Founded in 1975, agnès b. has always been a company committed to sustainable fashion, solidarity and environmental protection. It is therefore quite natural that the company has chosen to join the ICS initiative.
In contrast to the trend towards «disposable» fashion, which encourages the over-consumption of clothes, agnès b. creates timeless fashion, models that are repeated and revisited from season to season, and that are worn from generation to generation. «I attach a lot of importance to the fact that the clothes I create are long lasting» says Agnès Troublé, the company’s designer. What could be more ecological?
agnès b. also takes care to use responsible materials, particularly natural ones, for the manufacture of the clothes. To reduce the carbon footprint, our clothes are produced as close as possible to the points of sale: in France and Europe for the French market, and in Asia for Japan and Hong Kong.
We have a special relationship with our suppliers, many of whom we have worked with for years, (in some cases since the brand launched) and are keen to actively involve them in our efforts to respect social and environmental standards.
Since 2003, agnès b. has been particularly involved in the protection of the oceans, and bought the schooner Tara, a floating laboratory that conducts scientific expeditions to learn more about the oceans around the world. Tara and agnès b. are working in particular on the fight against plastic pollution. agnès b. is committed to completely eliminating the use of plastic for packaging intended for customers in the stores or on the e-commerce site by 2022.

BUT, it is 50 years of creativity in the service of household equipment. We invented ready-to-furniture in the 1970s to democratize access to interior furnishings, equipment and decoration.
Always dedicated to «well-being», we have now become the leading home equipment network, omnichannel and multi-specialist, with more than 320 stores in France and 9,000 employees. Our retail sales are less than 20 minutes from 80% of French people! This proximity makes us proud; it is a reassuring asset for our customers with whom we have been able to create a unique link.
Furniture, Decoration, Bedding, Kitchen, Appliances and Sound, whatever our offer, our priority remains to combine quality, accessibility and availability to give everyone the opportunity to give free rein to their interior desires whatever their budget and without waiting.
BUT has constantly evolved to meet and anticipate consumer expectations, always remaining faithful to the fundamental values that have structured its model and forged its personality: sincerity, proximity, usefulness.
Our ambition is to be the leader for responsible choice accessible to everyone in the home equipment sector.

Vivarte and its retail chains are now looking to step up their CSR activities and have decided to join French retailer CSR association ICS from Spring 2017, believing that this move will help the company meet its responsible procurement goals while supporting and urging suppliers to do likewise.
ICS’s diverse and blue-chip members and partners testify to the association’s credibility and clout. A primary decision factor was the possibility to access ICS’s database, swap best practices and correspond with other retailers about CSR activities.
This joint retailer venture will allow us to ramp up our social responsible practices together.

Since a few years Carrefour covers 100% of its sourcing factories with a social audit in the countries where the risks of non compliance are considered to be the higher.
The steps now followed are:
Increase the possibility of sharing audit results through the development of ICS but also through the acceptation of other audit standard results such as BSCI to reduce the number of audits by factory and foster convergence between social initiatives.
Work on capacity building with a stable number of suppliers and, when possible, through multi-stakeholders initiatives
Measure the impacts of compliance actions
Key 2017 figures:
1 452 production sites audited, both on food and non food
23% of audit sharing with ICS members

Inventor of the vacation club concept over 60 years ago, Club Med is now the global leader in upscale, friendly and multicultural all-inclusive vacations. Without denying the state of mind of its founders, the initial “living together”, it aims to become the world leader in premium all-inclusive holidays with the French expertise, for families and for active couples.
Club Med today operates a total of 71 Resorts, two-thirds of which are 4T and Luxury 5T Resorts. The range also includes cruising on the 5-mast Club Med 2 sailing ship, and inspired luxury tours with Circuits Découverte by Club Med. The latest opportunity from this continually innovative company is the chance to buy freehold Luxury Villas and Chalets alongside the Valmorel and La Plantation d’Albion resorts.
Since its creation in 1950, Club Med has been committed to reducing its environmental footprint, actively contributing to local development, and bringing people from different cultures and backgrounds to live and work together. Because access to unspoilt nature is at the very origin of his birth, he has always been committed to protecting the dream sites that host his Villages. Since 2005, it has been committed through its sustainable program, with the ambition of continuing to show the way to a more sustainable and therefore more desirable tourism.
Responsible purchasing thus fits naturally into the Group’s strategy of responsible performance. Club Med’s approach to responsible purchasing focuses on three pillars of sustainable development: environmental, social and societal.
Since 2006, all Club Med suppliers are invited by the buyers from 12 purchasing offices, to share the Group’s values by accepting a new clause on ethics and practices which appears in standard contracts. This clause commits suppliers and service providers on key points: freedom from harassment; no use of child labor; no discrimination; no use of forced labor; existence of a minimum wage; freedom of association and trade union rights. In 2017, this clause has been amended to reinforce the prevention of the corruption.
Buyers, by asserting Club Med’s CSR requirements to all their current and potential suppliers, help develop the maturity of their business partners.
In an international context in which human, social and environmental tragedies have increased in frequency and severity over the last few years, Club Med decided in 2015 to join the ICS to work with the other members of the initiative on the impact of its activities on its supply-chain as a whole.
In 2016, CSR risks in purchases were mapped with an external expert organization in order to better hierarchize the priorities in reasonable vigilance approaches (audits…). Club Med has now a better visibility on the stakes by categories of purchases and countries of sourcing. The selection of factories to audit in terms of human rights are based on this analysis.
At the end of the audits, our approach aims to support suppliers in their progress initiatives by ensuring that the progress plans proposed by the auditors are implemented.

Year after year, the collaboration between the ICS members has been improved with a great development of the sharing audit base which is an excellent tool for the social factory monitoring.
Therefore, the ethical voice of Conforama is strongly spread towards our suppliers for a sustainable improvement of the working conditions of their employees.
We mainly have focused our efforts on the Asian and Brazilian zones where our local staff day after day works with the factories so as to check the corrective actions implementation. The manufacturers understand the actions conducted and have showed some real social investments in their facilities and thus have the Conforama agreement.

Our objective is to satisfy our customers through the design, manufacture, purchase and marketing of textile and household products.
We decided to join ICS in October 2016, a new step in the implementation of our sustainable procurement policy called Damart Way.
We started this Damart Way initiative with 3 main deployment axis:
An audit campaign and support plans of subcontractors of our own factory,
The buyers involvement: process, training, tools,
The development of our societal role
We decided to accelerate this policy joining ICS with 3 main commitments:
Manage the social and environmental risk
Re-inforce our societal role
Develop the internal mobilization
These commitments are consistent with an approach of continuous improvement because we made it our priority to offer excellent products to our customers and because it’s also extremely important for us to do this in an ethical way.

Aware of the environmental impact of the textile industry, it is our responsibility to establish a sustainable and responsible model meeting the environmental, social and ethical issues we definitely have to face for the well-being of the generations to come. We made sustainable procurement a priority through our CSR policy.
Our garments are part of our know-how and we choose our suppliers to consider them as partners we will be working with to commit ourselves to the society of tomorrow.
From 2020, our compliance with ICS will allow us to jointly advance on major challenges such as traceability of our garments, working conditions improvements and environmental protection in global supply chains.

With operations in some 70 countries around the world, Vivarte is a leading French ready-to-wear fashion, footwear and leather goods retailer backed by top brands. Buoyed by 2017 revenues of €1.8bn, Vivarte continues to refocus operations based on a three-pronged strategy designed to fulfil latest consumer demand and trends, including out-of-town chain La Halle, town centre footwear chains Minelli, San Marina and CosmoParis and town centre ready-to-wear chain Caroll.
Vivarte and its retail chains are now looking to step up their CSR activities and have decided to join French retailer CSR association ICS from Spring 2017, believing that this move will help the company meet its responsible procurement goals while supporting and urging suppliers to do likewise.
ICS’s diverse and blue-chip members and partners testify to the association’s credibility and clout. A primary decision factor was the possibility to access ICS’s database, swap best practices and correspond with other retailers about CSR activities.
This joint retailer venture will allow us to ramp up our social responsible practices together.

The Sustainable Development Department is in charge of steering the social ethics process and, in particular, controlling the working conditions in the factories of its suppliers that work for Monoprix, independently of the purchasing departments. Each year, it implements social audit campaigns planned and monitored by the social ethics officer.
Monoprix is one of the founders of the initiative “ICS” (Social Clause Initiative) in 1998. Its objective is to share with other retailing members the same audit tools / methodology, audit results and best practices. Since then, more than 850 audits have been conducted.
At the end of an audit, a Corrective Actions Plan is set up. If the supplier did not implement the requested adjustments, Monoprix can stop working with the plant. Our aim is to secure the factories, to limit the risks for the employees and to reduce the impact of the goods production.

We love our product but we prefer the kids who wear it. We think the energy of the world of tomorrow stands on kids’ skills which emerge thanks to the benevolent gaze of adult.
We decided to join ICS in March 2018 because in TAO we think that team work is more efficient and constructive.
We made the assessment that the textile industry is one of the most polluting and we are concern with the world we let to our children. That’s why we decided to work on two axes to reduce our impact on different scales:
- Environmental: Good product for the environment and the consumer.
- Social : Happiness at work
We think with ICS we can accentuate our work about:
- The traceability
- Sharing of good practice
