Mersen’s Valuable 500 Commitment:
Mersen intends to include the integration of disability in it’s global strategy at the highest level and in all of it’s operating processes.
As Mersen CEO, I’m convinced that disability inclusion in the Group’s policy contributes to changing the collective representation of disability in our operations and in the society more globally.
It is one of the pillar of Mersen Corporate Social Responsibility.
In this context, Mersen has defined a program based on 4 pillars:
-
Combating prejudice and representation
-
Recruitment and job retention of disabled people
-
Physical working environment adaptation
-
Internal and external inclusion
The first action’s aim is to foster an inclusive culture by developing a training program on disability for all Mersen managers similar to what we have done recently for Gender Diversity.
Our goal: raising awareness on disabilities, demystifying beliefs, managing potential fears and objections.
I appointed Didier Muller, Group VP Asia and Latin America as Mersen disability inclusion champion, to deploy those 4 pilars and as a member of Mersen Executive committee on all Mersen sites world wide.
I will support initiatives that are in line with this objective as it fits our values, Mersen sustainable growth objectives and focus on human capital.
