- The development of a complete career and training path for each SE- SAMm employee
- The publication of several governance documents, including an anti-cor- ruption charter and a supplier commitment charter
- The implementation of a compensation & benefits committee
- Joining Bpifrance’s Coq Vert initiative, which unites eco-conscious French companies dedicated to ecological and energy transition.
- Alongside an internal CSR working group, SESAMm has also defined a network of HR policies that cover compliance, internal procedures, ethics and working conditions & supplier sustainability. These policies have been devised to en- sure SESAMm’s values resonate across all levels of the company.
