorting in offices).
Thanks to new initiatives regarding remote working, Betclic has been able to reduce the amount of travel done by its employees – and in future, the Group will promote a green commute by setting up a bicycle bonus from 2021 .
Societal aid is also important to the group, and in the Betclic Malta office, teams regularly participate in mass cleaning initiatives to protect the local environment, and also work with various associations that help people in precarious situations.
Finally, with employees from more than 35 different nationalities making up the team, Betclic has proven its skill in managing diversity and inclusion, and in listening to its employees. All positions are open to people with disabilities. And concerned about the well-being of its employees, the company has set up monthly and annual satisfaction barometers with the objective of continuously improving the quality of life at work.
