ACTING AS A COMMUNITYMINDED, ECOAWARE CITIZEN
For Amundi, acting as a community-minded citizen means conducting sponsorship programmes over the long-term, adopting responsible
purchasing practices and reducing its environmental impact.
4.1
Sponsorship
In 2016, Amundi maintained its commitments to its historical partners
in culture, education and solidarity, with contributions totalling more
than €1 million.
For over ten years, Amundi has supported the
Académie de France
in three main areas: hosting artists in residence, organising cultural
programmes within the
Académie
, the preservation and improvement
of the site thereby contributing to France’s cultural influence and the
enrichment of the national heritage by supporting aspiring artists.
Amundi also has a two-fold commitment to
Fondation Radio France
.
A long-standing partner of the
Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio
France
, since 2007, Amundi also supports the
Maîtrise de Bondy
,
which provides outstanding educational training to children who have
little exposure to music.
As a principal partner of ACF, Amundi has participated in the inter-
company sporting event, Challenge Hunger race since 2010.
Solidarity-based initiatives are also conducted internationally.
Accordingly, in March 2016, two London teams participated for a
second time in the vertical rush challenge in order to collect funds for
a non-profit working with the homeless. Amundi’s is also committed in
Japan. 11 employees travelled to the region affected by the tsunami
to search for personal effects that would facilitate victim identification.
Amundi Japan also came to the aid of the inhabitants of Kumamoto
following the earthquake last April.

Responsible purchasing
The main guidelines for Amundi’s responsible purchasing policy cover
three areas and are in line with the commitments of the Crédit Agricole
S.A. Group:
p
professional responsibility in our purchasing, in order guarantee
ethical conduct in terms of fair purchasing practices, risk prevention,
and fair business relations with our suppliers;
p
limiting social, environmental and ethical risks in our purchases of
goods and services, while taking into account the CSR work of
our suppliers in their product or service offerings;
p
the use of sheltered sector and disability-friendly companies by
annually increasing the budget for services entrusted to the sector
by the business line departments.
The guidelines of the purchasing policy are based on agreements
such as the United Nations Global Compact, the Diversity Charter and
the Mediation Charter on Responsible Supplier Relations. All of the
commitments set forth in these documents concern the respect for
human rights and labour regulations, anti-discrimination of all types,
the promotion of diversity, environmental protection and business
ethics.
