Circular economy on the agenda for our stakeholder panel

Dialogue with the stakeholder panel has been useful for the Lagardère group’s review of CSR issues since it was set up in 2015 and this was particularly true during the unprecedented situation of 2020.
After the first lockdown, the Group’s LL Network launched a consultation of its members on the post-pandemic world. This survey gave rise to a number of points that were shared during the meeting with the panel in September 2020.
First of all, growing awareness of climate and environmental concerns, as well as the desire to pursue responsible consumer practices (short circuits, new means of transportation, etc.) trialled during the period. And also the desire for information and greater commitment from their company as regards all the CSR issues relating to it.
The topic on the agenda for this meeting with the panel of the circular economy also allowed for discussion about the expectations expressed by employees. After the presentation by Anne de Béthencourt (member of the panel and expert in this area) of the various aspects of this subject – particularly regulatory issues with the French law against waste and for a circular economy – the panel was able to discuss with Lagardère Travel Retail’s CSR Director the circular economy projects launched within the framework of the division’s PEPS (Planet, Ethics, People, Social) strategy.
The cross-expertise of the members of the panel was once again extremely valuable in helping the Group to advance in its environmental considerations, which have become an essential component of its CSR strategy.
