The sustainable development of our society is our priority. It is enriched by the balance between the social, environmental and economic requirements of our activities and is an integral part of the value of the actions implemented every day.
Baumert is committed to a CSR approach based on the Sustainable Development Goals, a new comprehensive and sustainable CSR framework that sets the global framework of priorities for 2030.
Baumert assessed the contribution of its mission and its social and environmental initiatives to these SDGs. Baumert's materiality analysis highlighted 6 priority issues and 2 commitments that we have grouped here into 4 main themes.

In addition, Baumert teams are aware of nuclear safety. This level of requirement has been rewarded with the ISO 19443 certification.
The safety of our employees is our priority. In addition to the mandatory wearing of PPE, training actions to reduce risks related to health at work have been deployed in order to reduce accidents and train our employees in gestures and postures and chemical risks.
Finally, in order to ensure the well-being of its employees and retain them, Baumert has begun work to build a new head office and to renovate the factory.

We require our suppliers to adhere to labor standards and ethical rules of a similar level as stipulated in our responsible purchasing policy. In particular, we expect our suppliers to comply with the fundamental Conventions of the International Labour Organization and local legislation, in particular with regard to minimum wages, working hours, health and safety. Audits can be carried out on sites, thus allowing rigorous monitoring of their commitments. Social and health/safety audits can also be carried out, in order to validate the selection of new entrepreneurs and contribute to the development of good practices among existing suppliers.
In addition, Baumert and a supplier can agree on complementary standards in their contractual relationships.
