Our commitments

Joining Elis means becoming part of a group with more than 75-years of commitment to circular services, with a DNA and business culture that sets it apart. Want to hear more?

• Multinational, but never distant

  Yes, we have operations all across the world, but no – that doesn't mean we're strangers to one another. Fostering a climate of trust, kindness, support, respect and solidarity is crucial to us. With over 500 employees at our head office and workforces ranging from 100 - 300 employees in each facility, we continue to operate on a human scale, and to ensure every team plays a part in the group's major projects.

• We believe in the circular economy – how about you?

  At Elis, we're taking more action than ever to reduce our impact on the planet. As a committed company and a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, we're mindful of the need for continuous improvement in energy performance and equality. In the field, we prefer services to products, rental to purchasing, and we are actively developing eco-designed solutions. But that's not all: our Code of Ethics reflects our commitments, and our Foundation upholds the values of respect, promoting education and occupational integration.

• Around here, safety is something we don't take lightly

  What's our approach to safety? The Elis approach is based on the active participation of every employee and manager. In order to pursue our "zero accidents" objective, we've established 10 Golden Safety Rules. The goal? To develop a culture that fosters the adoption of good habits and contributes to creating a safe working environment. In practical terms, this means raising awareness of the risk of fire or physical accidents, improving workstation ergonomics and hygiene protocols, and anticipating the specific risks inherent to each job type.

• Entrepreneurial spirit

  At Elis, we love to see people taking initiative, making suggestions and getting things done. In order to encourage this entrepreneurial spirit, we trust each other. We don't hesitate to give responsibility on to young managers – for example, by trusting them to run profit centres. And in return for this commitment, we like to ensure our employees are rewarded! Profit-sharing schemes are available to give teams a stake in the company's performance.

• For more of a challenge, head this way

  Elis is a group that believes you're never too old to evolve, to push your limits and learn new skills. We value individual performance, skills development and internal mobility. Whether it's about moving up to management or changing jobs altogether: anything is possible when you have motivation and potential on your side. This starts early with our interns, apprentices and international internship participants, whose growth we foster within the group.

• Here, training is an continuous process

  A top priority for Elis? The quality of internal training. New programs are regularly created in order to address the group's needs. One of the most recent of these, the Sales training path at the Elis Academy, trains sales agents using innovative methods and educational games, enabling them to learn in a way that's more collaborative, efficient and fun.

• Finding solutions together

  Working conditions, hours, safety, career development, etc.: we're on hand in the field to listen to what our teams have to say. It is through exchanging, and by getting everyone fully involved in building solutions, that we are able to grow the company together. And there's proof that our employees appreciate this approach: in 2023, 76% of them reported job satisfaction at Elis – and we have no intention of stopping there!

• Diversity is in our DNA

  Respect for others, exemplary conduct, integrity and responsibility: these values have sustained us from the outset, guiding our actions and inspiring our choices. That's why we're committed to using every available resource to deliver a policy of diversity, equality and inclusion that prevents discrimination in all its forms. Among other means, this is achieved through equality of opportunity and of treatment, and by offering a workplace that is adapted to the needs of each and every individual.
