On December 27, 2023, an important decision was handed down by the Gard Prefecture: SARL ErgoSanté Production, located at 28 ZA de Labahou - 30140 Anduze, obtained approval as an "Entreprise Solidaire d'Utilité Sociale" (ESUS). This decision, governed by the French Labor Code and the Law on the Social and Solidarity Economy, opens up new prospects for this committed company.
The legal framework for ESUS accreditation
The decision, bearing the number 30-2023-12-27-00006, is based on several legal texts, including the Labor Code (articles L.3332-17-1 and R.3332-21-1 to 5), Law no. 2014-856 of July 31, 2014 on the Social and Solidarity Economy, and Law no. 2019-486 of May 22, 2019 on business growth and transformation.
The order of August 5, 2015, defining the composition of the application file for "social utility solidarity enterprise" approval, as well as other texts, help to frame this approach.
A rigorous process: from the prefect's appointment to the sub-delegation of signature
Obtaining this approval followed a rigorous process. The appointment of Mr. Jérôme Bonet as Prefect of the Gard by presidential decree on July 13, 2023 marked the beginning of this stage.
SARL ErgoSanté Production submitted its application for approval on November 23, 2023, demonstrating its compliance with the requirements of article L.3332-17-1-1 of the French Labor Code.
The decision: solid recognition
The approval decision, published in the Recueil des actes administratifs of the Gard prefecture, emphasizes that SARL ERGOSANTE PRODUCTION meets all the guarantees required by law. This recognition, based on compliance with legal criteria, offers the company significant advantages in terms of solidarity and social utility.
The approval is valid for five years from the date of notification of the decision. This gives ErgoSanté a stable period in which to consolidate and develop its activities.
In the event of dispute, the appointment may be the subject of an administrative appeal to the Prefect of the Gard on the basis of :
- An appeal to the Secretary of State for theSocial Economy,
- A contentious appeal to the Administrative Court of Nîmes.
