How we structured their ESG approach

Driven by a holistic and forward-looking vision of sustainability, The Friends partnered with ESGlogic to strengthen its commitment through the internationally recognized frameworks: the B Corp certification. The mission began with the integration of the five B Corp pillars into the company's strategy. Governance was reinforced with ESG embedded at leadership level and team training sessions. Workers benefitted from enhanced wellbeing, health and listening practices. Community engagement was amplified through both local initiatives and sectoral involvement. Customers were guided towards responsible choices thanks to a more sustainable value proposition. Finally, environment was addressed through a systematic reduction of impacts, supported by tools such as a CO₂ calculator. Building on this foundation, The Friends are going further by aligning their climate commitments with the Paris Agreement.
