Our commitment to Corporate Social Responsability

Aware of the impact of any company on society, Herald has decided to invest in CSR by creating a dedicated committee which considers matters which affect our firm internally as well as social and environmental issues, and gives direction to our strategy.

At the end of 2016, in order to respond in the most comprehensive way to the challenges of social engagement, we decided to commit to pro bono work focusing on two themes: the struggle against exclusion and the promotion of equal opportunity.

We are working with two leaders in these fields: Samu Social de Paris and l’Institut Télémaque
