CSR approach

BOURBON has defined its Corporate Social Responsibility policy by integrating the challenges facing the group, particularly those of its working environment, the seas and oceans. This policy is based on the group's new vision, formalized in 2022, and on a committed governance that respects the rules of ethics and compliance.

"Contributing to the development of offshore renewable energies and improving company practices by questioning the impact of our activities and decisions on society and the marine environment at all levels is central to the CSR approach of the sustainable company we wish to be."

GAËL BODÉNÈS
CEO - BOURBON

As a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, we support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) because we believe they strengthen our business by promoting growth and progress for all. We are convinced that economic growth and sustainable development are not in conflict with each other, but rather complement each other.

The Global Compact was put in place in 2000 by the United Nations following an initiative by its Secretary General urging businesses to act responsibly and take an active part in sustainable development. It invites companies to adopt, support and apply in their sphere of influence 10 fundamental principles in terms of human rights, labor rights, environment and fight against corruption.
