Our commitments
The Herpain Group is involved over the long term in various humanitarian projects.
These projects are chosen on the basis of the causes on which Herpain wishes to take action: education, housing and youth assistance.
To be a committed employer
The Herpain Group has always set great store by the needs and expectations of its staff, who are the bedrock of the company. The commitment they show day to day fosters collaborative working and quality of working life. In terms of health and safety, the company has shown its commitment by signing the Safety my Priority Charter. Diversity, gender balances and equal opportunities are also an integral part of the Group’s values.
To be a partner ‘par excellence’
The Herpain Group does everything in its power to propose innovative and sustainable solutions of the highest quality to each and every one of its customers. Our reliability makes it possible to maintain a strong relationship of trust in the long term by meeting customers’ needs.
To be a player that respects its environment
While the world has realized the scale of environmental challenges, urgent action is required. This is why the Herpain Group has put an environmental strategy in place in conjunction with stakeholders. We are committed to limiting the impact of our activities on the environment by adapting our production methods and practices.
Corporate and social responsibility
It is crucial, now more than ever, that all companies draw up an inventory of the social and environmental impacts of their activities. The Herpain Group is contributing to building an inclusive society as part of a sustainable and responsible approach.

Our associations
Le groupe Herpain soutient depuis de nombreuses années différentes associations et causes qui lui tiennent à cœur :
Reforest'Action

Erasmus Fund

Handicap International
Handicap International operates throughout the world to help the disabled to find their way towards leading a dignified life. The Association also helps vulnerable people in crisis situations (natural disasters, armed conflict, etc.).
Samilia
All forms of human trafficking involve the same violation of human rights/ The SAMILIA Foundation acts to alert the general public to the danger and lobby those who have the power to change things. We are working at grassroots level to alert potential victims to the dangers of trafficking, which targets those populations that are the most vulnerable to exploitation.
Child Focus
The Foundation for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children is a public-interest foundation operating under the name Child Focus.
The Foundation does everything possible, on line and off line, to find missing children and combat the sexual exploitation of minors 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Travail et Partage
Created in 2010 by a former special-needs teacher, Travail et Partage makes it a rule to foster the employment of handicapped workers. In a complex labour market, finding employment is far from easy and all the more so if you have a disability.
In this regard, Travail et Partage employs persons with a disability in its workshop, secretariat and in sales, etc.
Nekto

Protégeons nos enfants
Protégeons nos enfants is a body aimed at providing logistic and monetary support to various associations and hospitals directly involved in helping children suffering from cancer, autism or a disability. Our team of volunteers are in regular contact with these different entities to identify various shortfalls and seek to remedy them through what we are capable of offering. We are firmly committed to contributing as much as possible to the care and follow-up of these children.

Pierre d'Angle is a NPO for the homeless that offers year-round accommodation and day care with showers, naps and social support.
Hopiness
Hopiness is a NPO that aims to provide young sports talents who lack sufficient financial resources with effective, professional human support.
The aim is to help them develop their abilities in order that they can oint he world elite in their sport in the short or mid-term.
Run For Hope
Run For Hope is a team of runners, whose members have been confronted, from near or far, with childhood cancer.
Together, we share the desire to do something to help young patients, parents and siblings get through this terrible ordeal in the best possible conditions.
We run because we want every child with cancer to receive the best possible care and to recover with the best possible long-term quality of life!
Le petit vélo jaune
Le Petit vélo jaune supports disadvantaged, vulnerable and/or isolated families. The idea is to harness the educational strengths and skills of parents, to help them to resolve their day-to-day problems (financial, administrative and housing) so that they can devote more time to their babies and young children.
