Our environmental and social commitments

Au-delà d’être un enjeu mondial, la préservation de l’environnement est pour LOV Group une démarche de responsabilité, vis à vis de ses publics divers comme de ses collaborateurs. Le groupe, leader sur tous ses marchés, a valeur d’exemple. Sa philosophie : FAIRE, et construire une politique environnementale concrète et utile. Chaque idée est valorisée, et c’est la somme des volontés et des actions de chacun qui inscrit le groupe dans une marche en avant écologique et respectueuse de la planète.

Chez LOV Group, la RSE est aussi sociale, fédératrice, synonyme de fierté et de sentiment d’appartenance. Les performances sociales et sociétales sont liées, et tous les sujets sont abordés sans tabou : égalité femmes-hommes, handicap, inclusion, diversité, bien-être au travail et engagement solidaire. L’éthique du groupe passe par le respect de ses collaborateurs, de toutes ses parties prenantes, et par l’attention et le soin accordés à la société au sens large.

Cette philosophie est déclinée dans toutes les structures du groupe et coordonnée par une responsable RSE. Le fonds de dotation LOV Group permet également de financer des actions pérennes, notamment en matière de soutien à la recherche médicale.
