RACER is B certified

Solidarity, social 
and environmental program

Certified B Corporation

The story began about 18 months ago with the desire to validate a company ethic, but above all to be in line with our actions and our policy, our social, societal and environmental objectives.

We have always devoted our energy to creating products that allow people to practice their activities with a free mind and an agile body, while always being respectful of people and the environment. We want to go further and further to be in accordance with our raison d'être:

"Protecting people and reassuring minds"

We worked hard with our partners and teams to make sure we were right, and our efforts were rewarded! This is not an end in itself, but an encouragement to stay the course and always do better. To continue to work at our level to preserve the world around us.

The choice of BCORP is the choice of a label that corresponds to us!

GLOBAL COMPACT

At RACER, we want to contribute to a better world by acting to advance the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals set by 193 countries in the United Nations. By acting on people and nature, RACER is a member of the United Nations Global Compact.

We are a company with unique expertise that makes the sustainability of our products and actions really important. The improvement of our environmental and societal footprint is therefore at the heart of our business model strategy.

ECO-DESIGN

This is the major challenge for RACER. For the benefit of our customers and their environment, we have decided to consider environmental issues when designing our products. We know we still have a lot of things to do and we are ready for the challenge!

Responsible materials

We use raw materials from more responsible supply sources, maintaining the quality of our products at the same time.

Repair

Good news: our products are all repairable and we offer repair services tailored to them!

Plastic limit

We are committed to eliminating single-use plastics in our value chain

Recycling

We are working to set up recycling channels for our products. The R&D teams are doing everything they can to recycle our raw materials.

Materials

For our teams, one of the major challenges was to find leather that respected our ethics. Leather is considered a high quality natural product and a long-lasting material for gloves. We have therefore chosen to use leather as an exterior material..

But not just any leather because RACER leather is:

- Guarantee of no animal violence
- Guaranteed not to be farmed intensively
- Does not come from endangered animal species
- A fair remuneration for workers and producers
- A reduction of the impact of tanning and treatments. Tanning is a production step that makes the leather resistant. The problem is that some of the waste and waste water ends up in the surrounding rivers, polluting the soil and water. Therefore, we have chosen to work with more ethical tanneries, certified ISO 14 001, EMAS or Leather Working.
- 0 toxic waste

Social and environmental impact

Very much aware of the challenges ahead and the need to commit to designing a more inclusive and sustainable world of tomorrow, we have launched “Le cœur sur la main”, a new social and environmental solidarity programme. It is a philanthropic fund intended to support associations in favour of the environment, for medical research or doing sport for example.

LE CŒUR SUR LA MAIN

1€ is paid to the Fifty Fifty association per THE PACKER bag sold.

Fifty Fifty is an association whose aim is to act for women and children who are victims of violence, rehabilitating through sport.

Internal culture

Welfare at work

Within RACER, we want every employee to be able to flourish professionally. Everyone’s welfare is an integral part of our corporate culture based on progress and performance. This is why each employee has a great deal of autonomy and responsibility. In addition, everyone is free to choose their projects and missions in order to develop new skills and always create new career opportunities. The watchword at RACER: caring.

Quality of life at work

In addition, our employees are interviewed each year in order to stay abreast of what is happening in all the trades in terms of their commitment through the eNPS indicator. Highly motivated employees are: dynamic work, better productivity and creative and innovative ideas!

An inclusive company

We value diversity in our teams (age, gender, nationality, etc.).
