Groupe Huit is guided by the objectives set by Keran as a Benefit corporation:
Contributing to the decarbonisation of cities and regions, to improve biodiversity and to protect natural resources
Actively supporting social and environmental causes
Involving employees in defining strategy and governance, and collectively supporting our desire for independence
Putting people at the heart of the company and developing the right conditions for a meaningful and healthy work environment
Operationalisation of sustainable development goals
Inclusiveness Inclusive cities are conceived as a public good and effectively address poverty and exclusion so that their populations can benefit of equal access to public services, facilities and opportunities offered by the city. Inclusive cities promote solidarity and equality and allow citizens to be fully involved in their management, regardless of their social status, financial means, gender, religion or ethnicity.
Competitiveness
Competitive cities innovate to foster sustainable economic development, strong attractiveness and better quality of life. They promote research and innovation in cutting edge industries. Their adaptability means that they offer fresh development potential and can become fully integrated cities.
Resilience
Urban resilience is regarded as the capacity of a city to experience disruption and then subsequently recover its functions. To achieve resilience, the assessment of urban vulnerability at all levels of the urban organisation is a fundamental step.
