At Groupe RG, our mission goes beyond protecting workers. We are committed to acting responsibly and sustainably, placing ethics, respect for the environment and the wellbeing of our employees at the heart of our priorities. Discover our 14 commitments for a safer, greener future.
Our Economic Responsibility
"Responsible purchasing, committed suppliers"
1
A Purchasing Policy that Makes a Difference
We take pride in selecting suppliers who share our values and our vision of a more sustainable world. Our responsible purchasing policy favours partners committed to CSR practices, helping to ensure environmentally friendly products and ethical working conditions.
2
Carefully Selected Partners
We work closely with our suppliers to continually assess and improve their CSR practices. Regular audits and open dialogue allow us to ensure that our partners meet the highest standards of sustainable development and social responsibility.
We are a signatory of the "Responsible Supplier Relations and Purchasing" Charter (Charte "Relations fournisseurs et achat responsables").

Responsible Products, from Design to Use
Through our RGreen™ rating concept, we help our customers make informed, responsible choices. Every product is assessed against strict environmental and social criteria, helping our customers move towards more sustainable, environmentally friendly solutions. Our own-brand (private label) products are designed with eco-responsibility in mind. We prioritise recycled, recyclable and bio-based materials, while optimising manufacturing processes to reduce carbon footprint and waste.
Our Social Responsibility
"Quality of working life matters for our employees too."
4
Health, Safety and Quality of Working Life
The health and safety of our employees is our top priority. We implement risk prevention measures, regular training and appropriate personal protective equipment. We are also committed to providing a fulfilling working environment that supports wellbeing and work-life balance.
5
Diversity, Inclusion and Equal Opportunities
We believe in the value of diversity and actively oppose all forms of discrimination. We promote equal opportunities and diversity within our teams, recognising the skills and talents of each individual, regardless of gender, age, background or career path.
6
Investing in People
We support our employees' professional development by offering training tailored to their needs and aspirations. We encourage knowledge-sharing and skills development, to safeguard the expertise and service quality that our reputation is built on.
7
Constructive Social Dialogue
We maintain quality social dialogue with employee representatives, based on listening, respect and transparency. This relationship of trust allows us to work together on innovative solutions and address business challenges, while safeguarding the interests of our employees.
Gender Equality: a Concrete Commitment
For us, equality between women and men isn't just a principle — it's a daily commitment.
We believe that diversity of backgrounds and career paths strengthens our teams, drives innovation and contributes to our collective performance. Every employee, regardless of gender, should be able to grow, develop their skills and access the same opportunities, in an environment built on respect and fairness.
Because commitments must be backed by measurable action, we publish our Gender Equality Index (Index de l'égalité professionnelle femmes-hommes) and the detail of its underlying indicators every year.
| Points obtained | Maximum points for calculable indicators | |
|---|---|---|
| 1- Pay gap (%) | 36 | 40 |
| 2- Gap in individual pay rise rates (%) | 20 | 20 |
| 3- Gap in promotion rates (%) | 10 | 15 |
| 4- Percentage of employees who received a pay rise in the year following their return from maternity leave | 15 | 15 |
| 5- Number of employees of the under-represented sex among the 10 highest earners | 5 | 10 |
| Total calculable indicators | 86 | 100 |
Our Environmental Responsibility
"Because acting for the environment and the climate is no longer optional."
8
Working Towards Carbon Neutrality
We are committed to drastically reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, by optimising our logistics processes, promoting renewable energy, and raising employee awareness of eco-friendly practices. Our goal: to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
9
Eco-Responsible Sites
A group-wide energy efficiency plan has been rolled out across all sites, supported by audits and certifications to strengthen our environmental commitments. Concrete steps have been taken to modernise facilities, particularly lighting and waste management. The aim is to significantly reduce energy consumption and roll out waste sorting and recovery across all sites.
10
Circular Economy and PPE Recycling: Closing the Loop
We work closely with our partners to develop and structure recycling channels for personal protective equipment (PPE). By giving these products a second life, we reduce our impact on natural resources and contribute to a sound circular economy.
Our Societal Responsibility
"Because dialogue is the key to a society that understands itself and stands together."
11
Co-building with Our Stakeholders
We believe in the power of dialogue and co-creation with all our stakeholders: customers, suppliers, employees, public authorities and civil society. This collaborative approach allows us to identify priority issues, share good practice, and develop innovative solutions for the common good.
12
Zero Tolerance for Corruption
We apply a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption in all its forms. We raise employee awareness of the risks and put in place strict control procedures to prevent any breach of ethics. Our commitment to transparency and integrity is unwavering.
13
Supporting Professional Inclusion
We are committed to helping people who are distanced from the job market access employment, offering tailored inclusion programmes and working with specialist organisations. We believe that diversity of talent is an asset, both for our company and for society as a whole.
14
Supporting the Causes We Care About
We support associations and projects working for the environment, solidarity and education. Through our financial and human commitment, we help create a positive impact on society and raise our employees' awareness of sustainable development issues.
At Groupe RG, we are proud of our commitments and of our contribution to a safer, fairer and more sustainable world. Together — employees, customers and partners — we have the power to make a difference and build a better future for everyone. Join us on this engaging journey.
