Being a partner of excellence
Developing sustainable solutions
Via its international network of skilled professionals, Altran has developed sustainable solutions in a variety of fields: technology, mobility and the sustainable city, energy efficiency and renewable energy, as well as the corporate management of environment and health. Thus, Altran’s subsidiary Cambridge Consultants has created Aveillant, whose 3D radar has removed a key obstacle to wind-farm expansion. Altran has also launched an excellence centre for new automotive technologies, assessed the acoustic impact of off-shore wind-farms, created an environmental quality label and developed a social tool designed to combat malnutrition.
Ethical policies
80 % of Altran UK managers have already been trained in the requirements of the 2010 Bribery Act.
Altran is committed to ethical policies and standards at the Group and regional levels and complies with legislation with respect to the fight against corruption. Thus, in 2011, Altran UK implemented an ethical strategy defining its commitments in terms of human rights, labour standards, the environment, conflicts of interest, confidentiality of information and corruption. This involved the adoption of a "hospitality and gifts" policy compliant with the 2010 Bribery Act and a whistle-blowing policy.
Working to serve our clients
To better serve our clients’ needs, Altran carries out an annual international survey to assess the level of client satisfaction, and ensures the protection of client, employee and third-party data.
Altran’s Information security approach underpins Group strategy in that it protects the core of the Group’s activity. Its purpose is to ensure the confidentiality, availability and integrity of the material elements of Altran’s IT systems, applications and data. Altran is committed to ensuring that its information security approach is compliant with legal and regulatory specifications in the countries where it operates, and meets all client expectations in terms of data security.
Responsible purchasing
In 2012, Altran France purchases in the sheltered and adapted employment sector totaled €260k.
Aware that a socially responsible approach requires establishing relationships with like-minded suppliers, Altran has developed responsible purchasing strategies and initiatives.
Thus, Altran’s supplier-selection process integrates a set of environmental impact assessment (EIA) criteria for certain purchases. Depending on the country, these criteria may include the suppliers’ choice of paper, electronic equipment, company car fleet, office supplies, gifts and treats. In France, Spain and the US, Altran promotes the employment of people with a recognised disability by out-sourcing to companies in the sheltered-employment sector.These companies enable people with a disability to carry out a professional activity in a specially-adapted working environment.
