CEO

At Petzl , safety is our absolute priority . It lies at the heart

of what we do and runs through all our activities . It is

also our strongest CSR argument .

When we look at how to improve our manufacturing

processes and make them more responsible , one thing

remains essential : preserving the absolute trust that

our customers and users place in our products and

solutions . It is both a constant direction and a guiding

principle .

In the same way , when we imagine a more robust and

high - performing business model for the future , we think

about the long - term sustainability of jobs as well as the

safety of our employees .

We feel a responsibility to preserve the family spirit that

lies at the heart of Petzl ’ s identity .

We are human and demanding . These two pillars help

us shape a sincere , embodied CSR policy , shared with

all our communities .

R

educing our carbon intensity is a daily concern

for all of us — employees , suppliers and

partners alike . Every one of our stakeholders

is part of this journey alongside us and

contributes to our shared achievements .

Certif ications , eco - design , the phase - out of single -

use plastic , material recovery from our waste , and

our repairability programme : we have structured our

approach in order to make our efforts more visible and

measurable .

Above all , we continue to dedicate 1 % of our annual

turnover to driving and delivering our CSR actions .

These are monitored and their results are reviewed at

the highest level of the organisation

The Petzl Foundation is a complementary pillar of our

overall approach a steadfast source of support for

numerous projects and a natural extension of our social

and human commitment

Transformation is never easy it requires questioning to

accept and face contradictions And yet it is an inspiring

human adventure one we are proud to be part of

That is why we are driven by a collective determination

to preserve what makes us distinctive and to make Petzl

the benchmark for responsible and sustainable brands

We also continue and

above all to dedicate

1 of our annual turnover

to driving and delivering

our CSR actions

Let ’ s stay

distinctive ,

together
