Our CSR commitments

KEPLER’s CSR approach is fully aligned with the values that have shaped the firm since its creation:

• Humility: being accessible, tolerant and caring
• Solidarity: being present when needed and seeking appropriate solutions
• Commitment: leading by example and maintaining high standards
• Teamwork: encouraging knowledge sharing, collaboration and skill development
• Client value creation: remaining results-oriented while building long-term impact

In a constantly evolving environment, companies must reconcile economic performance, regulatory requirements, stakeholder expectations and environmental challenges.

KEPLER believes that corporate social responsibility should not be viewed solely as a constraint, but as a lever for sustainable transformation.

Decarbonization, supply chain responsibility and social impact are now integrated transversally across organizations. This vision guides both our internal operations and the way we support transformation programs.

To turn its commitment to social and environmental responsibility into concrete action, KEPLER launched its internal CSR transformation program, KARE, in 2019.

This program aims to promote and coordinate the firm’s actions on the most structuring environmental, social and ethical topics, in alignment with the principles of the United Nations Global Compact.

Led by a cross-functional team, KARE mobilizes all employees around shared objectives, monitors initiatives and embeds the approach within a continuous improvement framework.

• Reducing the environmental footprint of our activities
• Strengthening our social and human impact
• Ensuring ethical and responsible practices
• Structuring and continuously improving our internal operations
• Developing a shared culture of responsibility and sustainable transformation

🔹 Reducing our environmental footprint

In a business where travel represents a major challenge, KEPLER takes concrete actions to reduce its carbon footprint:

• conducting regular carbon assessments
• implementing a remote work charter (up to 2 days per week with financial support)
• reimbursing 100% of public transportation costs
• promoting soft mobility solutions (bicycles, equipment, parking facilities)
• limiting high environmental impact travel
• prohibiting flights when a train alternative under 3 hours is available

🔹 Waste and resource management

KEPLER implements concrete initiatives to reduce waste and improve waste management:

• waste sorting and recycling through specialized partners
• removal of individual office bins
• reduction of meal-related waste
• use of reusable containers and equipment

🔹 Governance and ethics

The firm applies high standards in ethics and governance:

• implementation of an anti-corruption policy
• creation of an Ethics Committee
• deployment of a Responsible Procurement policy
• compliance with transparency, compliance and accountability principles

The Responsible Procurement policy notably aims to reduce the impact of purchasing activities, support suppliers responsibly and embed these practices within a continuous improvement approach.

🔹 Social commitment and inclusion

KEPLER places people at the center of its development:

• zero-tolerance policy on discrimination and harassment
• Diversity & Inclusion Committee
• signature of the Diversity Charter
• development of skills and employability
• continuous improvement of quality of life at work

Building a shared culture is a key transformation lever.

KEPLER has integrated the Climate Fresk workshop into employee development programs to strengthen understanding of climate challenges and encourage concrete actions.

The objective is to train all teams and develop internal ambassadors capable of carrying these topics forward over time.

Since its creation, KEPLER has supported business transformations close to operational realities.

Sustainable transformation, corporate responsibility and environmental performance challenges are now integrated transversally across organizations, particularly in connection with procurement, supply chain, innovation, operations and transformation functions.

Our CSR approach reflects this consistency: it is part of a global, pragmatic and sustainable vision of performance.

KEPLER continues to develop its CSR approach with a clear objective: contributing to more sustainable, responsible and resilient business models.

This commitment is long-term and fully aligned with the firm’s ambition: supporting high-performing, responsible and value-creating transformations.
