Starting in early 2018, the company has implemented a mobility charter allowing every employee to work from home regardless of position and function. This has required Limonetik to update its complete IT system. The entire staff, whether permanent, on contract or in internship, have been provided with mobile equipment. Old hardware has been resold or donated to specialised businesses or associations. Before the covid-19 lockdown in France last March, 79% of employees had already opted for teleworking. Today 99% have chosen a balanced schedule of in-person and home-based work. Set-up allowances and monthly stipends are offered.
The company has established a sorting and recycling programme with France’s Les Joyeux Recycleurs, a waste management company, and Aceccit, a cleaning business. Targeting 99% waste recovery, Limonetik moved its headquarters in September 2020 with beneficial results: some 22 cubic metres of furniture were recycled; disposable cardboard trash was removed with full traceability. Especial attention was paid to planning and setting up the new working environment and bringing subcontractors on board according to CSR rules.
While 72% of staff take public transport to work, 25% prefer walking or cycling (having dedicated bike storage space). Showers have been provided.
These are just some examples of Limonetik’s commitment to sustainable development.
Limonetik is among the top 5 companies worldwide in its sector committed to CSR.
