Sustainable Development Goals

Taking action for sustainable development is a matter of course for Groupe SOS. It resonates with the very DNA of our raison d’être.

Helping to build a more viable, liveable and equitable world. Sustainable Development is therefore a common thread running through all our actions, at every level of the organisation.

Impact at every level of the organisation

By the very nature of our work for the benefit of all, our teams work towards many of the goals of sustainable development. But we also take action at all levels, and with all our stakeholders. As an organisation, we are pursuing an ambitious strategy to develop practices that are more respectful of people and nature, and to make as many people as possible aware of the objectives of sustainable development.

For 10 years now, Groupe SOS’ purchasing policy has been led by the teams in charge of Sustainable Development. This choice, which makes a great deal of sense and is atypical in the world of purchasing, is reflected in the implementation of ambitious programmes, such as the “Mieux Manger Pour Tous” (Better Food for All) operation (achieving 40% of products from sustainable food sources in the catering offered in Groupe SOS facilities, and 100% in our Youth facilities), or “Bâtiment Vert” (all Groupe SOS facilities are supplied with 100% green electricity).

Since 2022, Groupe SOS has been running an ambitious new programme: “SOS Climate and Action”. Its aim is to radically transform the role of each stakeholder to make them a player in sustainable development, in particular by raising awareness and training all employees and managers, investing in carbon sequestration projects, implementing environmental strategies with suppliers, etc.
