#01 A COLLABORATIVE CSR APPROACH, PART OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN

Means of Action Central

to Company Strategy

We established what we call the “CSR

1%”, which means allocating 1% of

our revenue to f inancing CSR-centric

projects.

With a well-def ined budget, we revised

our plans to include: updated stakeholder

interests, regulatory constraints, and the

knowledge we’ve acquired over the last f ive

years as CSR has become a central topic.

Our CSR plan is fully integrated into our

business strategy. It’s managed at the

highest level and deployed across the

company via three different channels:

CSR Management, represented on the

Executive Committee and supported by the

CSR Strategy Committee; the CSR Team,

currently 4 full-time employees who roll-out

projects and support industry experts; and

the Ecological Transition Commission, which

Rooted in cross-departmental

collaboration, our approach is built

around two foundational elements.

First, in 2020, we surveyed 2,000

people representative of all the

stakeholders at Petzl and used the

results to create our f irst Materiality

Assessment. This helped us better

understand and organize our

priorities as a company. We then

launched our f irst CSR project

strategy, where we distributed

responsibilities across dif ferent

departments, involved our teams,

and began acting on our priorities.

While we still rely on these foundational

elements, our approach to CSR continues

to evolve and grow.
