On May 21, 2024, EDF reaffirmed its commitment to the SME Pact Alliance by organizing a new Climate Collage event at the premises of one of its SME suppliers, IME Group.
The EDF group has been a member of the SME Pact Alliance for over 10 years. In 2023, alongside six other major groups, it committed to supporting several hundred SMEs in their CSR and decarbonization efforts.
On May 21, 2024, IME Groupe welcomed facilitators from the CSR team of the Group Procurement Division and the PACTE PME association to better understand the functioning, scope, and complexity of the challenges related to climate change through the organization of a climate fresco.
This company, which specializes in organizing events for professionals, has nearly 50 employees who are all committed to offering more responsible events to their clients, including the EDF group.
Within the Group Procurement Division, around a third of the CSR team is dedicated to the SME Pact Alliance. This commitment takes the form of direct support for SMEs and the provision of specific resources, such as hosting a Climate Fresco at the premises of a partner subcontractor.
