On June 1st and 2nd, 2010, Suez Environnement invited the top executives from around the globe to participate in the first annual Suez Environnement Management Conference. Executives from various Suez Environnement subsidiaries, along with CEO Jean-Louis Chaussade, confirmed their commitment to corporate social responsibility by actively participating in a CSR workshop dedicated to promoting diversity, advancing women’s careers, and confronting ethical issues.
The workshop began with guest speaker Claude Grunitzky, who presented the most relevant benchmarks in the business world for minorities, women’s careers and ethics. Following Mr. Grunitzky’s introduction, the top executives broke off into groups to create a Metaplan, which is a creative technique used to facilitate groups in order to brainstorm ideas, develop opinions and create solutions. During the creation of the Metaplan, participants were asked three key questions in each category, and responded accordingly with their ideas and suggestions for how to make Suez Environnement a more ethical, inclusive and diverse company.
