Social Responsability

• Support/Encourage customers in the development of responsible products and services : green, compliant and available for all, safe safety personal data, safe and responsible uses
• Develop infrastructures respecting environment : our engineering teams are systematically reinforced with environmental experts.
• Encouraging the circular economy : we advise our clients to set up responsible equipment and telecom fleet management policies (reconditioning policy, use of reconditioned equipment, sorting and recycling of mobiles and PABXs, etc. ).
• Ensure the know-how transfer at the end of our projects.

With our partner Lemon Tri in France, we set up selective sorting solutions: recycling terminals for mobiles and batteries, paper, cups, coffee capsules, . . .

In our local offices, actions in favour of the environment are also carried out with associations or local authorities.
In 2018 we collected 862kg of recyclable flux at Sofrecom France. In 2019, we recycle 902Kg.

We take care to select suppliers and partners who are committed and socially responsible. For the company's needs we use recyclable paper for printing and we are generalizing green supplies.

For example: All of our communication deliverables (pens, notebooks, commercial brochures and white papers, . . . ) are made from recycled materials.

Sensitizing employees to the preservation of the environment is part of Sofrecom’s CSR policy. Throughout the year we organize events and actions for the environment:
- Eco-gesture training
- Beach cleaning in Tunisia
- Animations for the World Day of Sustainable Development...

Our offices in Morocco, France, in the Middle East and Tunisia are equipped with video conference and conference calls.
The purpose of these facilities is to limit travel (air travel) in order to reduce the carbon footprint of Sofrecom while improving the working conditions of our employees.

Sofrecom is a partner of several associations that offer young people guidance and that help people who have greater difficulty accessing employment, such as young people from disadvantaged backgrounds or people with disabilities, to find and settle into work.

Sofrecom is also a partner of several universities and facilitates access to employment for young people through multiple internship offers and work-study roles.

In choosing its partners and suppliers, Sofrecom strives to work with companies that respect the values and principles of equality, inclusion and ethics that our company promotes.

We ensure equal pay for employees for both recruitment and training.

Through our projects, we contribute to the social development of the countries in which we operate by facilitating women’s access to technical jobs. For example, 31% of workers hired to deploy the Backbone project in Sub-Saharan Africa are women, and 47% of our engineers in North Africa are women.

As our profession is demanding, we ensure that we offer a pleasant and friendly working environment to our employees by regularly organising activities designed to strengthen team spirit.

Improving day-to-day quality of life and organisation at work are at the heart of the Sofrecom Group's social policy: provision of comfortable workspaces, simplification of IT tools, work-life balance, etc.

Our recruitment process focuses on skills and guarantees equal opportunities regardless of gender, disability, religion, ethnic origin or age.

Sofrecom is implementing employee awareness initiatives on disability issues and is developing its processes to promote the employment of people with disabilities. Promoting the recruitment of people with disabilities within the Sofrecom group is a real area of progress.
