A new Platinum EcoVadis medal for Alba
Alba is a French family-owned company that has been designing and manufacturing over 400 office accessories, furniture, and supplies for 60 years. Alba operates in France, Europe, and the United States, with an annual turnover of 10 million euros.
We have been working with Alba on their EcoVadis rating since 2023. In 2026, Alba wanted to continue its CSR journey and improve by completing the EcoVadis questionnaire once again.
While the initial request three years ago came from a client, the goal today has expanded and become firmly established: structuring the company's CSR policy for the long term, going beyond a simple assessment to provide concrete tools for driving progress.
Recent achievements:
Once again this year, Alba chose to partner with Altopi to frame their approach and accelerate implementation.
With the support of our dedicated CSR project manager, the priorities were:
Structuring a responsible purchasing strategy, specifically through:
- Drafting a supplier code of conduct,
- Integrating CSR clauses into subcontracting agreements,
- Creating a purchasing map,
- Conducting on-site CSR supplier assessments.
Strengthening social impact and compliance, with:
- An employee satisfaction survey,
- A first-aid training day,
- GDPR training.
Ensuring long-term momentum through:
- Drafting a CSR report that defines concrete improvement goals and key areas for growth.
🥇 Already a recipient of prestigious awards, Alba renewed its Platinum medal in 2026, validating the structure and quality of its approach. This time, Alba achieved a score of 100/100.
Beyond this rating, which rewards all the actions implemented over the past several months and their follow-up, the company has initiated key reflections and projects, including:
- exploring manufacturing a new product line in Europe
- establishing CSR governance to track progress and involve management
- To broaden internal engagement, ALBA also launched a team awareness initiative via a Climate Fresk workshop.
“We particularly appreciated Altopi’s professionalism and adaptability. Our dedicated CSR expert knew her subject perfectly and was able to guide us and answer all our questions. She helped put our company’s plans into concrete action and continues to support us today in achieving our goals.”
