Group life

At the end of 2014, at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris, the GSF Group marked its companies’ commitment to cultural, ethnic and social diversity. By signing the diversity charter, GSF is pursuing its voluntary commitment to an economy that celebrates pluralism and diversity. This is a continuation of GSF’s membership of the Global Compact in 2005.

For two years, the Group has been sponsoring this tennis player who has set his sights on his dream: the Paralympic Games in Rio 2016. A partnership to help him achieve a world ranking, which will then open the doors to the Olympic Games. Yohann Quilliou also helps the Group by talking about the challenges of disability in the workplace. On the back of his professional experience at Areva and his great sporting achievements, he recently came to GSF head office to meet all the managers.

GSF's COP (Communication on Progress), ranked “Advanced” for the fourth consecutive year by the UN Global Compact and made public on their website, was presented in the France Global Compact newsletter in October 2015 for its quality with the objective of encouraging an exchange of best practices.
