Aware of their environmental responsibility, FORVIA has opted for EcoSiège products, a solution for reconditioned seats in France developed by our Adapted Company. This decision reduces the company's carbon footprint while offering an ethical alternative to new seats.
The transition to reconditioned products: an act of sustainable mobility
Today, 30 employees at FORVIA in Nogent-sur-Vernisson benefit from EcoSiège seats, creating a more comfortable and environmentally-friendly working environment. Meanwhile, the old seats are carefully restored in our workshops in the Cévennes region of France, before being reintroduced to the market as new.

Today, more than ever, preserving our environment is at the heart of the world's concerns. The carbon footprint we leave behind by using fossil fuels, driving motor vehicles, heating our homes and consuming various products is a reality we have to face up to. Yet there are practical and effective ways of reducing our impact on the planet. One of these is reforestation. In this article, we explore how you can offset your carbon footprint by taking part in reforestation campaigns.
The power of trees: 2.17 tonnes of CO2 absorbed per year
Did you know that planting 100 trees is equivalent to absorbing around 2.17 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year? Trees absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and release oxygen. This makes them powerful allies in the fight against climate change... Trees' natural ability to purify the air makes them key players in our quest to reduce our carbon footprint.
A concrete action: 2,335 trees planted in Madagascar
This year, an inspiring initiative was launched in the Antsirabe region of Madagascar. A total of 2,335 trees were planted. These trees play a crucial role in offsetting CO2 emissions. As they grow, they will absorb almost 507 tonnes of CO2 over the next 10 years. This action is part of the fight against the deforestation that has affected Madagascar, nicknamed the Red Island. Nearly 45% of its natural forests have been lost in 60 years. By planting these trees, the initiative contributes to the reconstitution of these precious ecosystems and to raising awareness among local populations of the importance of preserving nature.
Join the reforestation initiative to offset your carbon footprint
If you're looking for a concrete, effective way to offset your greenhouse gas emissions. If you want to enhance your corporate environmental strategy or your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), join this inspiring initiative. You have the opportunity to finance a reforestation campaign in the Malagasy highlands, in collaboration with local partners dedicated to this cause. You'll benefit from careful monitoring of the plantations, and we guarantee full transparency regarding the use of the funds invested.
Would you like to take part in this important environmental initiative? Contact a.bel@ergosante.fr for more information. Every little bit helps to preserve our planet. And together, we can make a significant difference in the fight against climate change. Join the reforestation initiative and become an agent of change!

Do you have a worn-out office chair you don't know what to do with? Don't throw it away. You can give your furniture a second life with the EcoSiège collection service. EcoSiège offers free collections of your office chairs and trays for recycling. This simple, eco-responsible and free solution enables you to reduce your waste volume as well as your carbon footprint. So, how does it work?
What materials does EcoSiège collect?
Our team travels free of charge throughout France to collect all office chairs with armrests and castors, from 15 seats upwards. We also collect office trays and even offer to buy back your old brand-name seat with armrests.
Please note that we do not collect first-price Asian office chairs, which are not of sufficient quality for total renovation. Meeting and reception chairs with 4 legs, as well as sofas and stools, are also not part of our collection.
How does our upgrading process work?
Once you've made your collection request on our website, our local teams come and collect your damaged furniture. By collecting your used seats on our return deliveries, we optimize our routes to improve efficiency. By making full use of our loading capacity, we reduce our carbon footprint.
Would you like to do something eco-responsible?
Would you like to find out more about how our collections work? Please visit our dedicated page on our website.
And if you're ready to take the plunge and refurbish your office furniture, don't hesitate to apply online now. We organize the collection of your used chairs by making an appointment by phone or online. We'll provide you with a time slot to prepare it, and our local teams will collect it directly from your workplace. Once the collection is complete, you'll receive a CERFA donation certificate proving that the reusable materials have been recycled.
Internal recycling for reduced environmental impact
At EcoSiège, we're proud of our recycling process, which gives office furniture a second life and helps protect the environment. By opting for our collection service, you can make a small contribution to preserving the environment.
In our upcycling approach, we leave no part unused. The most worn parts of your seat will be recycled in-house. This enables us to reuse them in other projects or pass them on to specialized waste management channels. Nothing is lost, everything is transformed! This approach enables us to minimize our environmental footprint while restoring unused furniture to its original condition.
Promoting zero waste
By choosing to donate your seat to ÉCOSIÈGE, you are actively helping to limit waste. Rather than throwing your product away, we take care to reintroduce it into the circuit by giving it a new life. This avoids up to 40 kg of unnecessary waste per seat collected, making a significant contribution to preserving our environment.
Once recycled at our Manufacture des Cévennes, they are once again available for sale on our website. We offer you a selection of reconditioned seats that have been cleaned, and castors, jacks, bases, foams and fabrics replaced. We can also replace or add lumbar supports, headrests or armrests as required.

In a recent appearance on CNEWS, our Sales Director, Arnaud Declomesnil, highlighted the current and growing challenges of health and well-being in the workplace. While musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) now account for 88% of occupational illnesses, this figure has been rising steadily for the past decade. ErgoSanté, an inclusive and innovative SME, took this opportunity to present its ergonomic solutions and highlight its social and environmental commitments.

Care professions expose the body to many physically demanding constraints that can damage it. Due to repetitive movements and uncomfortable positions, these professionals often face intense pain on a daily basis. Fortunately, there are solutions to relieve caregivers, such as the exoskeletons offered on our ErgoSanté website!
Exoskeletons for optimized working conditions
Still largely unknown in this sector, we offer concrete solutions to relieve the daily burden on nursing staff. An exoskeleton is a medical device that enables its user to work more easily and comfortably. In particular, it helps reduce the pressure applied to the areas most affected by RSI. It is designed to correct posture, protect the back and prevent physical pain by reducing muscular strain.
The use of such equipment will not only make tasks easier, but also help prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). In this case, these passive physical assistance devices provide numerous benefits for a wide range of healthcare professions, from laboratory staff to care assistants.
A successful operation
Hopital Foch in Suresnes andHôpital du Pays Salonais recently had the opportunity to test our HAPO and HAPO MS exoskeletons. These experiments appear to have been successful, as the Hôpital Foch recently placed an order for exoskeletons with our Ile-de-France agency, while the Hôpital du Pays Salonais relayed the success of its QCVT week and the HAPO presentation by the PACA agency to the " La Provence " newspaper.
We would like to warmly thank the staff of the clinical biology laboratory at Hôpital Foch, as well as the teams at Hôpital du Pays Salonais, for their confidence. Together, we are putting innovation at the service of the health of these essential personnel.

Many stories of perseverance and courage are told in the field of sport and adventure, but some are so impressive that they leave a lasting impression. Such is the case of Sabrina Daulaus, secretary in the sports office of the 503rd Train Regiment, a woman with an extraordinary destiny.
Sabrina's determination, a source of inspiration
Victim of a service accident that left her hemiplegic in her left arm in 2012, she decided not to let her handicap get her down and to take part in international competitions with the French team of military wounded. Her incredible journey led her to take on a major challenge: climbing Mont-Blanc, Europe's highest mountain. ErgoSanté, a committed company, was on hand to support her on this ascent, leading to a real human adventure marked by solidarity and determination.
The Mont Blanc challenge: "With our wounded!"
Driven by her passion and desire to keep moving forward, she dreamed of a challenge that would symbolize her conquest of life after the accident. Thus was born the project: " Avec nos blessés!", an innovative initiative to climb Mont Blanc. Accompanied by four military personnel and mountain guides, she embarked on this epic adventure.
A collective challenge and a chain of solidarity
This challenge was much more than a simple climb. It was a profound human experience, highlighting the power of teamwork and solidarity. Throughout the 4-day ascent, the team had to contend with difficult weather conditions that made the adventure even more arduous. Unfortunately, the elements decided otherwise, and the summit at an altitude of 3,900 meters remained inaccessible to them.
Inspiring determination
Despite the ordeal of not reaching the coveted summit, the determination of Sabrina and her team remains an inspiration to all. This journey was much more than just a sporting adventure, it was an undeniable test that life goes on beyond injury. The team transcended disability thanks to their strong will to overcome obstacles.
This story reminds us that nothing is impossible when you have the will and determination. This unforgettable experience was undertaken to support wounded servicemen and women, and to push back the limits of mountaineering despite disability.
We've got good news to share with you! L'Ameublement français, which represents and supports French furniture manufacturers, has fallen in love with ErgoSanté. And guess what? We were rewarded for our ability to respond to the societal and environmental concerns of the profession - in other words, our CSR approach.
At ErgoSanté, a sustainable approach has been an integral part of our DNA since the beginning of our adventure. We create inclusive work environments where everyone is valued and supported. Here's an overview of our production chain and our CSR approach.
A company committed to its employees
As an Entreprise Adaptée, we place great emphasis on the well-being of our employees. Our investment is crucial, since 80% of employees at our Anduze factory are disabled.
On the other hand, we reuse and recondition our end-of-life products to minimize waste. We develop innovative recycling projects, transforming waste into beautiful furniture.
The environment at the heart of our CSR approach
All our production is located in France, and we are committed to responsible sourcing. We produce most of our seats and exoskeletons in our Anduze factory. Our company mainly uses raw materials of French origin, or from recycled sources. To reduce our carbon footprint, we use our own renewable energy.
To preserve ecosystems, we create carbon sinks around the world. We regularly run reforestation campaigns in Madagascar, in conjunction with local sustainable development players. We offer our partners transparent and truly effective projects to concretely reduce their carbon footprint.
A big THANK YOU to Ameublement français and to the community of French manufacturers for their recognition. We would also like to thank KATABA for producing the trophy, and yachtsman Roland Jourdain for his inspiring presence at our side.
Ergosanté, the leading French company in the design and production of passive exoskeletons, is changing the name of its flagship product "HAPO MS". From now on, the exoskeleton will be known as "HAPO FRONT". The name change is accompanied by a new logo and visual identity. In addition, the exoskeleton will be interchangeable with its new product, the "HAPO UP", sold as the "HAPO UP-FRONT" kit.
A strategic, future-oriented change
The new name was chosen to emphasize the exoskeleton's core functionality. The exoskeleton relieves the load on the upper part of the body when working at mid-height. This is made possible by the exoskeleton's lightweight, flexible design. Thanks to these qualities, workers can move around easily while wearing the device.
The name change is also part of a more general trend towards thegrowing use of exoskeletons in the workplace. Indeed, employers increasingly see these devices as a solution for improving workers' health, safety and well-being. They also increase efficiency and productivity.
The new "HAPO Front" exoskeleton helps workers perform repetitive or physically demanding tasks. It provides postural support and helps reduce work-related muscle and joint pain. Thanks to its design, it reduces the load on upper limbs, shoulders and elbows when working with arms out in front. Its permanent support enables workers to accomplish their tasks more easily and efficiently.
Better present and promote HAPO's work
Changing the name of the "HAPO MS" exoskeleton to "HAPO FRONT" is a strategic decision for Ergosanté. The company wishes to strengthen its position in the passive exoskeleton market. The new name emphasizes the exoskeleton's core functionality. With a more evocative name, customers better understand the purpose of this physical assistance device (PAD).
With this new visual identity, Ergosanté hopes to continue offering a range of innovative solutions to improve the health and well-being of workers, while increasing their efficiency and productivity.
Customer satisfaction is a key factor for any company wishing to grow and make a name for itself. At ErgoSanté, our priority is to offer efficient, high-quality ergonomic solutions to our customers. In this way, we contribute to improving the health and well-being of their employees. That's why we're proud of our successful collaboration with the GIMS ( Service de Santé au Travail, de l'Emploi, de la Formation Professionnelle et du Dialogue Social).
GIMS approves our ergonomic solutions
We worked closely with GIMS to fit out 220 ergonomic "Aigoual" seats. Our adapted company manufactures these seats in France. This leasing solution has two objectives. The first is to provide optimum comfort for GIMS employees. These ergonomic solutions also improve their well-being at work. We're delighted to see that this collaboration has been a success. GIMS employees have really felt the benefits of installing these ergonomic chairs.
We also had the opportunity to speak directly with GIMS' Managing Director, Mr. Humberto MIRANDA. We asked him how our leasing solution has impacted on his employees and their work. In the video available on our website, you can hear Mr. MIRANDA share his experience and explain how this collaboration has helped improve the well-being of his employees.
Ergonomic solutions for health... and performance
At ErgoSanté, we are convinced that the health and well-being of employees are essential to a successful and sustainable company. We are proud to contribute to this mission by offering innovative and effective ergonomic solutions.

That's why we offer your company a practical, concrete solution. This mechanism helps you reduce your company's greenhouse gas emissions. How can we help? Take part in our reforestation campaigns in Madagascar. By reforesting barren, dried-out areas, you are helping to protect biodiversity. At the same time, you support the local economy.

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.
ErgoSanté, Adapted Company and Progress Activator
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.
