Member of the B-Corp community
As a B-Corp, Laudescher is part of a worldwide collective of companies committed to an economy that benefits people and the living world, and is not solely oriented towards financial profit. The aim is to participate in an ecological and social transition that will bring about a profound transformation of our business models. To achieve this, each company meets demanding standards in 5 areas of impact:
Governance
Since 2021, Laudescher has become a "for purpose" organisation. We have integrated our raison d'être and our 3 CSR objectives into our company bylaws.
Governance assesses a company’s overall mission, its commitment to social/environmental impact, ethics and transparency. It also assesses a company’s ability to protect its mission and formally take stakeholders into account in decision-making.
Employees
Laudescher is fully committed to the well-being of its employees. In fact, it is our primary statutory objective. Promoting professional development through training, respecting work/life balance, offering a pleasant working environment, sharing value... these are all values anchored in Laudescher's human resources policy.
Workers evaluates a company’s contributions to financial security, health & safety, well-being, career development and employee engagement & satisfaction.
The environment
For many years, Laudescher has been committed to limiting its environmental impact, in particular by respecting wood resources. Our timber comes from sustainably managed forests (FSC® and PEFC®). Our products are Cradle to Cradle® Bronze certified, contributing to the environmental performance of the buildings they clad.
The environment section evaluates a company’s overall environmental management practices, as well as its impact on air, climate, water, land and biodiversity.
Community
Contributing to the dynamism and life of the local community is a key priority for Laudescher, and we favor relationships with local suppliers. Ethics and transparency are also at the heart of our sourcing strategy.
Community assesses a company’s commitment to and impact on the communities in which it operates, hires and sources. Topics include diversity, equity & inclusion, economic impact, civic engagement, charitable giving and supply chain management.

Customers evaluate a company’s customer relationship management through the quality of its products and services, ethical marketing, data confidentiality and security, and feedback channels.

Mission-driven company
Committed to making a positive impact
For many years now, Laudescher has been improving its environmental performance by preserving resources and limiting its carbon footprint, as well as its social performance.
A change of perspective
In line with its commitment to the common good and its strategic policy, Laudescher became a mission-driven company at the end of 2021. In this way, the company has transposed its convictions into its articles of association, incorporating its raison d’être.
To make this process tangible and to guide future actions, the company has set 3 objectives that go hand in hand with its raison d’être.
Our raison d'être
