Social responsibility

Serving the public interest

In partnership with the organization “LA BOUSSOLE”, which takes in homeless people on Caen’s peninsula, Ets Thierry-Fonlupt developed and created a “sleeping bag-coat” for the homeless to help protect them from the cold and rain, especially in winter when they have to sleep outside.
These coats were donated to La Boussole, which distributed them to the people concerned.

Examples of CRS commitments

Solar panel installation

In 2023, 300m2 of solar panels were installed on the extension to Building A. This surface area enables self-consumption of 30 to 40% of the workshop's daily electricity consumption.

Carbon audit

The carbon audit is a real opportunity to maintain a virtuous circle, strengthening employee motivation and support for the company's project, and increasing the effectiveness of actions to reduce emissions. Following this audit, actions are implemented at both sites and in each department. E.g.: - Develop car-sharing - Develop recycling of household and production waste - Support our customers in the use of recycled wool...

Electric Bike Rental

Employees of Ets THIERRY-FONLUPT can rent an electrically-assisted bicycle for a period of 3 years. The major part of the rental is paid for by the company, and employees can use the bike for their work commute as well as for weekends and vacations. After 3 years, the employee can purchase the bike personally.
