Following the intervention of the company TH Conseil, a firm specializing in the employment of people with disabilities, for the performance an audit of our company’s practices (in France – all subsidiaries) at the end of 2019, EPSA established its first Disability Agreement. This is followed by the implementation of various action plans to raise awareness and train all employees, and then recruit and maintain people with disabilities in our workforce.

For EPSA, this is also the challenge of going further and directly integrating social impact into our business, via BuyzeWay.
All the jobs of the Outsourcing (purchasing outsourcing) and Consulting (operational purchasing consulting) can be filled by people with disabilities. The creation of BuyzeWay, is above all for EPSA, a way of committing to the development of the employment of people with disabilities.

Today, there are more than twenty employees with disabilities, who are employed and have this particularity, making us the first company to do so in our sector.

The activity of the EPSA group is by nature less polluting than other sectors
Nonetheless, we are initiating an approach to measure and reduce our environmental footprint through a first evaluation of our carbon footprint (3 scopes, within France – all subsidiaries) by Ekodev, a sustainable development consulting and service company.

Today, EPSA is implementing its environmental actions through its “EPSA4Green” policy, articulated around 3 axes: Reduce – Reuse – Recycle and with a priority project for the group: digital sobriety.

Renewed in 2018, EPSA MarketPlace bears the Diversity Label – assessed by AFNOR. In fact, the Group’s directors consider Diversity as a cornerstone of the management of the company, essential to its development and sustainability.
