ecosystem, a mission-led company
We officially became a “mission-led” company on 24 June 2021, a public and sustainable commitment supporting our purpose.
Our mission-led company status
The “mission-led company” status was created by the French PACTE Act, passed in May 2019. This gives companies wishing to do so, the possibility of defining its purpose, i.e. its reason for being, expressing the role that is intends to fulfil in the world of tomorrow. It is rolled out by defining objectives pursued by its business activities.
The mission-led company status does not replace a company’s legal form.
Specific governance is required for companies having more than 50 employees: a Mission Committee comprised of at least one employee and persons from outside the company who are responsible for monitoring the mission. It checks that the decisions made by the company are in keeping with the objectives pursued. It issues an annual report focusing on this which is included in the management report.
The performance of the objectives is also audited by an independent third-party (Mazars for ecosystem) and gives rise to proposals that mission-led companies must publish on their websites.
Our purpose and our objectives
