How has been created this french CSR label ” RSE Bretagne 26000″?
A french CSR label that goes beyong the ISO 26000 norm
This “RSE Bretagne 26 000” label, which is therefore optional for Produit en Bretagne members, was co-constructed by the Produit en Bretagne CSR Commission and the creator of the CSR Label Lucie, according to the basic principles of the international ISO 26000 standard (governance , environment, business ethics, consumer interest, local development, human rights, relationship and working conditions).
But Produit en Bretagne has chosen to go even “further in terms of governance and local development. “The contribution to the economic development of the territory has been increased around local recruitment, education and professional training for the territory” as explained by Frédéric Lerebour, manager of Lobodis and leader of the CSR commission of Produit en Bretagne. “But also help with integration, local purchasing, local investment or co-investment, the fight against nuisances and pollution”.
The local development from the ISO 26000 standard has also been even more developed by Produit en Bretagne, that has added a part to promote culture in Brittany through the support and safeguarding of Breton intangible and tangible heritage.
The french CSR label, “RSE Bretagne 26000” commits its owner to encourage local recruitment, local sourcing, local investment, climate fight, etc. and to preserve the cultural heritage (material and immaterial).
