Our CSR Policy
❝At Advanced Track & Trace, our foremost mission is to combat the black market. Through our work, we develop innovative solutions that protect citizens from illicit trafficking and identity theft. While the financial health of our company is essential to sustaining this mission, we are equally committed to conducting our activities in a manner that respects our clients, partners, suppliers, and the environment.
For this reason, we have established a comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility policy, through which we commit to our clients, employees, and society at large. This policy reflects our ambition to set meaningful objectives and continuously enhance our impact on all stakeholders.❞
Jérôme Pichot, CEO
Protecting consumers and citizens with innovative security solutions
We ensure that our authentication and traceability solutions provide effective protection against counterfeiting through structured R&D, including technological monitoring, continuous development, and over 150 patents filed. Our roadmap includes a new generation of SEALVector and GhostSEAL. We also address our clients’ cybersecurity requirements by adapting our processes to meet the standards of businesses and governments, supported by staff awareness, training programs, and maintenance of ISO 27001 certification.
For greater clarity, our offerings are simplified and centralized, with standardized pricing. Finally, we guarantee service availability through optimized time management and harmonized tools for team organization.
Cultivating employee well-being and engagement
We support our employees throughout their careers by offering a wide range of training programs, including cybersecurity, first aid, foreign languages, and Power BI, while continuously adapting training plans to their evolving needs. We pursue comprehensive career management through regular performance reviews, updated training plans, and a clear compensation policy.
Ongoing social dialogue is fostered through regular meetings and seminars, ensuring transparency and giving everyone a voice. Equity and the fight against discrimination are central to our commitments. Finally, we promote the well-being of our teams by providing social benefits and a flexible teleworking policy that supports a healthy work-life balance.
Positioning the company within the ecological transition trajectory of the economy
We have conducted our carbon footprint assessment for scopes 1, 2, and 3 and identified several actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in IT, procurement, and business travel. Our goal is to reduce CO₂ emissions by 10% annually, in line with the Paris Agreement (+2°C).
In parallel, we promote a circular economy by minimizing waste, reusing equipment, and recycling materials. We maximize the reuse of equipment installed at client sites and recycle PCs and servers. Our objective is to prioritize the purchase of only necessary equipment—preferably refurbished—and to systematically reuse or recycle all materials.
Promoting fairness and safeguarding credibility
We adopt ethical business and procurement practices in accordance with our Code of Conduct. We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to corruption and act with professionalism and integrity in all commercial relationships. Employees receive regular training, and detection systems are in place to ensure compliance.
Regarding fraud, money laundering, corruption, and information security, we have established clear rules, transparent expense reporting tools, and accounting controls with cross-checks. Finally, we ensure fair human resource management, maintaining vigilance against harassment and discrimination, and regularly evaluate management to guarantee ethical conduct.
Ensuring CSR compliance across our suppliers
We integrate environmental protection into our supplier selection by prioritizing those with a CSR approach. We encourage long-standing suppliers to adopt CSR practices in the design and production of the products we purchase. Our goal is to promote the use of recyclable or environmentally certified materials and to set targets for reducing material and energy consumption.
We regularly evaluate the environmental impact of our suppliers by monitoring their product evolution. We aim to measure waste (the quantity of products delivered relative to our data) and optimize procurement to reduce transportation impact. Finally, we prioritize local suppliers who comply with European law, favoring short supply chains.
