VALUE 6: ETHICAL COMMITMENT

Our sense of responsibility guarantees our success

Our business, serving the construction industry and operators in the natural resource sector, motivates us to respect the earth and its people. Ethical behavior and civic conscience, shared values, long-term vision… This moral contract is consistent with our keen sense of responsibility. We remain faithful to this commitment through our behavior, our actions and our words, both towards others and ourselves.

OUR HSE COMMITMENT (HEALTH - SAFETY - ENVIRONMENT)

Health and Safety at Work is a priority for JA Delmas and the companies within the network. These are values intrinsically linked to operational performance.

This is why we are introducing a system for the comprehensive management of health and safety and why we ask each of our employees to follow strict guidelines.

Our Health & Safety at Work Policy and our commitment form the foundations of a genuine corporate culture. Our “zero accident” objective is based on three interrelated values: the Commitment, Behavior and Performance of each and every one of our employees.
