At EPSA, commitment to sustainable development is a deeply held belief that has been embedded in our strategy since 2019. We have chosen to fully integrate social, environmental and governance issues at all levels of our business.
Our 2024 Sustainability Report is a concrete illustration of this: a rigorous document, deliberately aligned with the requirements of the CSRD directive, which demonstrates our commitment to transparency and continuous transformation.
What you will discover in this white paper
The report provides a comprehensive overview of our CSR strategy and its implementation across all our activities. It is structured around three key areas:
- Responsible governance, structured around committees dedicated to ESG issues
- Concrete environmental commitments: validated carbon trajectory, annual review, decarbonised energy
- Measurable social actions: diversity, inclusion, working conditions, training
All this is accompanied by risk analyses, double materiality and our contribution to sustainability objectives shared with our customers, suppliers and employees.
Why is this report important?
This report comes at a key moment for EPSA: a new cycle of growth, a stronger structure and increased expectations from our stakeholders. It enables us to:
- Measure our progress on ESG issues, with clear indicators
- Steer our non-financial strategy as a lever for overall performance
- Demonstrate the consistency between our commitments and our certifications: EcoVadis Platinum (80/100), CDP (B), ISO 14001, Great Place to Work, Diversity Label
It reflects our ability to anticipate, structure our commitments and transform them into tangible results for our entire ecosystem.

A message from the president
Matthieu GUFFLET, President – Founder EPSA
“EPSA has consistently demonstrated its ability to generate sustainable and profitable growth over many years.
The 2024 financial year saw the implementation of our EPSA Next plan, which led to the consolidation of corporate functions (Finance, IT and Marketing), while confirming our progress in terms of commitment. At the same time, EPSA has achieved its financial targets for 2024, enabling us to confirm our growth outlook for 2025.
Our commitments to sustainable development have been further strengthened. They are an essential part of our strategy and a key asset for our customers and employees. Our 2030 climate strategy, our social footprint, which has led us to achieve perfect gender parity, and our Endowment Fund, which will complete its second three-year cycle at the end of 2025, are tangible expressions of these strong convictions, which are combined with robust financial results. EPSA thus illustrates the reality of sustainable development in its broadest sense.
It is in a volatile global environment that EPSA, with its resilience and diversity, intends to continue its remarkable growth story while respecting its values and its social and environmental responsibilities.
I would like to thank all the teams for their commitment and contribution to these results”.
Expert opinions:
Cédric Laroyenne, Director of Engagement and General Delegate, EPSA Foundation
“With part of the EPSA model focused on external growth, the challenge has always been to unite entrepreneurs, companies and employees around a set of values and a common vision. This is what gives us the strength to be a multicultural group with high human added value. To ensure our long-term future, we must maintain this promise of quasi-“civic” responsibility towards our employees.‘
Sirine Aouri, CSR Manager, EPSA Group
’Thanks to the development of our climate strategy, we understand where a group like ours can position itself, exert influence and take action in the face of climate change. EPSA has more than 5,000 employees, and therefore 5,000 citizens, 150,000 suppliers and several financial funds and partners. It is by working with these internal and external stakeholders that we can have a real impact, by raising awareness and helping them to transform.”
