CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 3.2 Social responsibility

As part of these partnerships, the Group has also implemented actions to promote its business (Corporate talk, career day, etc.) and participate in specialised forums, challenges… and welcoming young people on consulting missions. This year, we participated in about forty school events in France. SoLocal Group has been present on most forums of our partner schools and has participated in several school competitions such as Open Innovation with the EDHEC where our subsidiary ClicRDV placed in the finals. We also participated in the GEM and EDHEC negotiation competitions. Several of our experts have intervened in these schools to demonstrate the Group’s know-how (ClicRDV, Mappy, PagesJaunes, etc.) We in turn welcomed students from several schools such as IESEG and Pôle Léonard de Vinci. Finally, a class of ten work-study students was created at the telesales in Boulogne as “Télévendeur Digital Prospect”. This promotion, which began in September 2017, allows us to introduce this profession to the younger generation still in studies in the commercial sector. Persons with disabilities In its approach to diversity, SoLocal Group in France has initiated an active policy on the disabled since 2005. Since then, the Group affirms its desire along two priority lines: on the one hand, the integration of people with disabilities and secondly, keeping people with disabilities in employment. With a 2nd agreement signed on 4 May 2015, for 3 years, by 4 representative unions within the Group, and approved by the DIRECCTE (Direction régionale des entreprises, de la concurrence, de la consommation, du travail et de l’emploi, French regional directorate for companies, competition, consumption, work and employment), the Group is pursuing the commitments initiated under the first agreement and wants to be more ambitious in favour of integrating people with disabilities into indefinite-term contracts. Thus, the Group is committed to integrating 20 people with disabilities every year: 15 in professionalization contracts and 5 people on indefinite-term contracts. To achieve this objective, the Group relies on its know-how in terms of hiring under professionalization contracts (see paragraph on efforts to employ young people) and ensures the adaptation of workstations.

The Group is committed to taking into account the situations of each employee with a disability, and to meeting the needs for necessary remuneration. This can result in a technical office layout (via the provision of equipment), an organisational layout (adapting working hours, objectives, geographic scope, customer portfolio, etc.), by “human” help (such as the use of sign language interpreters, work-related speech therapy sessions, adapted transportation, etc.) or by training actions and skills development. In 2017, 153 employees received support and/or job retention actions that took different forms: technical adaptation of the workstation, ergonomic studies, specific training actions, financing of technical equipment, financing of adapted transportation, support of approaches or telework solutions, support, information, orientation towards other players, etc. Among these 153 people, 69 employees with disabilities benefited from measures financed from the budget of the disability agreement (technical adaptation of the workstation, ergonomic studies, specific training actions, financing of equipment or adapted sports, etc.). Finally, where employees are found by Occupational Health to be unfit for their job, ad-hoc multidisciplinary groups can be set up to help to keep them in employment. The idea is to provide support paths that go beyond legal requirements. In addition, the Group also supports its employees in their efforts to obtain Recognition of Disabled Worker Status (reconnaissance de la qualité de travailleur handicapé, RQTH). Other actions are also carried out to raise employees’ awareness internally on the subject of disabilities. Every year, an awareness campaign is offered to all employees in a fun event to promote the fundamentals on the subject. These awareness-raising actions are part of the European Disability Employment Week and the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. In 2017, an inclusive quiz game was offered to all Group employees. This solidarity action will make a donation of €1,500, paid in January 2018, to the association Handicap Travail Solidarité. SoLocal Group supported the SoliStages project which aims to research and finance internships of 4 to 6 months for the development of employing people with disabilities in adapted and protected work structures. This initiative was an opportunity to associate the Group’s disability approach with its SoLidaires programme to encourage employee engagement, thus promoting the development of students’ skills and increasing the skills of the protected sector.
