Who they are

Chaussea is a leading French footwear retail brand, offering a wide range of affordable and trendy shoes for women, men, children, and babies. With over 25 years of experience in the industry, the company combines fashion and accessibility, bringing the latest styles to life through more than 240 stores across France and neighboring countries.

How we structured their ESG approach

Since November 2024, the group has embarked on a structured ESG journey, starting with its preparation for CSRD compliance. The process began with a comprehensive double materiality assessment, involving strategic workshops with the executive board to identify the most material ESG topics and assess the related risks and opportunities. In parallel, a complete carbon footprint assessment was conducted to establish a baseline. While the regulatory landscape evolved (notably with the Omnibus directive), the project was temporarily put on hold. Chaussea has decided to maintain momentum by engaging in a VSME-based sustainability approach.
