The EcoVadis Platinum medal: structuring and showcasing Staffizy’s CSR strategy
In 2017, the Job Link group, a specialist in permanent and temporary recruitment, launched its subsidiary Staffizy to provide an innovative, digital-first temp staffing solution.
By targeting the managed staffing market, Staffizy isolates this service to provide a specialized solution. In the context of managed staffing, this innovation is primarily reflected in an online management platform exclusively dedicated to client requests and temp worker administrative processes.
The context: higher client expectations and a tight schedule
In 2024, Joblink accelerated its CSR strategy with the goal of evaluating existing commitments, building a solid management framework, and getting teams on board for the long haul. In this context, Staffizy needed to respond quickly without sacrificing quality: structuring the EcoVadis submission, ensuring reliable data for the carbon footprint, and engaging teams so the initiative goes beyond just paperwork.
Against this backdrop, the main objectives were set:
- Structure the CSR strategy and provide concrete, verifiable evidence, particularly via EcoVadis.
- Achieve an EcoVadis rating that is both valuable and aligned with actual practices.
- Measure and manage environmental impact via a comprehensive Carbon Footprint (S1/S2/S3).
- Mobilize teams to create internal advocates and initiate visible, day-to-day actions.
Our approach: a “proof + management + engagement” method
Joblink chose Altopi to lead three complementary projects over a tight timeframe (April to July 2024) to quickly align EcoVadis performance, carbon management structure, and internal mobilization.
1) EcoVadis: structuring the response and securing evidence
Objective: make the approach clear, robust, and defensible in the face of client demands.
We supported the teams in:
- defining a response method (organization, responsibilities, timeline);
- structuring the file and categorizing evidence;
- strengthening the consistency between policies, actions, indicators, and documentation;
-ensure a methodical response to the questionnaire, despite a busy internal schedule.
2) Carbon Footprint (scopes 1, 2, 3): quantifying the impact and setting priorities
Goal: establish a reliable, data-driven foundation to guide the environmental strategy.
Altopi conducted a Carbon Footprint assessment for scopes 1, 2, and 3 in accordance with the GHG Protocol, focusing on:
- data collection and validation (quality, traceability, consistency);
- identifying key emission sources;
- contextualizing results to facilitate decision-making and action prioritization.
3) Team engagement: On-site Climate Fresk workshop
Goal: accelerate understanding of climate issues and spark a momentum for action.
We facilitated an on-site Climate Fresk workshop (in Marseille) to:
- share a common understanding of the mechanisms behind climate change;
- connect global challenges with practical, everyday solutions;
- foster collective momentum and generate ideas for improvement.
A strong commercial asset + a structured roadmap
- Platinum EcoVadis medal awarded to Staffizy: a result that provides immediate value to clients and partners (and serves as an additional asset in business development).
- A structured foundation for managing the environmental roadmap: S1/S2/S3 Carbon Footprint completed, data consolidated, and key levers clarified.
- Internal momentum underway: changes in daily habits observed (shutting down computers, better heating/AC management, adoption of eco-friendly practices), and the start of an action plan.
- Next steps already in motion: Joblink is planning to extend the EcoVadis process to the entire group.
“We particularly appreciated Altopi’s professionalism and adaptability. Carla, our dedicated CSR expert, knows her subject inside out and was able to guide us and answer all our questions. She successfully mobilized our company in a concrete way and continues to support us today in achieving our goals.”
