Apside has been developing its Quality of Life and Working Conditions policy over the past three years. The refurbishment of its premises and the installation of reconditioned seats are part of this approach. The ErgoSanté group, through Manufacture des Cévennes, is delighted to support the ESN in this adventure.
Eco-responsible reconditioned seats for a committed company
In its quest for ergonomic, environmentally-friendly furniture, Apside has chosen Manufacture des Cévennes upcycled seating. ErgoSanté's brand of new seating and circular products shares many common features with this nugget of France's digital industry.
Manufacture des Cévennes is currently France's only Adapted Enterprise in the second-hand professional furniture sector. For its part, Apside owns the Apsid'EA brand. This is the first Adapted Enterprise in the digital services sector to be 100% owned by an ESN group. Apsid'EA employs more than 10 disabled people.
In a spirit of sharing and respect for common values, Manufacture des Cévennes delivered 20 reconditioned seats to Apside's head office in Boulogne-Billancourt.
A win-win partnership between two Adapted Enterprises
Buying upcycled furniture is a meaningful choice and a bet on the future. By doing so, Apside reduces the overall environmental impact of its furniture. In fact, Manufacture des Cévennes chairs consume no raw materials from the extractive sector. Our partner also benefits from other positive spin-offs:
- The cost of these reconditioned seats is deductible from Agefiph contributions.
- Less expensive, reconditioned seats reduce fitting costs and allow investment in other QVCT aspects.
Finally, Manufacture des Cévennes' CSR approach is in line with the values defended by Apside. Like us, the company respects the 10 fundamental principles of the United Nations Global Compact. It is committed to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals as defined by the UN.
Apside's CSR performance has been recognized in France. In 2020 and 2021, it was awarded the EcoVadis silver medal, a platform for assessing the CSR commitments of SMEs, SMIs and large French companies. As a result, Apside is among the top 25% of companies in terms of social and environmental responsibility. We are delighted to contribute to their success.
