Context
PAQTE law
In July 2018 the French government introduced so-called PAQTE law (Pacte Avec les Quartiers Prioritaires pour Toutes les Entreprises) in order to encourage companies to not only bring economical contributions in the locations they are established, but also social impacts in defined town districts.
Today 75 companies are signatories of PAQTE, including DECATHLON, and their commitment until 2021 gravitates on the 4 major axis:
- Sensitization of the youth of the corporate world, increased number of internships;
- Access to work-linked training;
- Implementation of non-discriminatory recruitment policy;
- More sustainable and inclusive purchases.
National program « Territory with zero unemployment » is an experiment since 2016 which seeks to reduce the number of long-term (more than 12 months inactivity) unemployed persons in the country, that is now 10 different areas with a population of 10 000.
To achieve this, unemployed persons and the partners’ committees of the local territory are brought together for co-construction of further actions.
Why should we act inclusively?
Share projects with our ecosystem
Inclusivity allows us to bring people together and facilitates smooth co-existence with others – both persons and different entities. In this way we can co-create and share various projects with members of our ecosystem.
In a company, inclusivity means greater social employee mixity (male, female, persons with handicap..), but also internal policy which is taking into consideration local social challenges, which shows openness towards other members of its ecosystem and the willingness to create trustworthy links. Every actor with its whole team takes personal responsibility to build links and cultivate the culture of inclusivity so that equity and social cohesion could be reached, not forgetting the innovations and economic results.
