It enhances the company’s brand image to attract and retain customers and talent. It impacts on the company’s ability to anticipate future regulations, the economic context and societal demands. Finally, it places the company in a position of responsibility and permanent innovation, and enhances its overall performance.

The objective of a CSR in the Hautes-Alpes region
Organize on a departmental scale and broaden the scope of CSR.
On January 8, 2026, some 20 professional organizations in the department (chambers of commerce, federations, unions, representative bodies, etc.) signed the Hautes-Alpes CSR Charter. This charter formalizes a shared commitment: to rally public and private stakeholders around a development model aligned with our social, economic, environmental, and governance challenges.
The signing of this charter marks our commitment to a shared vision in which the development of mountain territories is combined with social inclusion, ecological transition, economic dynamism and collective governance.
