Our CSR Commitment
At LAB, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is at the heart of our strategy. Operating in international markets, we are committed to acting in an exemplary manner towards the environment, our employees, and our wider ecosystem.
In 2025, our CSR approach was recognized by the independent organization Ecovadis, which awarded us the Bronze Medal for our sustainability performance.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Compliance, transparency, integrity, and sustainability guide every decision we make. These commitments are formalized in our CSR Charter and our Code of Conduct, which serve as the cornerstones of our CSR approach implemented on a daily basis.
Sustainability
At the core of our mission
At LAB, sustainability is a fundamental pillar of our CSR strategy. Our primary mission – reducing industrial emissions – is part of a broader commitment to environmental protection, the energy transition, and responsible innovation.
We create long-term value through our technologies, solid partnerships, and well-managed internal practices, while also striving to minimize our own environmental footprint.
A direct and structural impact on the environment
Our greatest lever for action lies at the very core of our business.
Industrial flue gas treatment, limiting emissions and capturing CO₂
Reducing the energy and reagent consumption of installations equipped with our solutions.
This environmental leadership acts as a catalyst: it encourages our clients and partners to adopt more responsible technologies and contributes to the continuous improvement of industrial practices.
Concrete Commitments in our daily operations
Our commitment to the environment is also reflected in concrete internal measures, actively involving our teams.
Reducing the carbon footprint of business travel
Through greater use of videoconferencing, shared trips, and more sustainable modes of transport when possible
Exclusive use of green electricity
To power 100% of our office space in France
Environmental awareness
Integrity, ethics and compliance: A clear framework
At LAB, we are committed to upholding strict standards in the conduct of our activities in France, Germany, and worldwide. This commitment applies to all our stakeholders: our clients, partners, employees, the environment, and our broader ecosystem.
We give our best and do what is right, placing social and environmental responsibility, as well as integrity, at the heart of every decision we make.
A clear framework for action
To guide these commitments, we defined a Code of Conduct and Ethics, published in 2025.
Our Code of Conduct and Ethics
This reference document covers all aspects of compliance, integrity, and business ethics. It is a key pillar of our CSR program and applies to all LAB employees, regardless of their role or workplace.
Our Whistleblowing Procedure
In parallel, we have established an internal whistleblowing procedure, ensuring a safe and confidential way to report any behavior contrary to LAB’s values or applicable regulations.
Responsible Purchasing
An ethical and sustainable value chain
At LAB, responsible purchasing is a core pillar of our CSR strategy. We firmly believe that our sourcing choices directly influence the quality, durability, and overall impact of our activities. This is why we integrate environmental, social, and ethical criteria into every step of our procurement process.
We maintain strong, transparent, and long-term relationships with our suppliers, based on shared values: integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights and the environment.
Our responsible approach
We prioritize partners who are committed to responsible practices, minimizing their environmental footprint, and, whenever possible, contributing to the development of local economies.
Our Suppliers & Subcontractors Code of Conduct
To ensure these principles are upheld, we rely on clear standards, continuous supplier assessments, and active collaboration with subcontractors. Our entire network is therefore mobilized to meet both our CSR commitments and applicable regulatory requirements.
Diversity, inclusion, and gender equality
Concrete Commitments
At LAB, we believe that the strength of a company lies in the diversity of its people. A variety of backgrounds, experiences, cultures, genders, ages, and abilities is a true collective asset – a source of innovation, creativity, and performance.
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion translates into a workplace where everyone can be themselves, feel respected, and have access to equal opportunities for development and success. We ensure that every voice is heard, every employee is recognized, and every team member is valued.
Recognition and commitment
We ensure that every voice is heard, every employee is recognized, and every team member is valued.
Inclusion is an integral part of our corporate culture
It guides the way we recruit, manage, collaborate, and contribute to society as a whole. Day after day, we strive to foster a fairer, more equitable, and more responsible environment.
Gender Equality: Measured and Monitored
Gender equality is a strong commitment at LAB.
