CSR
THOM, a responsible company, is committed to a range of issues: social, economic and environmental
The Group has been committed to developing its corporate social responsibility for many years and decided to launch the WeTHOM plan in 2021, bringing together all of the CSR initiatives into one single ambitious approach.
Promoting our employees’ development throughout their career
“Our Training policy is based on a firm belief: our employees are key to our success”.
THOM ensures all their employees working in the stores, head offices and logistics departments can benefit from training programs and constant support to enable them to fulfil their potential, from the time of their recruitment onward and throughout their career. This kind of support promotes the employees’ operational excellence, which is part of THOM’s DNA.
Among THOM, internal mobility and promotion offer a full range of opportunities.
Internal mobility is limitless at THOM. Our CEO, Romain Peninque, began his career within the Group…working in a store. Everything has been put in place to allow anyone to progress in their career or change jobs.
The Group has mapped all its jobs, career paths and opportunities for mobility. Every year, around 15% of THOM’s employees benefit from functional mobility within the Group. All positions are concerned.

Guaranteeing a responsible supply chain
Since 2019, THOM has adopted a policy of ensuring that all of its suppliers are certified.
Our suppliers are audited before we start working with them by independent and recognized auditors (Bureau Veritas, QIMA). These bodies evaluate all of our suppliers at least once every two years. In addition, THOM teams are free to audit suppliers themselves on a regular basis and without prior warning.

Our governance charter
Our governance charter signed by all the managers of the Group sets out the rules on spending, transparency, equity and loyalty in relations with third parties, knowledge of current procedures and regulations in force, awareness of social and environmental stakes.
A Group procedural note signed by all managers (and automatically thereafter upon the arrival of new managers) which gives them full knowledge of the rules implied by their status and the engagement and validation thresholds. A specific statement is included for the Chinese wall versus Thom Trade.
In line with our CSR approach, THOM supported social organisations and the international network AD schools.
