Petzl - Impact Report 2025

A network and a common

framework to go further

To meet this challenge , Petzl chose to join AMFORI

in 2024 , an international network of companies

committed to a more sustainable value chain .

AMFORI provides its members with a common

framework and shared tools to assess and improve

the social and environmental performance of their

suppliers around the world .

Its framework is based on two complementary

standards :

1 — Social issues ( BSCI , Business Social Com

pliance Initiative ) : covering working conditions ,

human rights , the prevention of forced labour

and ethics .

2 — Environmental performance ( BEPI , Business

Environmental Performance Initiative ) .

AMFORI then refers approved audit bodies to carry

out audits on behalf of its members with suppliers .

These audits are mutualised and the results shared ,

which avoids duplication and strengthens their cre

dibility . For Petzl , it is also a way of prioritising sup -

pliers that had not previously been audited , particu -

larly in countries considered to be at risk .

For Marlène Dechenaud , Responsible Purcha -

sing Coordinator , AMFORI is above all a space

for exchange and collective work : “ It is a valuable

network . We share best practices , country risk

maps and a common rea

ding of the different issues

That helps everyone speak

the same language For us

on site audits are a real tool

for obtaining factual tangible

evidence rather than relying

solely on suppliers self de

clared assessments And

after these audits remedia

tion plans allow us to move

forward in concrete terms

within a genuine logic of

continuous improvement

For us , on - site audits are a valuable tool for ob -

taining factual and concrete evidence , rather than

relying solely on suppliers ’ self - assessments .

Moving forward together

Tools and frameworks are essential . But what truly

makes the approach successful is the commitment

of suppliers alongside us , and the collaboration

that has been built . Our partners are enthusiastic

about receiving support from Petzl

on CSR issues They are seeking to

better understand our expectations

and to structure their own action

plans Dialogue is taking root and

with it a shared dynamic of pro

gress

The objective

of supporting all

our direct strategic

suppliers in their

CSR approach
