The Baclesse Center has been awarded the Pro-Bike Employer Label – Gold level, with a score of 85.2%, the highest distinction awarded by the FUB (French Federation of Bicycle Users) with the support of theADEME.
This recognition is a tribute to more than ten years of continuous efforts to promote cycling within the institution. The Center's official commitment to the certification process in 2022 has helped to structure, strengthen, and promote a cycling culture that is already firmly established among professionals.
Collective recognition
Obtaining this label is the result of collaborative work and the involvement of many internal stakeholders. It was made possible thanks to the joint efforts of Human Resources, Technical Services, Communications, Purchasing and Hospitality Services, the Cycling Advisor, and the support of the Center's management.
“This award recognizes the collective efforts of all our teams and confirms that promoting cycling makes a tangible contribution to the well-being and quality of life at work of our professionals,” emphasizes Michael CANOVAS, Deputy Director General of the Baclesse Center.
