Acting locally for our ecosystem

At our printing facility in Templemars, near Lille, Societal Responsibility is essential. It reflects our commitment to our Region. We actively invest in the economic and social development of our local community.

Territorial responsibility at the heart of Hauts-de-France

We strive to contribute to the economic, social, and environmental development of local communities. We are proud regional actors committed to our Territory.

Choosing partners based on transparent criteria.
Ensuring 100% French production.
Collaborating with local suppliers and partners to stimulate the local economy.
Favoring short supply chains to reduce our carbon footprint and promote responsible consumption.

Creating beneficial synergies for all stakeholders

Local development is a fundamental pillar of our CSR. We proudly support local initiatives, such as the Templemars Polar Book Fair, which stimulates community engagement, supports sustainable regional development, enhances collective well-being, and strengthens social ties.

Welcoming the public and raising youth awareness

We open our doors to young people on dedicated days to showcase our professions, highlight printed products, and promote the transmission of industrial know-how.

Protecting bees and supporting training for young people with disabilities

Concerned with environmental preservation, we support the association Donne-moi des ailes, sponsoring beehives and assisting beekeepers.

Bees, essential for biodiversity and food production, are declining due to pollution and habitat loss. The association supports apiculture vocations, finances hive acquisition, and promotes honey marketing. Our hives are located at Richard Cœur de Miel in Montboillon, Haute-Saône.

Additionally, the association collaborates with Nos Enfants d’Ailleurs, supporting families affected by autism. An inclusive project enabled young people aged 16–20 from DAME Grand Besançon (Fondation Pluriel) to build wooden hive frames over five weeks.

We are proud to contribute to bee preservation and the professional integration of young people with disabilities.

Our CSR commitment to sustainable procurement

Treating our suppliers as we treat our clients

Committed to responsible purchasing, we hold our suppliers to the same standards as our clients. As signatories of ImpriFrance’s Charter of Excellence, we adopt strict criteria when selecting partners, including:

Respecting environmental standards: ensuring suppliers follow eco-friendly practices. This therefore contributes to collectively reducing our environmental footprint.
Fair working conditions: preferring suppliers who uphold human rights and safety standards.
Ethical business practices: selecting partners who act with transparency and integrity.

These choices ensure our partners share our core values, creating a responsible supply chain aligned with social, environmental, and economic commitments.

Favoring short supply chains and local partnerships

To reduce our carbon footprint and support the local economy, we source within 100 km of our site. This approach supports regional employment, French know-how, and reduces transport distances, directly lowering CO₂ emissions.

We also maintain fair commercial relations, respecting contractual commitments and payment terms, and collaborate to improve collective performance. Imprifrance-referenced partners sign a charter ensuring compliance with European and international labor, governance, environmental, and safety standards.
