OUR COMMITMENTS AND ACTIONS IN FAVOUR OF SOCIAL COHESION

The well-being of all and access for all to basic needs (food, housing, health, education, employment, security, equity) must be ensured while reducing inequalities between individuals and respecting their cultures.

1. Fight against exclusion and discrimination

1.1 Implementing a social policy

Eurofins ADME BIOANALYSES pursues a social policy aimed at guaranteeing the same rights for all employees, without distinction, considering diversity as a value to be respected, developed and promoted.

In this sense, the company promotes equal opportunities and respect for others and their differences through its dynamic management of human resources and social affairs in the following areas

• Training

Eurofins ADME BIOANALYSES establishes an annual training plan to ensure the development of skills and the social promotion of its employees. These training programmes ensure that employees are employable in the face of structural changes and technological developments.

They are provided internally or by external service providers.

• Working conditions

Eurofins ADME BIOANALYSES maintains a calm social climate within the company by promoting dialogue and common understanding with the staff representatives or directly with employees.

The company also offers good working conditions in terms of premises and equipment.

Eurofins ADME BIOANALYSES motivates its employees by involving them in its success.

To this end, the company has signed a profit-sharing agreement with the employee representatives, which allows employees to receive a bonus linked to the company's results.

1.2 Promoting professional and/or personal integration

Eurofins ADME BIOANALYSES supports the professional integration of disabled workers within the company. In addition to the disabled workers in its workforce, the company employs the services of dedicated companies.

Eurofins ADME BIOANALYSES participates in the integration of young people into working life through professionalization or apprenticeship contracts, as well as in the reintegration of unemployed seniors into the workplace.

1.3 Limiting disparities and inequalities

Eurofins ADME BIOANALYSES has signed an agreement on gender equality in the workplace with the employee representatives, establishing relevant objectives, measures and indicators on the topics of access to employment, effective remuneration and training.
