Manutan Group celebrates CSR in September

In September, Manutan Group employees came together for our in-house Corporate Social Responsibility Month, an annual initiative designed to raise awareness, inspire and empower everyone to play their part in building a better planet. Discover the initiatives rolled out across our 25 European subsidiaries as part of the 2026 edition. 

A collective commitment across Europe 

To mark World Cleanup Day, nearly 300 employees across our subsidiaries in France, the UK, Italy, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway rolled up their sleeves to take part in local clean-up activities. Working together to clear litter from the areas surrounding their sites, teams collected hundreds of kilos of waste. 

Learning from nature to meet tomorrow’s challenges 

One of the highlights of this year’s programme was a conference attended by more than 400 employees and led by Tarik Chekchak, a nature explorer at the Institut des Futurs Souhaitables and former Director of Science and Environment at Équipe Cousteau. Through the lens of biomimicry, he encouraged participants to look at the natural world in a new light and explore what we can learn from nature to tackle the challenges ahead. 

Local initiatives making a difference on the ground 

Alongside these Group-wide activities, our subsidiaries organised a range of local initiatives tailored to their specific priorities. At the Group’s European headquarters, teams reopened their charity shop, giving everyday items a second lease of life. At Casal Sport, our French sports equipment specialist, employees took part in awareness-raising activities to deepen their knowledge of waste sorting. 

Through this latest edition of Manutan Group’s CSR Month, we are encouraging everyone to turn shared commitment into collective action. While each initiative may be a one-off, together they form part of a broader, year-round approach driven by our ambition to reinvent B2B commerce for a better world.
