Created by the "Pacte Law" of May 2019, relating to the growth and transformation of companies, the mission-driven company model enables a company (in France) to enshrine in its bylaws a “raison d'être” as well objectives that benefit the common interest and impact the quality of our environment:
environmental, social and societal issues.
Climate change, digitalization, over-consumption of non-renewable resources, human rights: companies can't just meet their CSR obligations; they also have a collective responsibility beyond their core business.
BDO, whose teams support several thousand companies - whether they are starting up, growing or in difficulty - has an impact on the entire economic fabric and society as a whole.
We are also one of the top recruiters (and trainers) in France. Our employer promise and our organization must take into account the expectations of our future employees.
Becoming a company with a mission means acknowledging this broader responsibility and integrating it into our strategy, so that every decision we take includes the search for a positive impact on our customers, our teams and the community as a whole, in order to play a full part in the emergence of a more sustainable, more ethical and more inclusive society.
Becoming a mission-driven company means obliging ourselves —in the sense of a promise and a commitment— to give meaning to our ambitions, to remain passionately committed.
BDO's mission is to support entrepreneurs and managers on their journey of transformation to become contributors to society.
We do this by raising their awareness, informing them and offering them services that will enable them to meet their own challenges in a sustainable way, while improving their performance.
It is thanks to our teams that BDO will achieve its ambitions: we are committed to providing a fulfilling and caring working environment for everyone in our offices.
We are convinced that the organizations of tomorrow are those that commit to a just transition to a more responsible, more inclusive, and more ethical world. Passionately committed, we mobilize our expertise* to accompany economic players towards a more sustainable model within their territories. To achieve this, we are committed to providing our teams with an environment conducive to balance, fulfillment, and the expression of their talents To be the foundation and springboard |
 | Promote the talents of our teams and develop their full potential |
 | Reduce the impact of our activities on the environment and cooperate with partners who share the same requirements |
 | Boost employment and integration in the areas where our teams and customers are present |
 | Promote responsible practices among our customers |
 | Contribute to the personal fulfillment of our employees by looking after their physical and mental health |
The implementation of the social and environmental objectives set by the company is monitored by a mission committee that is separate from the company's governing bodies. It comprises a minimum of 4 members, one of whom must be an employee of the company. These members are chosen by the Management Board from outside the members of this body and the company's executive directors.
Within BDO, a community of ambassadors has been formed, carrying with them the flame of commitment and the desire to make a difference. As employees of our company, they embody our values and guide our actions.
Their role? To share, inspire and weave links between teams, projects, and aspirations. They are the artisans of inclusion, encouraging sustainable and responsible practices. Every day, these ambassadors work to ensure that our mission resonates in every corridor, every meeting, every office.
