By means of social and environmental responsibility (SER) policies, companies are said to be at the origin of new practices that make it possible to produce both a \u00abcorporate citizen\u00bb and a \u00abcorporate citizen\u00bb in tune with the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decathlon, the French sports retail giant, is the embodiment of this entrepreneurial model. With a presence in 70 countries and over 100,000 employees worldwide, Decathlon is committed to the well-being of its employees and to its involvement in all the territories where it operates.
