Our CSR Engagements

Since its creation, the Sirail Group has been a responsible company, responsibility being one of the Group’s values. As such, and even without having yet formalized a policy, Sirail was already acting in favour of the environment, the communities in which Sirail is located, and its employees.

Today, we want our actions to be part of a deliberate approach following an ambitious trajectory.

To animate and bring our commitments to life, we are pleased to announce that we have created the position of CSR Manager.

Let's talk about your project
Our CSR approach aims to organise and formalise the actions already underway across all our sites. These initiatives are already making a tangible contribution to our commitment to sustainable development. Our ambition is to build on this momentum, strengthen these initiatives and measure their impact to set out a realistic yet ambitious roadmap for reducing our environmental footprint.

Our CSR pillars

Reducing our environmental footprint​

Conserving our resources​

Having a positive impact​

Being responsible​

Being inspiring

Let's talk about your project

Reduce our environmental footprint

If we already have some good ideas on the big contributors to our environmental footprint, we do need to better understand what levers are available to us to reduce it. It is with this idea that we have defined the following actions:

Sensitise all our employees to the environmental challenges we face

Measure our environmental footprint

Reduce the environmental footprint of our Supply Chain

Put in place a Mobility plan for our employees

Being responsible

Sirail, it’s over 1000 employees spread around our different sites in Europe and North Africa. Since its creation, Sirail is commited to ensure: ​

Ethical professional practices

The safety for all our employees

Our compliance with the law

Preserve our resources

Like all industrial actors, Sirail uses raw materials that we source and process. To help preserve the planet’s resources, Sirail has taken concrete steps:

Incorporate eco-design practices into our products

Implement a responsible procurement policy

Reduce the amount of waste generated at our sites

Having a positive impact

As part of our local communities around our industrial sites, we wish to contribute positively by:

Ensuring equality of opportunity

Acting specifically for our local communities

Contributing to the well-being of our employees

Being inspiring

Sirail’s CSR approach can only become a tangible reality if the company’s commitment is shared by all its employees. To inspire its employees to get fully involved, Sirail strives to ensure that its values of mutual respect, reliability, responsibility, team spirit and proactivity are not just ‘empty’ words, but guide day-to-day decisions at every level of the organisation.

Why integrate CSR in our industrial practices

For Sirail, adopting a CSR approach means taking responsibility for the environmental and social impact of our activities. To demonstrate this strong commitment at Sirail, our management leads by example:

Elisabeth Montevil

Vice-President Sales & Marketing

Our CSR approach is proactive and sincere! These Sirail values are fully reflected in our relationships with our customers and partners. These commitments translate into concrete proposals during our interactions with our partners and customers, so that we always highlight solutions that combine sustainability and efficiency!

Marielle

Group Human Ressources Director

As we are a labour-intensive industry, integrating CSR enhances our performance and our appeal. Our greatest asset is the men and women who bring Sirail to life. At Sirail, we have set in motion a positive dynamic to strengthen our corporate culture, with a focus on innovation, continuous learning and the joy of working together. Our CSR approach is built on the implementation of concrete actions, particularly regarding quality of life at work, inclusion and community engagement...

Jérôme

Sirail Services Division Director

Give a seconde life to trains and support green mobility, it's ou job also our commitment At Sirail Services, we firmly believe that sustainable mobility begins with making the most of what we already have. Every retrofit or maintenance operation we carry out means a train stays in service for longer, resources are conserved, and the carbon footprint is reduced. In a rail sector undergoing major transformation, our expertise is dedicated to a simple aim: to ensure that what has been built lasts, rather than rebuilding everything from scratch. This is at the heart of our approach — and a tangible contribution to a more responsible industry.

Antoine

Vice-President Operations

Sirail’s industrial model is built on the complementary expertise and human resources of its operations across 5 countries. As a values-driven company, Sirail places the well-being of its employees at the heart of its business model, with a constant commitment to caring for both its people and their working, social, and environmental surroundings.

A CSR strategy which is implemented locally

To drive our initiative across all sites, Sirail has appointed local CSR officers to coordinate activities on each site:

Sabrina

To me, CSR is about adopting responsible practices that benefit both our company and society as a whole. The goal is also to ensure that these practices become an integral part of the way we live and work, so that they are seen as a natural part of our daily routines rather than as an additional workload.

To me, CSR is above all about applying common sense in our day-to-day operations. It is primarily about taking practical, hands-on actions to improve the way we work without making things more complicated. Our goal is to reduce our environmental, social, and economic impacts while remaining fully aligned with the realities of our industrial business.

Christophe

Sofiya

Project Manager - Germany

In my view, CSR is about businesses adapting to the modern world. A world where work has to have meaning, a world where global and societal challenges must be aligned with business development and growth. CSR therefore enables environmental, social and economic issues to be structured around clear objectives. This approach is based on the inclusion of all stakeholders and on the definition of measurable and sustainable initiatives. My role as local CSR officer includes implementing Sirail Group’s CSR objectives and values, while accounting for the local challenges faced by Sirail Germany!

In my view, CSR represents the human and responsible dimension of my HSE role. Beyond regulatory requirements, it aims to protect people, enhance safety, and reduce our impact on the environment. Every action matters: preventing risks, adopting sustainable practices, or raising awareness among colleagues all contribute to creating a safer and more respectful workplace. Being the CSR representative means supporting this approach on a daily basis and demonstrating that safety and responsibility go hand in hand.

In a few words

Our CSR journey begins with humility, at our own scale. Convinced that sustainable transformation cannot be achieved alone, we place collaboration at the heart of our commitment. Customers, suppliers, service providers, and partners can become, alongside us, key contributors and true drivers of change. Every action matters; every collaboration and every synergy represents an opportunity to move forward together towards a more comprehensive approach to sustainable development.

Because while we may go faster alone, we can go further together.
