Our Commitments
The EDA Group structures its CSR approach aroundfour fundamental pillars: :
Designing durable and responsible products
Preserving our planet
Acting for local development
Retaining and developing our employees
Context and Challenges
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become an essential lever to address environmental and social challenges. In the plastics industry, these issues take on particular importance in the face of the climate emergency and the need for better resource management.
The circular economy is at the heart of these considerations. It aims to transform waste by promoting recycling and material recovery. However, in France, only a small proportion of plastics is currently recovered.
Our Role
Faced with these challenges, the EDA Group focuses its efforts on manufacturing eco-designed, durable, and 100% recyclable products, to maximize their recyclability and reduce their environmental impact.
While the circular economy is supported by public policy, we play a key role in the manufacturing stage, by creating products that fit into this sustainable model.

Preventing the Loss of Industrial Plastic Pellets (IPP)
As part of our continuous improvement strategy and to ensure sustainable and environmentally responsible production—and in compliance with Decree 2021-461 of April 16, 2021 on the prevention of industrial plastic pellet losses—the EDA Group conducted an audit in May 2024 by a certified external company.
The measures put in place enabled us to obtain certification, valid for 3 years.
The EDA Group is actively committed to responsible management practices aimed at minimizing the environmental impacts related to IPP dispersion, by implementing all necessary technical and organizational measures.

We optimize our processes to limit water consumption and reduce our water footprint, especially in our manufacturing.
We invest in eco-design and innovation to develop sustainable and recyclable products, favoring mono-materials and optimizing resource use.
We reduce our environmental impact by maximizing the use of recycled materials, minimizing waste, and offering long-lasting products.
We contribute to ecosystem preservation by obtaining certifications such as PEFC and Plant’Action, which guarantee sustainable resource management and promote environmentally friendly practices.
Every day, we implement concrete actions for a more sustainable future, in line with our values of commitment and responsibility.
