Guided by the wish to create a virtuous circle and to advance the principles of sustainable development within our sphere of influence, our actions fall under three priority headings, responsible growth, equity and social welfare, international philanthropy.
The EUROGERM Group places great emphasis on combining growth with sustainable development. It is with this in mind that several projects have been carried out, with our partners as well as with our staff, our subsidiaries and specially dedicated organisations, throughout the whole Group or locally.

People lie at the heart of EUROGERM, that is why the Group is strongly committed to an approach giving priority to gender equality, inclusion, diversity and Quality of Life in the Workplace, by deploying an action plan in three key areas: integration and development, employee safety, optimisation of work life balance.
When recruiting, excluding all forms of discrimination, throughout the whole career we support our staff on a daily basis: induction programme; annual and professional reviews which prioritise integration, promotion and mobility. As a business committed to learning, EUROGERM pays particular attention to its training programme also for interns, apprentices, pro contracts.
Keeping our staff safe is our priority at all times: personal protection policies and collective health expenses, adaptation of workstations, personal protection equipment, prevention and security training sessions, availability of a psychologist.
Because keeping a good work life balance is paramount, EUROGERM has adopted numerous measures for staff well-being: support for parents; flexible working and holiday leave; working from home policy; donating holiday days; sports classes in the workplace; rooms for relaxing.
