CSR policy

HEYL ANALYSIS TECHNOLOGIES - As an independent company on a human scale, HEYL ANALYSIS TECHNOLOGIES is firmly committed to working towards a more sustainable, supportive and responsible business model. Our CSR approach is based on 4 fundamental pillars, supported collectively by management and all employees, in line with ISO 26000 standards, the French Labour Code and applicable European regulations.

Responsible purchasing

• We integrate environmental, social and ethical criteria into all our purchasing processes, in order to favour committed partners.
• Our key suppliers formally undertake to respect the fundamental conventions of the ILO (prohibition of child and forced labour, freedom of association, non-discrimination) by signing our Supplier Code of Conduct.
• We select partners who comply with European regulations such as REACH and the circular economy package.
• We assess our carriers on their environmental policy (e.g. UPS, our logistics partner, is committed to reducing its carbon emissions with a target of carbon neutrality by 2050).

Social & human rights

• HEYL AT protects the health and safety of its employees by means of an annually updated DUERP, easy access to occupational medicine, a mutual insurance scheme and a group provident scheme.
• Training in occupational risk prevention is organised on a regular basis.
• We provide working conditions that are dignified, flexible and adapted to health or climatic contingencies (teleworking, adjusted working hours).
• Recognition takes the form of a total remuneration package including 13^th months, PPV, luncheon vouchers, holiday vouchers and gift vouchers.
• Our practices comply with Articles L.4121-1 et seq. of the French Labour Code, the Professional Equality Act, and the Anti-Harassment Act of 27 January 2017.
• An appropriate internal whistleblowing system is available to all employees in the event of behaviour that violates human rights or ethics.

Environment

Reducing our environmental footprint is at the heart of our strategy. Every decision we make reflects this objective:

• Shipments entrusted to UPS, a player committed to decarbonisation, with annual monitoring of CO₂ emissions.
• Pooling logistics supplies with our suppliers to limit transport.
• Energy renovation of our premises: reversible heat pump, LED relamping.
• Implementation of an internal waste sorting and recovery procedure (SUEZ, Joyeux Recycleurs, etc.), in compliance with the French Environment Code - articles L541-1 et seq.
• All our products are accompanied by REACH-compliant SDSs.
• Adopting frugal practices: reducing paper consumption, optimising toner use, raising staff awareness.

Ethics and integrity

• HEYL AT applies the principles of transparency and fairness in all its business dealings.
• We apply a strict zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, conflicts of interest, anti-competitive practices and money laundering, in line with the recommendations of the Sapin II law.
• Sensitive transactions are governed directly by management, with rigorous budgetary control.
• In terms of data protection, we have :
  • An RGPD processing register compliant with Regulation (EU) 2016/679,
  • An updated privacy policy,
  • A mechanism for reporting security incidents,
  • Cybersecurity awareness sessions.

A collective and lasting commitment

HEYL ANALYSIS TECHNOLOGIES is committed to bringing this policy to life through concrete actions, monitored indicators and regular audits. Our commitments are part of a process of continuous improvement and mobilisation of our value chain. The CSR policy is steered by our Quality/CSR Manager, with an annual review and an action plan updated each year.
