On 07 March the French carmaker together with the union federations IndustriAll Global and industriAll European Trade Union signed a new global CSR agreement and with it the PSA Group has crossed a new threshold in so far as it includes stronger commitments for value chains and intends for the implementation of a risk prevention due diligence plan.

Since the first agreement back in 2006 (c.f. article No. 220), its renewal in 2010 (c.f. article No. 100406) and now this 2017 renewal the PSA Group agreement has undergone some notable changes. This latest version centers on PSA Group’s willingness to ‘co-construct the future of the Group with the representatives of employees everywhere in the world’. This co-construction is ‘based on a dialogue conducted at all levels: at the Group level and at the level of each country and each work site.’
