Being a committed player
Supporting initiatives for the common good
Through the Altran Foundation for Innovation and several forms of competence sponsorship, Altran wishes to further its civil commitment by mobilising and federating the strengths of the Group with a focus on creative and innovative projects.
Solidarity initiatives are regularly developed in the countries in which the Group is active:
Belgium
Altran Belgium helped organise a series of solidarity events in Brussels in support of the Diwali association which promotes the autonomy of villages in India, notably by providing micro-credit facilities.
France
In 2011, Altran France renewed its support for the Enfants du Mékong association by providing skill-based sponsorship. In addition, proceeds raised by the company and employee volunteers from the sale of silk products and the 20km Paris Marathon were donated to the association.
Germany
Altran Germany supports the German Aviation without Borders association, Luftfahrt ohne Grenzen, which offers the aeronautic expertise of its members to serve humanitarian causes, and makes financial donations to Unicef.
Italy
Altran Italy organised a toy collection and donated the budget reserved for client and employee end-of-year gifts to the Help-the-Children Foundation, Aiutare i bambini, for the construction of solar-powered wells for schools in Uganda.
Spain
Created in 2008, Somos MASS is a voluntary team of 70 Altran Spain employees who give their free time to social, health and environment related projects. Once a month, Somos MASS offers fruit to Altran Spain’s Madrid based employees. Once a year, a concert is organized on behalf of the association Action contre la faim (Action against Hunger) and the Casal dels Infants del Raval. Every year, a collection of toys is held at Christmas, and an environmental trip is organised for Altran Spain volunteers and their families.
United Kingdom
At Altran UK, the London Bridge team’s Christmas Community project has, for several years now, been organising an annual collection of toys which are donated to several local charities for distribution to local children.
Innovating for the environment
Altran calls on the competences of its employees to propose innovative and more environmentally-friendly solutions and to contribute to the efforts made in taking up major global challenges. The spearhead of this commitment is the Group's involvement in the Solar Impulse adventure, reflecting Altran's desire to contribute to the development of efficient and sustainable energy and mobility solutions through innovation.
Minimising the environmental footprint
The Altran Group has implemented strategies at the national level focused on Health, Security and Environment (SH&E) and Environment Management Systems following ISO 14001 certification or local seals of approval (Ecodynamic Enterprise, Environmental Diploma). These strategies aim, in priority, at a progress approach on measure and reduction of electricity and paper consumption, CO2 emissions and waste management. Altran is currently involved in developing and standardising its environmental management systems in all of its regional markets. Read more
Towards sustainable mobility
The “Smart Move” project offers employees a “three mobility solution” package designed to provide employees with a set of sustainable mobility solutions to progressively replace the company car. This mobility package consists of a public transport pass, the provision of a folding bike with security accessories and access to car pooling. The project was developed by Altran Belgium in 2011 and has been available to all employees in Belgium as of 2012.
