AIR coop | Commitment 2016

Have fun

Be happy to get up every morning.

ORGANIZED HOME OFFICE

More personal time, employees empowerment, less transportation…

LET MY PEOPLE GO...

Adapting working time depending on weather conditions : a qualitative rather than quantitative work objective.

FRESH AIR

Sports and cultural collective time taken on work hours.

WORKPLACE

Developing the office as a true living space.

Bring together once every year our stakeholders around a festive and pleasant moment.

Each year, at the beginning of the summer time, we gather all our partners, clients and friends next to the lake around a good barbecue and some drinks to share a relaxing moment and chat out of the daily projects. This is the best for practicing Stand Up Paddle on the lake, share a beer with our accounting or talk about clothes with the textile product manager of an outdoor brand !

FULFILLMENT ON A DAILY BASIS

Looking for inspiring projects.

Do Good

Contribute to a better world.

BUSINESS IS A FORCE FOR GOOD

AIR is B CORP certified since 2015.

B Corps are for-profit companies certified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Today, there is a growing community of more than 1,600 Certified B Corps from 42 countries and over 120 industries working together toward 1 unifying goal: to redefine success in business. At AIR, beyond the fact that being B Corp Certified is a proof our commitment to use our company as a force for good, we wanted to join a global movement that redefines success in business. A growing movement that use the power of markets to solve social and environmental problems. Join us !

ENERCOOP

100% renewable energies at the office.

1% EXPERTISE

Each team member is asked to donate 1% of his working time to an association of his choice.

ORGANIC AND LOCAL IS IDEAL

The origin and quality of products is a key selection criteria – as important as the price.

ACCESSIBILITY

The office is within 5-minutes walk from the train station, and 3 bikes are available for local travels.

EDUCATION

Lectures at universities/ schools and supervising students.

1% FOR THE PLANET

Since the beginning, AIR gives 1% of its annual turnover to a partner association.

Since the creation of the agency, AIR has been a proud member of the 1% For The Planet club, a simple, tangible and proactive way to be a part of the solution. 1% For the Planet is a global movement of more than 1200 companies who give 1% of their annual turnover to more than 3300 non profit environmental organizations.
«The Earth Tax – It’s not charity, it’s the cost of doing business». Y. Chouinard
Between 2014 and 2016, AIR has been supporting the association En Passant Par la Montagne (Passy). From 2010 to 2013, AIR supported through the 1% of its turnover the association ASTERS (preservation of the natural protected areas in Haut-Savoie).

Be Creative

Think outside the box to innovate.

OPEN BOOK

Access to a shared library.

INCUBATOR

Use AIR projects as a personal development tool.

COWORKING // ROYALE COLOC

Developing the concept of an open and cosy workplace with other companies sharing our values.

SHARED LOCKER

Creating a shared locker to share the products we are offered or that one has little use of individually.

"BEHIND THE DOOR" MEETINGS

Internal workshops, in the Great Outdoors, to build a common vision.

Because it is important to go out of the frame to watch the world with a new look. Because we need to find places that inspire us and challenge us. And simply because we terribly like these playgrounds that get us closer to each other, we favour these meetings “behind the door”, elsewhere, outside. We are “Outsiders” – let’s live as outsiders !

1% TRAINING

1% of turnover per team member is dedicated to ongoing training + first aid training.

Go further

We are not perfect and here is our areas of improvement we are working on :

Creation and management of a council of elders. We wish, in fact, to benefit from the wisdom and experience of our relations to better guide the choices of our company. This council will be composed of independent people and with no financial interest in AIR.
Publication of an annual report. The purpose of such a document is to share the achievements of the agency, successes and mistakes, whether economic, environmental, social or cultural. At AIR, we prefer action to writing, but sometimes it is important to take time to formalize things, especially when they are beautiful.
Assessment of our socioeconomic footprint thanks to the Local Footprint tool developed by UTOPIES : we are now able to assess the economic impact of our business. Thus, beyond the simple classical economic indicators (revenue, profits, etc.), we can see the contribution of our company to our ecosystem and stakeholders around us.

Have fun
