OUR CSR STRATEGY

Horoquartz is aware of everyone’s role in keeping our planet safe. This is why we integrate the environmental and social impacts of all our decisions into our business strategy.

A REAL CSR COMMITMENT

Since its creation, Horoquartz has been committed to being a responsible company, respectful of people and their environment.

We have obtained a Gold certification from the international organisation ECOVADIS, which specialises in the evaluation of sustainable development and CSR practices. Our overall score increases each year.

Horoquartz is also a MASE certified company (Manual for Health Security Improvement).

Social responsibility at the heart of the strategy

With a profound respect for the environment, Amano is committed to maintaining excellent levels of environmental quality at every step of its commercial and industrial processes (R&D, manufacturing, marketing and services).

By placing social responsibility at the heart of its strategy, Horoquartz strives to build a healthy and sustainable relationship with its employees, customers, suppliers and partners.

We have also adopted the fundamental principles of Amano:

« The right action »

Honesty, intelligence and respect for others are at the heart of this precept.

« Perseverance »

Making efforts to continuously improve is our priority.

« Success »

Success is impossible without passion and commitment.

Horoquartz part of the United Nations Global Compact Program

Because we also want to share our fundamental values, Horoquartz is a member of the United Nations Global Compact, the largest global voluntary commitment initiative in matters of social responsibility (more than 12,000 signatories distributed in 170 countries).

The Global Compact revolves around 10 universally recognised principles, grouped into 4 key themes:

  • Human Rights
  • Labour
  • Environnement
  • Anti-corruption

Horoquartz is also a member of the French SME Orientation Committee within the Global Compact France. Thanks to large-scale projects, the members of the Committee encourage SMEs and mid-caps to integrate social responsibility within their organisation.

The signatory companies and leaders undertake to integrate the 10 Global Compact principles into their organisations and to promote them within their spheres of influence. This is what Horoquartz strives to do.

 

RESPONSIBLE AND SUSTAINABLE EMPLOYMENT

 

Horoquartz has always made job sustainability a priority. We work every day to improve:

  • Employment sustainability: with 98.5% of employees having a permanent employment contract in 2019
  • Diversity and inclusion: we fight against all forms of discrimination at work by treating our employees with respect, fairness and dignity.
  • Continuous improvement and mobility: all our new employees join our HQ Academy. More than 75% of our employees received training last year.

 

The respect for environment

Reducing its ecological footprint, helping to limit global warming, preserving life on Earth are major challenges. Horoquartz is committed to a concrete sustainable development approach. Our employees are fully aware of this: we all have a role to play.

Since 2017, Horoquartz has also signed the French Business Climate Pledge, a joint commitment by 91 French companies in favour of the climate. In total, more than € 320 billion in funding, research and development and innovation will have been invested, between 2016 and 2020, to move to a low-carbon society.
