Sébastien Petzl Director of R&D and CSR

In addition to our climate commitments, we re continuing to drive cultural change within our organization. We re allowing social and environmental considerations to impact every decision we make, and relaying what we learn to our stakeholders.

Our second commitment is a transition to a more responsible economic model of re-growth, serving our employees, our customers, and the planet through all our operations. We will work to innovate, compromise, and think differently. To evolve to a more conservative economic model, and do so while continuing to create value. We look forward to those solutions that remain unexplored: designing more versatile tools, low-impact materials in manufacturing, and improving product repairability and lifespan.

The challenge before us is tremendous. The changes we re implementing wouldn t be possible without our collective intelligence. Human capital is our most valuable resource. And it s our duty to provide the conditions necessary for it to thrive. That s why we re working to improve collaboration, satisfaction, and support for our employees in their professional lives.

TAKING ACTION FOR A BETTER TOMORROW

How do we respond to growing product demand while reducing the resource consumption and impact caused by manufacturing and commercial activity? Petzl is committed to answering this question and implementing key solutions by 2030.

In our business strategy, we ve identified two areas where we can take action.

First, to achieve this transformation, we ll allocate 1% of sales to projects that help limit the impacts of our value chain.

Because of its importance to the measurement of climate-related issues, reducing our carbon footprint remains a priority. We recognize that fulfilling this commitment requires additional action and participation from our suppliers, who are already involved in this effort.
