CEOs

Pierrick & Anette Mathieu
Powerling co-founders

"Conscious of our responsibility towards society and the environment, we are constantly putting new measures in place to positively impact our environment.

We are a family business very attached to the values of transmission and respect. Passing on to future generations a world that respects women and men and preserves the natural resources that surround us is essential to us.

We want, at our level, to take part in this positive change and fulfill our duty to set an example."

On the way to B Corp certification!

It is for this reason that we are committed to the B Corp certification process, in order to have our social and environmental commitments recognized by our peers.

We want to be part of the family of 5000+ B Corp companies to work together for a more inclusive, regenerative, and supportive economy. As we await our certification, we share with you, in full transparency, our main commitments.

Professional development and training

Every employee should enjoy walking through the office door when they arrive in the morning, they are listened to and consulted to make their work experience a success.

We ensure that the balance between professional and personal life is respected and maintained. Time for rest and relaxation is provided to each employee throughout the day and throughout the year.

Powerling constantly increases the level of expertise of its teams through both traditional training programs, according to the needs of each individual, and through internal training. Sharing and making knowledge available from "those who know" to "those who do not yet know" is the rule at Powerling.

Collective intelligence is honored every week at Powerling via brainstorming lunches on a wide range of topics, mainly around the latest innovations and best practices on the market.

Equal opportunity, respect for diversity, and inclusiveness

We claim to be an inclusive company and are open to the integration of everyone. We respect others and do not discriminate on the basis of gender, age, nationality, physical disability, color, race, social status, religion, or political opinion.

Powerling makes it a point of honor to respect parity with a balance of men and women at all levels of positions.

This mix is reflected in our two co-founders, Pierrick Mathieu and Anette Van de Loo, who are married and manage the company jointly.

Employee well-being

The desks are adjustable in height allowing employees to work both sitting and standing, improving concentration and health in the long term. Each workstation is equipped with ergonomic chairs, a double screen, and private storage.

The premises offer real living spaces with a large equipped kitchen and table islands.

The Powerling France teams benefit from a foosball table, a private and modern fitness room as well as showers allowing the teams to practice sports in the morning before work, during lunch break, or at the end of the day.

Anti-corruption and conflicts of interest

We adhere to strict anti-bribery and conflict of interest rules for both our clients and partners.

We do not accept any gesture from our partners and subcontractors that could be interpreted as an incentive to collaborate or to encourage collaboration.

Similarly, we do not approach our clients to encourage contacts to collaborate with us in exchange for any benefits.

Fair competition

We advocate for equal opportunities and a choice of service providers made solely on the basis of the adequacy between the need expressed and the promise made.

Powerling adopts and supports without reservation the principle of fair competition and prohibits all unfair practices such as price fixing, exclusive contracts, and cartels,...

Confidentiality

Powerling is committed to protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all of the company's physical and electronic information assets to ensure compliance with regulatory, operational, and contractual principles.

Supplier Code of Ethics

We have developed a code of ethics that each Powerling supplier must follow based on the values of quality, transparency, honesty, respect, and non-discrimination.

In addition, we require all our suppliers based in France to provide us once a year with their certificate of vigilance issued by the Urssaf, attesting to the regularity of their situation with regard to the payment of their social security contributions in order to fight against concealed work.

Associative commitment and sponsorship

The end-of-year gifts to the French teams are purchased from the LEO Club Lille Pévèle Mélantois association which distributes winter kits to support people in need.

Powerling supports the French heritage with a sponsorship of competence of more than 8000€ renewed for 2022 with the Fondation Notre Dame.

Support for adapted or social insertion companies

Whenever possible, Powerling is committed to working with companies that employ disabled people or people who are far from employment. This is the case with EA'TERS, from whom we have ordered our goodies, and Solidarité Informatique, to whom we entrust our computer equipment for recycling and/or reuse; two adapted companies that employ disabled people and work for professional reintegration.

At Powerling, we are convinced that each one of us must act at his own level to minimize his impact on the environment. We believe that a company must be exemplary and that is why we make all our employees aware of the eco-responsible attitudes to adopt and the need to work for a cleaner and more respectful environment.

We have put in place an environmental charter that aims to demonstrate that respect for the environment is not a brake on growth but on the contrary a factor of development: it contributes to the improvement of the company's image and to the rapprochement of all the actors around common values.

Reducing our paper consumption

Reducing our electricity consumption

  • We have replaced all our lamps with low-energy lamps in all our offices and living rooms.
  • All computer equipment, household appliances, and the WIFI terminal are switched off in the evening and at weekends (not just put on standby).
  • We heat at a maximum temperature of 19°.

Reduce, sort, and recycle our waste

Optimizing our trips

We prefer to travel by foot or by public transport and we group as many of our appointments as possible according to their geographical area or prefer the remote digital format.

Choosing committed suppliers and providers

We select our suppliers and service providers according to their environmental approach and, as far as possible, we are committed to working with companies located as close as possible to our sites.
