Simple and Effective Commitments for a Responsible Agency
Last Updated: May 15, 2026

🌍 OUR APPROACH

As an agency that operates mostly remotely, Bollé Communications implements concrete actions to reduce its environmental, social, and economic impact. Our policy is based on common sense, efficiency, and collective responsibility.

🌿 ENVIRONMENT

Reducing our daily ecological footprint.

💻 Reducing Digital Footprint

• Optimizing Online Tools:

  • Regular cleanup of unnecessary files (emails, obsolete documents) in the cloud.

  • Using Zoom or Teams with the camera disabled when not needed (to reduce energy consumption).

• Eco-Friendly Equipment:

  • Encouraging the use of Energy Star-certified devices (computers, screens, routers).

  • Enabling dark mode and energy-saving settings on all devices.

• Zero Paper Policy:

  • No printing unless justified by exceptional circumstances (e.g., legal contracts).

  • Systematic use of electronic signatures (DocuSign, Adobe Sign).

♻️ Waste Management and Responsible Purchasing

• Eco-Friendly Office Supplies:

  • Sending eco-responsible kits to employees (pens made from recycled materials, notebooks made from recycled paper, etc.).

• Electronic Equipment Recycling:

  • Partnering with certified recycling organizations for old devices (computers, phones, etc.).

• Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products:

  • Using ecological soaps and cleaning products (EcoCert certified or equivalent) for employees working remotely.

🌱 Awareness and Best Practices

• Eco-Responsible Workshops:

  • Training employees on eco-friendly practices (energy savings, waste sorting, etc.).

• Sharing Best Practices:

  • Regularly sending simple tips to reduce environmental impact at home (e.g., turning off devices at night, using power strips with switches).

👥 SOCIAL

Creating a healthy, fair, and inclusive work environment.

🏡 Remote Work and Well-Being

• Full Flexibility:

  • Employees can work mostly remotely, with flexible hours to promote a healthy work-life balance.

🤝 Equity and Inclusion

• Fair Hiring:

  • A non-discriminatory recruitment process (gender, origin, age, etc.).

  • Fair salaries for all positions, based on experience and skills.

• Continuous Training:

  • Access to online training to develop employee skills.

💰 ECONOMIC

Making responsible choices for a sustainable economy.

🛒 Local and Sustainable Purchasing

• Supporting Local Suppliers:

  • Purchasing goods and services from local and eco-responsible businesses whenever possible.

• Renting Instead of Buying:

  • Using rented equipment (e.g., filming equipment, software) instead of purchasing when feasible.

💡 Resource Optimization

• Reducing Unnecessary Costs:

  • Avoiding redundant subscriptions (e.g., software, online tools).

  • Sharing resources among employees (e.g., shared software licenses).

📌 CONCRETE COMMITMENTS

• Transparency: Regular communication about our progress in sustainable development.

• Continuous Improvement: Annual review of this policy to adjust our actions.

• Employee Involvement: Every employee is encouraged to suggest ideas to improve our impact.
