CSR and Eco-design
Against a backdrop of climate, social and regulatory change, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a strategic priority. Companies must reconcile economic performance, health-safety and well-being at work, the safety of infrastructure and respect for the environment.
Eco-design also represents a major lever. By incorporating eco-design principles into their practices, manufacturers are actively contributing towards ecological transformation by enhancing their corporate image and social commitment. Seres Technologies supports these players by providing solutions targeting the specific challenges they face.

FAQs
Why is CSR a strategic lever for manufacturing companies?
An effective CSR policy allows companies to reduce their environmental footprint, optimise energy costs, address the well-being of their employees and improve their corporate appeal and image as well as anticipate future regulations, in so doing ensuring better resilience and competitiveness in the long term.
How does incorporating life cycle analysis in a company’s CSR approach allow it to more efficiently evaluate and reduce the company’s social and environmental impact?
The incorporation of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) into the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) framework offers several significant benefits for assessing and reducing the environmental and social impact of business activities:
- Full impact assessment: LCAs allow us to analyse the social and environmental impacts of a product or service throughout its life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials to its end of life
- Identification of opportunities for improvement and implementation of eco-design strategies
- Support with decision-making according to a standardised norm
- Enhanced transparency and communication with stakeholders.
Why engage in a CSR initiative, related to Ecological Transition?
The optimisation of industrial processes, the use of clean technologies and the adoption of stringent environmental standards make it possible to reconcile productivity and sustainable development, while ensuring the regulatory compliance, safety and longevity of facilities. Adopting a Carbon Trajectory allows us to meet European targets and prepare for decarbonisation requirements.
