Our CSR commitments

Our commitments to the environment

We are committed to integrating environmental considerations at all levels and every stage of our processes.

We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and energy consumption, implementing environmentally responsible procurement policies, and developing the circular economy to optimise our resources, reduce our waste and our digital footprint.

Putting the environment at the center of everything we do, at all levels of our company

We are working to become committed players in building a sustainable future

Integrating environmental issues at the core of our business is critical, not only to meet sustainability requirements but also to strengthen our collective culture with regards to current environmental challenges.

At Sixense, our commitment to the environment is not an empty word, and we have made it a reality thanks to:

  • The launch in 2022 of our environmental action plan: the Sixense Green Program
  • The organisation of internal events focused on raising awareness among our employees on environmental and climate issues: “Climate Fresks”, webinars (digital footprint, carpooling, low-consumption equipment)
  • Research and development projects geared towards new technologies that can be used with our expertise to help our customers face their environmental challenges

Reducing our energy consumption

Participating in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by adopting environmentally responsible practices

We have implemented a structured energy saving approach applicable to all our business units, which allows us to simultaneously reduce operating costs and contribute significantly to the reduction of our environmental footprint.

Reducing our energy consumption is achieved through multiple means:

  • Adapting the operation of equipment to field conditions
  • Implementing plans to reduce the use of heating and air conditioning in offices
  • Installing energy saving systems in offices (automatic management of lighting and water distribution)

Implementing environmentally responsible procurement policies for our equipment and services

Monitoring our suppliers ethics & prioritizing partners that enable us to move forward

At Sixense, we pay close attention to the ethical practices of our suppliers. We want them to contribute to a more equitable supply chain. With such an approach, we aim to fulfill our role in reducing our environmental impact, as well as our commitment to build socially responsible partnerships.

We intend to create relationships with partners who enable us to progress, favouring those who provide us with solutions to:

  • Keep your IT equipment as long as possible (more than 4 years)
  • Choose reconditioned rather than new equipment
  • Enable the reuse of equipment

Reducing the carbon footprint of business travel and commute

Contributing to the fight against climate change by rethinking modes of transportation

By implementing a policy to reduce the carbon footprint of our business travel, we contribute actively to the fight against climate change and show a commitment to sustainability.

We are aware that all travel has an impact on the environment, so we are implementing different solutions:

  • Switching to a fleet primarily composed of electric and hybrid vehicles
  • Assessing and tracking the carbon footprint of business travel
  • Measuring the carbon footprint of travel activities
  • Promoting sustainable transportation solutions: public transportation, cycling, carpooling
  • Promoting home office to reduce commuting

Developing the circular economy and ensuring proper waste management

Doing better with less by promoting reduction, sorting and re-use

We rely on the circular economy to optimise the use of natural resources. We also ensure that we manage waste from our activity efficiently and responsibly

We implement an approach based on the following pillars of the circular economy:

  • Reducing the amount of waste generated (e.g. eliminating plastic containers in favour of reusable containers such as cups, water bottles, etc.)
  • Systematic use of selective sorting, collection and recycling through authorised channels
  • Reuse of equipment and worksite material and donating it to universities for a second life.

Reducing our digital footprint

Being digitally responsible through an informed approach

We are working to reduce our digital footprint to minimize the digital impact of our services on our customers, to ensure compliance with privacy regulations, and to contribute to a more responsible use of digital resources while promoting a longer life for our equipment.

We are both users of digital technology and providers of solutions based on data and digitization. As such, we recognize that digital technology has a significant environmental footprint and are committed to :

  • Measure the digital footprint of our activities
  • Take action to reduce it
  • Implement best practices for digital use
  • Limit the carbon footprint of our IT infrastructure
