Social commitments


Developing human and intellectual capital is a major challenge for the Group. GDF SUEZ needs to be able to rely on its know-how and skills in the service of eco-friendly growth. As a complement to this, the values of sustainable development provide a powerful lever for cohesion and a common culture for the Group's employees, especially in a post-merger context.

 

 

 

 

Building the Group's culture around sustainable development

 

The Group’s Sustainable Development initiative is a point of cultural convergence for its employees. GDF SUEZ hopes to group its employees around common values and a common identity linked to sustainable development.

 

 

Reinforcing the Group’s appeal and developing professionalism

 

Large companies need to face up to major hiring challenges. For the younger generations, “giving meaning” to their professional life is a critical criterion. To belong to a responsible Group that is committed to the planet’s future, with the resources to take action that come from its status as a world leader in energy, is a significant differentiating factor.
The Group’s effectiveness depends on its employees being able to adapt to changes in its environment:

 

  • hiring and retaining talent: policy on high-potential individuals, hiring campaigns, partnerships with schools, etc.,
  • reinforcing internal promotion and training,
  • giving every employee the means to pursue his personal and professional development.

 

 

 

Improving "well-being" at work

 

A world-class industrial company, GDF SUEZ aims to exemplify the highest standards in working conditions.  Its objectives: to enable its employees to support the Group's objectives and to promote their professional development.

 

 

Promoting equal opportunity

 

Employee diversity is essential for an international Group. Diverse working teams allow the Group to better respond to customer expectations. For such diversity to be effective, the Group has reaffirmed the principle of equality of opportunity in terms of access to jobs. It is committed to fighting all forms of discrimination in hiring, access to training and promotion (professional gender equality, integration of persons with disabilities, diversity of origins, etc.). It aims in particular to open the company’s doors to segments of society which lack adequate training.
