At ETF, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is now a strong commitment. It involves integrating social, environmental and economic issues into our actions in order to build a sustainable future for all. For us, CSR is A VALUE-CREATING APPROACH FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW.
ALIGNING OUR CSR APPROACH WITH THE VINCI GROUP’S AMBITIONS WHILE AFFIRMING OUR UNIQUE BUSINESS SKILLS
Our approach is fully in line with the fundamental values of the VINCI Group, as defined in the Manifesto, particularly in terms of ethics, prevention, employment and training, and the environment. Together, we share the ambition to build a sustainable and inclusive future, placing people at the heart of our concerns.
As a major player in railway construction, we contribute to this by promoting sustainable mobility solutions, facilitating access for all to the entire country and to health, education and commercial services, and by promoting a more inclusive society.
Our business and our very raison d’être are inherently linked to key CSR issues.
OUR CSR COMMITMENT: A STRONG CONVICTION AND A DESIRE TO SET AN EXAMPLE AS A RESPONSIBLE COMPANY
Our CSR approach responds to a dual need. On the one hand, it reflects the growing expectations of our customers, with whom we have co-developed it, and who want to partner with companies that are committed to sustainable development.
On the other hand, it is a major challenge in terms of connecting with the community and our employees, who are also citizens.
That is why, two years ago, we chose to adopt a strong CSR policy at the heart of our corporate vision. By integrating social and environmental criteria into our daily decisions, we are creating a system that fosters innovation and growth, while contributing to a more sustainable future.
A MULTI-VOICED CSR: CO-CONSTRUCTION AT THE HEART OF OUR APPROACH
ETF’s CSR approach is the result of an ambitious co-construction process. By involving our customers, suppliers, partners and employees in a ‘stakeholder committee’ from the outset, we have collectively built a tailor-made policy to meet the challenges of the sector. At the same time, to structure our approach and create synergy, we have established a solid governance structure with a CSR management committee and a steering committee, responsible for defining strategic directions and monitoring actions, respectively.
To ensure that our CSR approach remains dynamic and involves all stakeholders, we have set up a dedicated steering mechanism.
Training, integration, and youth employability, gender diversity within teams, and inclusivity are key topics for ETF to improve working conditions for all our employees. 
Guided by business ethics, we are committed to always acting with integrity and transparency in all our activities, respecting competition rules to contribute together to a healthy economic environment.
Training, awareness, risk prevention, communication, and listening are at the heart of each of our actions in occupational health and safety, with the primary goal of protecting all our employees.
Our environmental commitment is reflected in a collaborative approach of continuous improvement in our practices, awareness-raising, and the development of innovative solutions, in order to reduce our carbon footprint and preserve biodiversity.
To accelerate the transition toward greener mobility, we engage our teams to make them true ambassadors and carry out lobbying actions at different levels to create an environment conducive to the development of rail mobility.
