in Hautes-Alpes

A few months after being awarded the label as part of the second phase of the Territoires d’industrie 2023-2027 program, the Hautes-Alpes is stepping up the pace in the field. The program is structured around several priorities: land management and attractiveness, ecological transition and resources, innovation and R&D, structuring of industries, skills and training. In concrete terms, some twenty projects have already been launched. These include the rehabilitation of brownfield sites and the modernization of new production units.

Towards a CSR framework
territorial

In addition to supporting projects, the steering committee intends to place the approach in a broader perspective, with a view to the Olympic Winter Games 2030. We are currently considering the creation of a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR ) reference framework adapted to local conditions. The aim is to make social and environmental performance an essential criterion for access to public and private contracts, and for the granting of financing.

Training
and attracting talent

The dynamic also relies on the human factor. The annual Industry Week event, aimed at secondary school students, attracts more and more young people every year. This is an encouraging sign for a region seeking to boost its attractiveness and prepare the next generation for the rapidly changing industrial professions.
