The CSR commitment at Synchrone is concrete
Social and environmental responsibility.
Synchrone makes practical and measurable social and environmental responsibility commitments on the ground.
Each year, an action plan lays out the objectives. The cross-functional CSR division ensures its deployment, in conjunction with the departments concerned in the company, and measures the results of past actions. Each employee is invited to participate so they can respond in their own way to various social, ethical, and environmental challenges.
With complete awareness and transparency, we view our commitment as a guarantee of progress and durability, the key to shared growth that benefits the company, its employees and partners, and more widely, civil society and the environment in which we develop and grow.
Driven by an ambition for continuous improvement and performance, Synchrone is formalizing a new CSR governance and strengthening its policy on two priority issues: a low-carbon strategy and a responsible digital approach. The next objective is to validate its commitment with one or more labels, affirming its effectiveness in the sector.

Three examples of concrete actions involving the Synchrone teams’ solidarity efforts and benefits for people with disabilities.
Each year, a unique activity is offered to our teams during the European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities.
It’s a fun and original way for employees to get involved and show concern for disabled people in the workplace who are often not recognized.
In 2023, the serious game “En route vers les Jeux” gave them tue objective of finding 10 essential objects for Mathieu Thomas, French No. 1 in para-badminton, and discover more about invisible disabilities.
In terms of raising awareness of the situation of vulnerable populations, Synchrone carries out various solidarity actions throughout the year.
An emblematic event each year: the “Pink October” movement, for the benefit of the fight against breast cancer.
Synchrone mobilizes the many runners of its running team to participate in the solidarity races organized throughout the month of October, with the Odyssea Race at the forefront.
In April 2023, Synchrone participated in the H-Games, a major inter-company competition in favor of disabled sports, as part of its United Heroes x Synchrone sports & well-being program.
All employees mobilized for 2 weeks to support athletes with disabilities, which generated a Synchrone donation to the FFH.
Synchrone has already signed up for the 2024 operation which will take place in November!
Our Climate Strategy
Always proactive in reducing its carbon footprint, Synchrone formalizes its commitment with a climate strategy aimed at reducing direct and indirect CO2 emissions from its activity. The objective set by its carbon reduction trajectory: -4% of GHG per year.
Concretely, several projects are underway on its 2023-2030 roadmap: raising employee awareness through quizzes and thematic events, assessing suppliers on their climate strategy and carbon footprint, strengthening the company’s sustainable mobility policy, green IT and responsible digital approaches, etc.
With 1.6 t of CO2e emitted per employee in 2023, Synchrone is well below the sector average, which stands at 4.8 t. Its ecological footprint is down 9% between 2023 and 2022: the action plan on the most emissive items in its balance sheet is working!
