As mind RH revealed in January, EDF has a new global agreement on CSR. It was signed unanimously by 18 local trade union organisations and two global federations, industriAll Global Union and the International Federation of Public Services. It includes the commitments of the previous 2018 agreement on freedom of association, health and safety, and equal opportunities. However, the text has gained additional chapters, particularly on the group’s environmental commitments and guarantees regarding the impact of the digital transition. “The content is more extensive with new topics arising from the feedback from the review of the previous agreement, while retaining the architecture of the agreement,” Marc Giffon, negotiator for the CFE-CGC union explained to mind RH. “The negotiations converged on the inclusion of new topics, particularly the environment,” adds Nadège Ghizoli, director of social dialogue at EDF.
A strategic agreement for EDF
“The company can only be sustainable by combining economic performance with social and environmental responsibility,” states the agreement.
