OUR AMBITIONS FOR BUILDING A NEW WORLD
«The Earth is our most valuable asset, and we want to safeguard it for future generations. To achieve this, we must preserve natural resources and energy while contributing to the decarbonisation of the economy. By providing practical and innovative solutions to recycle and recover as much waste as possible, our Group stands at the heart of the ecological transition. In just 30 years, we have become a leader in material recycling and a major player in the production of green energy.
Our growth model has been driven by the unwavering objective of achieving a greener planet, while remaining fully committed to the idea of a fairer and more united society. Promoting equal opportunities, diversity and fraternity is part of our DNA. We are proud to have built a group that continues to grow steadily, both in France and internationally, across more than ten countries».
The Petithuguenin Family
Paprec’s growth is founded on strong values built around four key pillars: diversity, kindness, excellence and team spirit.
Jean-Luc Petithuguenin, founder of Paprec, has received the “Entrepreneur of the Year” award on several occasions. Since its creation, the company has already been awarded more than 35 distinctions.
OUR VALUES ARE BUILT ON FOUR KEY PILLARS
DIVERSITY
We respect people in the diversity of their opinions, culture, religion, education, origins and age. We fight against all forms of discrimination, promoting equal opportunities.
People are at the heart of the Group. We place individuals at the centre of our activities. They are trained, supported and encouraged to develop within their profession. Together, they bring to life an inclusive and equal-opportunities Group, where the desire to take on new challenges is a guiding principle.
RESPECT
Kindness is a necessary and essential condition for the Group’s collective performance, just as mutual respect is.
EXCELLENCE
Excellence as a goal is part of our identity.
We pay meticulous attention to every detail, from the materials we produce to the services we provide to our clients. In terms of technology, Paprec uses the best tools currently available, while also investing in the technologies of tomorrow. Our objective is to continuously evolve waste collection and recovery methods in order to achieve high performance and responsiveness to the ongoing needs of our clients.
Individual and collective performance is an essential condition for ensuring our long-term growth and development.
All our employees share the same motto: to place their expertise and skills at the service of the Group’s projects and the needs of our clients.
TEAM SPIRIT
Team spirit and solidarity are essential factors in the company’s success. This culture encourages commitment to shared projects and facilitates collective decision-making.
Building a fairer society is part of Paprec’s DNA. The Group contributes to creating strong social bonds both within and beyond its own organisation.
Firmly committed to diversity, secularism and the fight against all forms of discrimination, the Group is a major player in the social economy.
