A company that respects the environment, in other words?
How can a company make a commitment to the planet? By acting on the very governance of its establishment to reduce its CO2 emissions, but also by engaging its stakeholders. Chances are, you're already part of the movement, but you can do even more. Here's how.
The environmental dimension of CSR
There are plenty of examples of corporate commitment to the environment: sorting and reducing waste, adopting clean transport and technologies, innovating to extend product life, working with responsible suppliers and so on.
These are all good things you can do for the planet. To take your approach even further, you can also opt for solidarity actions via the many associations or on the occasion of an event, such as Sustainable Development Week for example.
What is the link between the SDGs and the environment?
The environment is one of the major themes of the Sustainable Development Goals. For the company, five of the 17 objectives to be achieved are essentially linked to the environment:
- SDG n°6: on sustainable management of water resources.
- SDG n°9: on sustainable infrastructure and innovation.
- MDG 12: on responsible consumption and production.

Get out your gloves and spades: withnonprofit Environnement Fausses-Reposes, the Caucasian laurels will have nothing to fear! Your mission? Remove these invasive species that threaten our ecosystem and allow the original species to reclaim their place.
2. Counting birds: ten minutes to save species
What do you do? Count the birds. Use the LPO (Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux) and Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle participatory observatory to learn how to recognize different species. Then sit in your garden, balcony or city park for ten minutes and take action. That's the first step.
3. Biowaste and harvest!
At the Achères urban market garden farm, the vegetables are getting impatient! Shape your calves as you tour the town's restaurants on a bike trailer, and collect bio-waste to feed the compost. All the vegetables have to do is grow.
