“Despite a context that remains difficult, the voluntary commitments of our sector in environmental and social matters must be reinforced. Not only are CO2 emissions rising impressively – even if passenger transport is far from being the first cause -, but the demands of our customers are increasing in these areas as well because of the anticipation of more restrictive normative production. For these reasons, since 2008, CDS Groupe promoted diversity and inclusion, wished to testify of its voluntarism by signing the “Supplier Relations and Responsible Purchasing” charter supported by the Business Mediator, and by continuing to obtain the corresponding label. We are convinced that the lever of responsible purchasing is important for mobilizing our employees and involving the entirety of our ecosystem towards more virtuous behaviors. In the same logic, we participate within APECA in the constitution of CAMP (APECA Club for Public Mobility), in order to actively stay in touch with public purchasers, their new expectations and create common reference systems supporting their objectives. Our sector must no longer be considered a problem, but as a bearer of sustainable and united solutions instead. This is the meaning of our action” says Ziad Minkara
