CSR organization

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the vehicle used to implement sustainable development strategy within the company.  The three fundamental principles of sustainable development, namely the economic, social and environmental aspects of doing business, are integrated into Nexans’ strategy and its operations and relationships with its stakeholders. These principles are supplemented by corporate governance which encompasses the principles of ethics and business conduct.

As CSR is transversal in nature, it is necessary to ensure top-level coordination amongst all departments within Nexans. This is the aim of the CSR* Committee which is presided over by the Group’s CEO, Frédéric Vincent. The committee is made up of members from the Human Resources, Legal, Communication, Industrial Management, Technical/Research and Development, Environment, Purchasing, Marketing and Risk Management departments.

Two specialized Committees, made up of various working groups, have the task of steering and coordinating themes and projects in the following fields:

• Governance and Social
  • Ethics and Business Conduct
  • Crisis management
  • Responsible purchasing
  • Workplace safety
  • Skills development and training
  • Social dialogue
  • Community relations
