Our company recognises the importance of conducting its business in a sustainable and responsible manner. As a member of Eclosia Group, FTL, through Foundation Solidarité, has adopted a structured CSR program.
Our main objective is to help vulnerable groups through a 2% of its chargeable income of the preceding year stated in by the law.
FTL has set up a committee in order to coordinate our CSR activities efficiently. Its objective is not only to support our local community, but also to encourage employee's participation in our CSR activities through both individual and collective participation.
The FTL CSR Committee partners with neighbouring NGO's working with the youth in the region of Pointe aux Sables to bring sustainable change. These NGO's are specialised in their field of activity and are also familiar with region-specific environment.

Considering how much waste is being generated at our warehouse in Trou Fanfaron, FTL has set up a successful workplace recycling program for paper, cardboard, plastic and broken shipping pallets through hiring a skip bin.
We also compost our organic waste in our head-office in Pointe aux Sables, and therefore, contribute to reducing carbon emissions, minimising groundwater contamination, and putting waste to good use by allowing it to become a nutrient-rich fertilizer for our office garden, maintained by staff members, and for employees to use at home.
