CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) infers giving meaning to the company's long-term action, its contribution to society and, ultimately, its raison d'être. It must lie at the heart of the corporate strategy by challenging, enhancing, supporting and safeguarding it in order to sustainably create value. VISEO has initiated a CSR approach within the group, by questioning our contribution to society through each of the three facets of CSR.
VISEO committed with AIRES
Since 2005, AIRES (Association pour une Intégration Réussie dans l'Entreprise et dans la Société - Association for successful integration in businesses and in society) has been working to promote the sustainable integration of people with disabilities into the business world. AIRES allows young people to integrate "normal" companies by facilitating administrative procedures, writing their CVs, and ensuring "communication follow-up" within the company.
To date, the AIRES association has allowed nearly 50 young people with disabilities to find a suitable company and start a professional career. Everyone can help the association at their own level: "As an employee, you are perfectly entitled to contact your HRD and ask to follow the training for welcoming persons in vulnerable situations," explains Jacques De Possesse, Chairman of the association. "This training helps to find the right words and adopt the right forms of behavior when integrating people in this situation. As a private individual, obviously it's good to spread the word about this association, because very often the families of these young people suffer from a certain code of silence and are not always able to find the right information on their own."
This diversity within companies is the best way to definitively change attitudes towards disability, and VISEO is proud to be a part of this effort.

In 2021, VISEO signed a sponsorship agreement with the Imagine Institute and renewed in 2022 its commitment as a friendly contractor of Imagine, on learning disorders in children (Intellectual deficits and MultiDys), with the aim of identifying clinical diagnosis and therapeutic avenues, improving patient care and contributing to their better inclusion in society.

We also act through our purchases by applying our own Responsible Purchasing Charter so that our suppliers adopt better practices by integrating CSR criteria into our purchases (environmental criteria, use of the sheltered employment sector, etc.).
VISEO opens up France's mileage allowance to employees
In order to establish its CSR policy in an increasingly responsible manner, VISEO has decided to apply the optional government measure via the introduction of a bicycle mileage allowance for employees who cycle between their home and their workplace.
VISEO seeks to bring its CSR (Corporate and Social Responsibility) policy to the fore and has chosen to focus on this scheme to promote alternative modes of transport.
"As a mid-sized company, we have a number of environmental and social responsibilities. Accordingly, our head office is NF-HQE certified, which implies an optimization of energy resources and a recycling policy for our waste, especially electronic waste. Paperless meal vouchers and payslips also mean we make significant paper savings," explains Marie-Clotilde Mangé, VISEO's Director of Human Resources and CSR.
The introduction of the mileage compensation scheme is not just another tool intended to reflect the reforms introduced in the wake of the Grenelle de l'Environnement, it also allows employees to take responsibility for themselves and rethink their mobility in line with environmental issues.
Operational employment preparation (OPE - Préparation Opérationnelle à l’Emploi) in Morlaix
For our Morlaix Service Centre in Brittany, we aim to create 50 new permanent contracts to take the total number of employees within our establishment to over 100. For this purpose, we benefit from support for our job creation process from the Brittany region and from the Morlaix Employment Agency ("Pôle Emploi") on two specific programs.
