Aptilink has been developing a range of CSR policies for several years.
Aptilink was awarded the gold medal, placing the company in the top 5% of companies assessed in the EcoVadis database over the last 12 months. The EcoVadis score (from 0 to 100) reflects the quality of a company’s CSR management system at the time of assessment. EcoVadis medals reward eligible companies that have completed their EcoVadis assessment and whose management system is robust enough to cover the CSR criteria set out in the EcoVadis methodology.
Environmental policy
Energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
Since it was founded in 2012, Aptilink has chosen to operate fully remotely. That way of working drastically reduces the energy consumption tied to office space and the greenhouse gas emissions generated by commuting.
In 2024 Aptilink’s carbon footprint was 1.5 tCO2e per employee.
Waste management
Aptilink works to reduce its environmental impact by recycling electronic equipment at end of life.
Sustainable product design
Designing our elearning modules sustainably is part of our values and of our daily objectives, with attention paid to data storage in data centres, to the devices content is delivered on (smartphones, computers and so on) and to the networks used (wired, fibre, 5G).
We are committed to raising awareness of these sustainable design practices across our whole ecosystem — clients, suppliers, partners and others — through our communications and our commercial proposals.
Social and human rights policy
Working conditions
Since it was founded in 2012, Aptilink has chosen to operate fully remotely. That choice serves a double objective: performance for the company and a better quality of life for employees, through a healthier balance between work and personal life, not least by cutting the time and fatigue of commuting. Aptilink stresses that responsibility, autonomy and mutual trust between employee and manager are essential to making this way of working succeed.
Health & safety
Aptilink works to maintain a high standard of employee health and safety, paying attention to mental health (working well together fully remotely, managing stress and so on) and to physical health (posture at the workstation and the like).
Aptilink covers 100% of the cost of its employees’ health insurance.
Skills development
Aptilink continuously trains and develops its employees’ skills so that they can grow in their work and their careers. On top of conventional training days, every employee has a time allowance of 6 days a year dedicated to keeping up to date and to innovation (self-study, webinars, workshops, trade shows, conferences and so on).
Diversity, equality and inclusion
Aptilink is committed to non-discriminatory practice in its recruitment and in the management of its employees’ careers. Aptilink’s workforce, unusually for the digital sector, is largely female. Its executive committee has equal gender representation.
Digital accessibility of our products
As a digital learning agency we have a duty to consider how accessible the elearning we produce is. We apply good practice by default in language, structure, design and format. We are committed to building on our experience so that our work is accessible across a wide range of disabilities.
Since 2021 Aptilink has been a member and supporter of theAssociation for the Consideration of Disability in Public and Private Policy (APHPP) which works to place disability at the heart of political and economic debate.
Aptilink has appointed three digital accessibility leads whose remit is to ensure that the company’s methods and tools meet accessibility criteria.
Ethics policy
Corruption and anti-competitive practice
Aptilink strives to conduct all its business honestly and ethically. Aptilink takes a zero-tolerance approach to corruption and is committed to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in every transaction and business relationship.
Our employees receive regular training on these matters.
Information security
Aptilink is responsible for the security of the information it collects, processes and stores about its employees, its clients and its partners. Aptilink implements every appropriate technical and organisational measure according to the nature of the data and the associated risks.
