LIFTEUROP designs and develops slings, lifting beams, clamps and other high-quality lifting accessories that ensure the protection of property and people. That is why it is important to choose the right suppliers. “First and foremost, we work with permanent suppliers! These are long-term collaborations. But our suppliers must have social practices that are consistent with our own. The ALIPA Group buys responsibly and expects that its suppliers share the same values of respect for the environment and sustainability,” states Julien Dethier, buyer.

A CSR approach involves integrating the three pillars of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. In the eyes of society, the environment is very important. Julien Dethier confirms: “All of our suppliers must meet a specification, in which they must demonstrate that they comply with REACH, a European regulation adopted to better protect human and environmental health against risks associated with chemical substances.”

As a consequence, LIFTEUROP can claim to be a socially responsible company. The CSR approach is going to be increasingly important in business relationships. Today, a company using a CSR approach has a better chance of securing a contract than an ordinary company.
