The entire staff is united by clear and shared corporate values, which have always been at the center of the AQLE corporate project and make up its state of mind.

> RESPECT
> TRUST
> HELP
> COMMUNICATION

AQLE is very attached to its role as a modern company, concerned with always promoting the skills, valorization, fulfillment and development of its employees.

So, who says AQLE says TRAINING: there is no shortage of training proposals and they are at the center of our HR policy.

For the 2018-2019 period, we have dedicated more than 7500 hours of training, for an average annual budget higher than 100k€ euros.

Example 2019:

5000 hours of training in 2019
> 1800 for AQLE employees
> 3000 for apprentices

Focus on the process of recruitment and integration of 6 employees in permanent contracts :

> 100 candidates received for a collective information
> 80 candidates from selection tests
> 20 candidates selected for a motivation interview
> Integration of 6 apprentices at AQLE, all destined to a CDI

Each apprentice candidate benefits from the greatest attention, with the mobilization of the teams for a good integration :

> 1 welcome tutor
> 1 trade companion
> 1 12-month training plan

In 2019, during the annual graduation ceremony of PROMEO (AFPI Picarde), our AQLE methods manager was awarded the trophy for the best Apprentice Master.

We intend to contribute to economic, social and territorial development through direct initiatives or support for local initiatives.

Examples:

> visits and ongoing relationships with surrounding schools; pedagogy of the trades AQLE
> contribution to vocational training. The AQLE technical director taught at the AFPA in Villers-Saint-Paul
> relaying local citizen initiatives, such as participation in the Rally Raid initiated by the Saint-Just-en Chaussée town hall, or involvement in the Festival des Forêts, a regional cultural patronage initiative

Our electronic activity raises the question of its environmental footprint:

> electronic components contain rare polluting materials, such as lithium or manganese

> the reality of the market sometimes generates the obligation to buy these components in volumes far in excess of the given needs

> the impact: the storage of large volumes, and then, ultimately, the destruction of these excess stocks, since it is very rare that they can be revalued.

The question we are therefore asked as a link in the chain: how can we act in favor of the environment; how can we reduce the environmental impacts of our electronic activity?

> at a minimum, accurately apply selective sorting of recyclable waste
throughout the industrial activity

> minimize "dead stock" : valorize surplus components, avoid their destruction

> try to mutualize supplies between actors holding stored surpluses of these electronic components

TICIO, the unifying project carried by the SNESE

Initiated by the SNESE, the TICIO project consists of a digital platform that exposes all the inventories of immobilized components at the various actors.
The aim is to make it a new mode of trade to:
> enhance the value of stocks immobilized here or there
> thus minimizing productions
Reduce, reuse and recycle: AQLE is a stakeholder in this beautiful project of circular economy, which combines economic and environmental concerns.

Investment in people has always been an AQLE marker, starting with the working conditions themselves.

AQLE's wellness group is dynamic. The resulting projects are concrete and generate links, both internally and externally.

Three examples for the year 2020.

> Rallye Raid organized by the town hall of Saint-Just-en-Chaussée. 6 employees are preparing to defend the AQLE colors for these 48 hours of sporting events

> International Soldering Competition (organized by IPC and IFTEC, in partnership with SNESE). For the last edition, Jonathan and Benjamin shared the podium! As much to say that our AQLE 2020 champions have the pressure: it will be necessary to win!

> The AQLE shared garden
Or how to develop 2500 m2 of wasteland located behind the AQLE workshop?
