Transparency: A Driver

of Engagement

According to a PwC study, the volume of extra-f inancial repor-

ting in Europe increased by 35% between 2018 and 2022*. This

ref lects a collective awareness of the importance of these re-

ports.

At Petzl, our CSR report has become a catalyst for engage-

ment. Magali underlines the report’s mobilising role within the

company: “It creates a strong sense of belonging. Our staf f see

that their ef forts are part of an overall vision, in which everyone is

making their contribution.”

Externally, the report meets a need for transparency on the part

of stakeholders and serves as a tool for both dialogue and our

employer brand: “We are aware that there is a lot of expectation,

especially among the younger generation, who look at a com-

panys commitments before they join

In 20

23 the development of an online version that is easier to

engage with than a classic document marked a turning point in

the distribution of the report making it easier to read and more

easily accessible This tool is testament to the hard work were

doing around CSR communication and has increased interest

in the report with signif icant growth in the number of views

For future editions Magali wants to continue improving the

format so that it is as enjoyable as possible to read by increa

sing interactivity as well as including testimonials and tools that

make the data easy to understand The idea is that everyone

should be able to see the part they have to play in our Corporate

Social Responsibility project

Alignment and

a crosscutting approach

Each edition involves a rigorous collaborative process Col

lecting data requires coordination and organised exchanges

because we need to ensure that every piece of information is

accurate and relevant A crosscutting approach between the

dif ferent departments is essential explains Magali

We wanted to create a single report for the company and the

Foundation in order to ref lect our overall united and aligned vi

sion It provides an overview of all the actions undertaken within

the P

etzl ecosystem and of the progress we still need to make

A compass

“ For me, the CSR Impact Report is a rich project that highlights

the company’s social transition by promoting its employees and

the amazing work they do. It’s also a compass that helps us stay

true to our values while paving the way for a more sustainable

future,” sums up Magali Sanchez, who has been behind the pro-

ject since its inception.

When it w

as created in 2022, “the report had a very educational

approach, because we had to set out the basis for our CSR ap-

proach and explain the technical concepts,” she recalls. “Since

then, w

e’ve done a lot of work on structuring the data and ma-

king it more reliable, which has helped us make the content in-

creasingly comprehensive. ”

Our Corporate Social Responsibility Impact Re-

port was created in 2022 at the request of Paul

Petzl, as a joint document between the company

and the Petzl Foundation that outlines all the ini-

tiatives undertaken each year to support the en-

vironment and society. It has helped us meet the

desire of all our stakeholders for transparency

and openness, whether they are customers, sup-

pliers or users. Over the years, it has also become

a tool for encouraging engagement internally, and

a powerful feature of our employer brand.

We talked to Magali Sanchez, CSR Communica-

tions Manager, about the origins of this project.
