PRESS RELEASE
Paris – June 26, 2019
CHARGEURS IS RECOGNIZED FOR ITS SUSTAINABLE CREATIVITY
"This award from the Club de Paris des Directeurs de l'Innovation comes in recognition of the industrial excellence demonstrated by Chargeurs for close to 150 years and its ability, thanks to the Game Changer plan launched in 2017, to constantly reinvent itself and stay ahead of the curve thanks to its unique innovation. It acknowledges the Group's success and commitment to sustainable growth for its global ecosystem", said Michaël Fribourg, Chairman and CEO.
Held on June 18, 2019 at the Maison des Océans de l'Institut Océanographique in Paris, this year's 12th meeting of Innovation Directors - Rencontre Nationale des Directeurs de l'Innovation - organized by the Club de Paris des Directeurs de l'Innovation and the European Institute for Creative Strategies and Innovation, celebrated some of the best 2030 innovation and renewal strategies in the name of human development.
Represented by Secretary General Joëlle Fabre-Hoffmeister, Chargeurs was awarded the Hermès de l'Innovation prize for excellence in the "Best creative synthesis" category, for its value creation through the development of products and services that improve the lives of individuals and Society as a whole.
A reflection of its unique DNA, Chargeurs' most recent and iconic creations include its eco-responsible label, Organica Precious Fiber, the world's first label for certified and traceable premium-grade fibers that guarantees respect for animal welfare and a commitment to all stakeholders in the value chain. Since its founding in 1872, Chargeurs has pursued the same tradition of excellence that fueled the industrial revolution of the 19th and 20th centuries, and the same drive for innovation currently shaping the 21st century. Drawing on a global presence and strength in its cultural diversity, Chargeurs is able to keep pace with transformation with a strategy that is based on high value-added iconic brands in each of its four businesses.
