Sustainability Report 2021

31 PRT GROUP “Our main investment is represented by the people. In our opinion, it is crucial to find expert and valuable people who are able to make PRT France grow.” The evaluation policy for suppliers at a European level follows a well-defined strategy, that takes into consideration the proposed technical solution, planning, the cost and issue of certifications – a criteria that has become more and more important within the sector and for the company. That is why we chose to be independent from PRT as far as supplies are concerned: in order to ensure the best quality and prices, and this makes PRT France a successful company. During 2021, the relocation to the office in Versailles was completed, while maintaining a flexible organization taking into account the distance home-to-office for employees. Despite it was not necessary anymore, the chance to keep working from home was still given to employees, in accordance with French norms – with a consequent reduced impact on the environment. In economic terms, 2021 was a very positive year, also and foremost thanks to a new operation about the management of deliveries of face masks to citizens. Being in charge of organizing and managing suppliers and production, PRT France played a strategic role and respected the customer’s requests and delivery deadlines. PRT France’s traditional business instead, is experiencing changing phases due to such a complex historic moment. The situation at a global level led customers to make different choices: some kept sending paper notices, others preferred to slow down, or even halt their marketing activities, while waiting for a return to normal life. In September 2021, PRT France moved from Verrières le Buisson to Versailles. Such a change brought some important advantages: - A new office, more modern and boosting a cutting-edge computer infrastructure allowing the staff to work in a more effective way. - A larger open-space office that significantly improves cooperation among workers, and makes the exchange of information faster when it comes to managing work and possible problems. - A workplace closer to most employees’ homes, and easier to reach because it is very efficiently connected by transport means such as buses and subways, when compared to the previous office.
