Exalto Professionnel :
Towards a better world
Aware of the environmental, economic and social impacts of our activities, and convinced that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a collective responsibility, we are determined to contribute to a fairer, more responsible and sustainable world.
Our commitment to CSR is demonstrated by the implementation of concrete actions based on 4 fundamental pillars.
ACTING AS A RESPONSIBLE EMPLOYER
At Exalto Professionnel, acting as a responsible employer is an ethical choice, and we are convinced that it helps to motivate and retain our employees by creating a positive and productive working environment.

progressivity
We provide our employees with a safe and healthy working environment that respects human rights.
We also implement all appropriate safety measures to minimize and eliminate workplace hazards.
We are committed to facilitating the professional integration of older employees, who all too often find it difficult to find a job.
What's more, work-study programs, which have been in constant evolution for several years, are also a strong means of integrating new talent and giving young people the opportunity to develop their skills.
Since 2022, we have recruited 4 work-study positions within our company.
We are committed to providing our employees with rewarding working conditions that encourage their commitment and motivation.
To achieve this, we offer them training to help them develop professionally and progress in their careers.
Working with responsible suppliers
At Exalto Professionnel, we are committed to working with responsible suppliers who share our values and comply with current environmental, social and ethical standards.
A rigorous assessment process
We have put in place a rigorous process for selecting and evaluating our suppliers, using evaluation questionnaires and on-site audits to ensure that they comply with current environmental, social and ethical regulations and standards.
We also make every effort to maintain open and transparent communication with our suppliers, in order to establish a relationship of trust and ensure their commitment to our evaluation criteria.
We are committed to minimizing the use of chemical substances hazardous to the environment and human health in our products.
All our mannequin heads produced by our suppliers do not contain any substance of very high concern at a concentration exceeding 0.1 percentage by mass, in accordance with REACH regulation no. 1907/2006.
ACTING TO PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENT
At Exalto Professionnel, we are committed to a policy of sustainable development aimed at minimizing our ecological footprint. To achieve this, we pay particular attention to the use of eco-responsible packaging and the recycling of our products at the end of their life span.
THE AMBITION OF A YOUNG, DYNAMIC COMPANY
For 10 years now, we've been distributing our mannequin heads all over the world, including the United States, Mexico, Italy and Germany.
4 years ago, we were struck by the fact that the 90,000 heads we sell around the world are also 90,000 products thrown away in the bin creating tonnes of plastic wasted.
Many of you have come to the same conclusion and have shared your concerners with us.
So we worked hard to find a solution to minimize our environmental impact. Hundreds of hours of discussions, research and visits to organisations specialising in waste recovery led us down the path of recycling. A unique process was then devised at Exalto to recycle its products locally and ethically.
Today, we are proud to be the forerunners of this brand new circular economy process, a small step towards the world of tomorrow.
A UNIQUE AND INNOVATIVE RECYCLING PROCESS
After two long years of research, we finally found a solution for recycling our mannequin heads with local organisations.
The ABS base is melted down to be reused in the manufacturing of new products.
The foam inside, which gives the head its hard appearance, is made of PU and is used to heat our cities.
The flexible plastic mask will have a second life and will be used to make watering hoses.
Finally, the hair is donated to the Capillum association. They will contribute to cleaner agriculture, the preservation of oceans and medical research aimed at better treating burn victims.
We were keen to work in partnership with ESATs, establishments and services providing assistance through work, where people with disabilities work.
We have met some extraordinary people in the process.
At Exalto, we are driven by the desire to do better and better, whether to develop new products, constantly improve our quality or create more responsible products for a greener world.
For several years now, we have been using only biodegradable nylon bags for the unit packaging of our mannequin heads.
acting locally with our stakeholders
At Exalto Professionnel, we recognize that CSR is an ongoing process. We are committed to CSR in all our activities, and to continuously improving our practices to meet current and future environmental, social and economic challenges.
We are committed to promoting eco-gestures among our teams in order to minimize our environmental impact.
To this end, we have set up initiatives to raise awareness of environmental issues among our employees.
We have also set up a selective waste sorting process on our premises, and have taken steps to reduce our water consumption.
We are committed to active involvement in the local community. To this end, we have created a partnership for the recycling of our waste with an establishment and work assistance service (Esat).
We are convinced that this initiative will promote the circular economy and contribute to the professional integration of disabled people.
