Wifirst's Corporate Social Responsibility Policy (CSR)
CSR is at the forefront of everything that we do. As a leading WiFi and Internet Service Provider, we take great care in sourcing and implementing technology responsibly to strengthen our environmental and societal principles, enhancing the sustainability of all work conducted by Wifirst.
Supported by our management team and employees, we believe CSR and Sustainability Development to be an area of innovation, creativity and pride that we share with our clients, suppliers and partners each and every day.
Favouring concrete actions that have evolved through employee engagement, our approach is defined by its progressiveness while also being aligned with pioneers in the field:
In 2021, Wifirst signed the United Nations charter to promote socially responsible attitudes and is committed to integrating the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact into its corporate strategy, with a strong focus on the Sustainable Development Goals.
Wifirst relies on the Sustainable Development Goals to define its commitments and ambitions while aligning itself with Europe's 2030 agenda. Notably :
Furthering our commitment to CSR ethics, Wifirst is a member of Tech For Good France, THE network for entrepreneurs & investors who are dedicated to developing and financing technology and digital solutions to accelerate the transformation to a wholly, more sustainable and responsible society.
