Sustainability by Leyton

Corporate Social Responsibility is at the heart of our DNA 

Our Ambition

Through the Sustainability by Leyton program, we are coordinating all our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) actions
by relying on the expertise of our employees in technical, energy and economic transition.  
Our group also sponsors numerous organisations and foundations, whose social, environmental and societal causes we support.  

In all the countries where we are based, our employees are prepared to respond to the challenges of tomorrow with both customers and organisations alike. Now more than ever, our responsibility as a business is to actively participate in the social and environmental transition by integrating these topics into our activity. To register our development, we have grand ambitions and numerous projects – those of our employees and clients in a sustainable outlook.

How we act to reach the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 

SDG#3 :

Good Health and Well-being

In the last few months, we have initiated several campaigns to support and thank individuals who helped support the fight against COVID-19, such as donating 1% of all fees collected by the company between April and June to the National Health Service in the UK, the Pasteur Institute in France and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in Spain. 

SDG#5 :

Gender equality

Our US & Spain offices have launched ‘Leyton Women in STEM’ campaigns to celebrate & appreciate our female technical consultants who bring highly advanced technical knowledge & industry expertise to provide valuable benefits to our clients. 

SDG#7 :

Affordable and clean energy

In January  2020,  we hosted The Sustainable Startup Challenge, an international competition in which start-ups competed for a chance to win a stand at #CES2020. BeFC Bioenzymatic Fuel Cells stood out with an ecological paper based fuel cell system that uses biological catalysts instead of chemical catalysts.

SDG#11 :

Sustainable cities and communities

In Morocco, our employees organized a clean beach  operation, and in the UK several employees joined a tree planting operation.

SDG#11 :

Sustainable cities and communities

In line with our efforts to protect the environment, Leyton has opted for “ecological” and eco-friendly offices for its head office in Paris and also for its branch in Italy.

SDG#14 :

Life below water

We are a Corporate Partner of the Blue Marine Foundation, a charity dedicated to restoring the ocean’s health by addressing overfishing, one of the world’s biggest environmental problems.

SDG#15

Ethical and responsible purchasing charter

Purchasing is currently our main source of carbon emissions. To ensure that our partners upstream in our value chain fully embrace our approach to social and environmental transition, we have strengthened our approach to responsible purchasing. From now on, all new contractual agreements with our suppliers will include a specific clause relating to their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments and will require them to submit to a documentary audit. Given that the ‘scope 3′ emissions category of our carbon footprint is the most complex to reduce, it has become imperative to verify our partners’ sincere commitment to this crucial cause.
