Our E3 model (Economy – Environment – Engagement) has evolved from an operational framework into a culture of excellence that guides every strategic decision. Rooted in our values (Pioneer, Dedicated, United), E3 ensures that engagement drives progress across the business. Every investment, every recruitment, every supplier contract, every product innovation now passes through this triple filter.

And this is the base of our Sustainability strategy. Our aim is to deliver products and services that are good for the environment and for society as a whole, and also to set out a sustainable business model.

Building on our role as major players in the international cable industry, we have made commitments on several levels:

• We joined the UN Global Compact in 2008. Our ESG priorities include several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly: SDG 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure), SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production) and SDG 13 (climate action).
• We are on the CDP A List for Climate Change, recognizing the companies leading the way in climate action.
• We are committed to achieving “Net Zero” emissions by 2050, in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
• In 2023, our Group joined the CAC SBT 1.5° index, a new climate-focused version of the CAC 40, intended for organizations whose emission reduction targets are recognized as being in line with the Paris Agreement.
• Our foundries in Montreal (Canada) and Lens (France) were recently certified by Copper Mark, a global program promoting responsible practices in the copper industry, particularly those aimed at reducing CO2 emissions, limiting energy consumption and using cleaner extraction technologies.
