Petzl - Impact report 2024

Creating new habits

The massages were such a success that they will continue

at the Crolles site throughout the year, once a month. Other

initiatives have been continued at this site, such as the twice-

monthly delivery of home-made bakery products, following

the introduction of small local markets organised by Christelle

Torelli, Production Controller, during the EWSSD.

These are all examples of the committee’s goal of responding

to concrete needs while anchoring its actions in the day-to-day

lives of employees over the long term.

Personal Commitment

for the Collective Good

One of the strengths of the EWSSD at Petzl is the direct

involvement of employees. “Some employees lead workshops

or of fer talks, which showcases their talents and increases time

for sharing between employees,» explains Aurélie.

This was the case for the DIY workshop on weaving rugs

from rope of fcuts, organised and run by Kaf ia Bendib, Trade

Marketing Manager, and Laurent de la Fouchardière, Action

Photo Production Manager, which was a great success. “These

moments create connections, showcase in-house talent and

raise awareness of reuse,” adds Aurélie.

This collaborative approach makes the event a space for

discussion and passing on knowledge, where everyone can

express themselves and contribute.

Aurélie Gascon is a graphic designer and member of the

Ecological Transition committee of the company’s works

council, which has been open to all employees since 2022. She

has been co-organising the event with a group of volunteers

for the last two years, as well as with the support of the

Foundation and the CSR team. The success of the sustainable

development week “depends on the direct involvement of

employees, whether they are leading a workshop or sharing

an idea. We wanted everyone to feel part of this project,” she

explains. Employees are encouraged to contribute their ideas

and get involved in projects outside their core business.

Reaching out to employees

The EWSSD is based on simple but meaningful initiatives

designed to appeal to as many people as possible. “Invitations

are sent to people’s calendars. Events are publicised via our

internal network, Workplace, passed on directly by managers,

and via information screens in production zones in order to get

employees as involved as possible,” explains Aurélie.

To ensure that these moments of togetherness and sharing are

as inclusive as possible some workshops and presentations are

held within plants This year chair massages were of fered at the

Crolles and Eybens sites These 20minute sessions charged

at 5 gave employees the opportunity to relax and release

physical tension We designed this activity to reach out to those

who dont have much time to take part These massages of fer

them a benef icial break without disrupting their work rhythm

says Aurélie

In France, around 44% of employees say that

their quality of life at work has a direct impact on

their productivity and loyalty to the company*.

At Petzl, the European Week for Sustainable

Development (EWSSD), which takes place

every year, has become a key event for raising

awareness, taking action and improving quality

of life at work.
