ErgoSanté, manufacturer of ergonomic seating, has ratified the charter of values of the Activateur de Progrès movement, an Agefiph initiative. This membership underlines our sincere commitment to the inclusion of people with disabilities. It also demonstrates our determination to improve the quality of life of these people, through innovative ergonomic solutions.
We have always shared the fundamental values of the #activateurdeprogrès community. The companies, associations and individuals who take part in this movement defend values and a vision of an inclusive and egalitarian future for all.
As anAdapted Enterprise, we firmly believe that disability is not a barrier. On the contrary, it is a permanent factor of employment and a lever for improving society as a whole.
By ratifying the Activateur de Progrès values charter, ErgoSanté promotes the social and professional inclusion of people with disabilities. We are already doing this in our own workshop in the Cévennes region, where 80% of our employees are disabled.
As part of the Activateur de Progrès movement, our actions are focused on four priority areas:
The development of inclusive products
We will be investing more in the research and development of advanced ergonomic solutions. As a preventive measure, our teams are focusing on devices to prevent RSI and potentially disabling occupational illnesses. Our ergonomic seats and passive exoskeletons help maintain good posture at work. In this way, they reduce the risk of disability or incapacity associated with a strenuous job.
We also offer curative solutions aimed primarily at the disabled. Through our agencies, we offer customized workstation design and ergonomic seating. In so doing, we make a direct contribution to the integration of disabled people into the world of work.
Our model combining inclusion, altruism and technology is working very well. Indeed, ErgoSanté will achieve sales of 14.5 million euros by 2021, with annual growth of 67%.
Awareness-raising and training
Disability and the issues surrounding it still suffer from a lack of visibility in France, particularly in the workplace. By becoming an Activateur de Progrès, we are committed to organizing awareness-raising events for our employees, business partners and the general public.
These programs will focus on the challenges faced by people with disabilities. The campaigns have a single objective: to help the public better understand the skills and needs of people with disabilities.
The search for strategic partnerships
ErgoSanté is the first and only recognized Adapted company in the professional furnishings sector. Our participation in Activateur de Progrès enables us to extend our networks and support our actions, with the help of organizations, experts and associations. Our priority is to target organizations that champion the cause of people with disabilities. Indeed, we'll be collaborating with these entities in a spirit of exchange and sharing of ideas and initiatives.
The evolution of our Corporate Social Responsibility policy
Our production process and supply chain already incorporate sustainable practices that minimize our environmental footprint. By becoming a Progress Activator, we are strengthening our CSR approach. We are redoubling our efforts to create a fair and inclusive environment for our employees and partners.
Activateur de Progrès's value charter is perfectly in line with our vision. At ErgoSanté, we strive to create a world where every person can reach their full potential, and where all differences are valued.
As Activateur de Progrès, we invite individuals, institutions and companies to join the movement. This community to "protect the fragile", as our founder Samuel Corgne so aptly put it in this Tribune published on Engagés.media.
