IMPACT CIRCLE 2024
People.
A TEAM COMMITTED TO A COMMON MISSION
What do we all have in common?
The commitment, the will, the determination to have a concrete impact in the sports industry, to invent a new model, and the desire and requirement to create the best running products, for all conditions, for all distances. But also, the passion for running, surpassing oneself, the joy of running and pushing our limits together!
IMPACT CIRCLE 2024
OUR CORPORATE CULTURE
COLLECTIVE
Circle is a collective of enthusiasts, an ecosystem of experts who share the desire to surpass themselves to innovate even more. The collective is the Circle team, our partners, our ambassadors and athletes. It is together that we test the performance and technicality of each product and it is together that we succeed in finding solutions to get around the obstacles.
WELL-BEING
Circle offers its employees a flexible work environment, designed to support both performance and personal well-being.
We firmly believe that the success of the company depends on the fulfillment of its teams, and we make it a priority to provide them with a positive and stimulating environment.
Today, we operate from 1 Rue de Marseille, in Paris’ 10th district, within a creative and committed space dedicated to sustainable fashion.
Running is either a shared passion or a budding interest for every Circle employee.
We strive to promote well-being and sports, regularly organizing race weekends to live out our shared passion and connect with our community.
TRANSPARENCY
We apply the same transparency with our clients as internally on the evolution of our projects. With our customers, we share our developments and future projects and share all manufacturing information to allow everyone to understand the number of stakeholders to develop and manufacture our products. Internally, we ensure that we adopt a management and internal communication method that is as transparent as possible. We do not have a traditional view of hierarchy and all voices are heard when it comes to making a key decision. Information must flow freely to enable the team to function properly and ensure fluid communication.
MOVEMENT
At Circle, sports practice is at the heart of our values. We offer and encourage each employee to practice and attend running classes accessible free of charge every week in our premises as well as advantageous rates to register for numerous sports classes in Paris.
EXCELLENCE
Because our values are strong and our environmental and social objectives ambitious, we are continually seeking excellence. We ensure that we always guide our choices in order to honor our commitments, in terms of quality, material sourcing and even strategy. We encourage all members of the Circle team to question their habits and to continually question processes that are anchored in their way of operating. We are convinced that it is always possible to do better and want to encourage them to demonstrate adaptability, creativity and anticipation when faced with the innovations and ideas that present themselves to them.
A NEW ERA FOR STRONG AND INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIPS.
OUR PARTNERS
It is crucial that as pioneers, we continue to find innovative business models... as this would mark the start of a new era for strong and innovative partnerships.
FAIR AND RESPECTFUL RELATIONS, COMMON INNOVATIONS
Because they are the guarantors of the sustainability of our approach, we decide to surround ourselves with partners who share the same vision of ethics and development as us. For our part, we are committed to remunerating our partners at the right price, that is to say the price which allows employees to earn a decent living, which ensures the sustainability of the company and which guarantees a fair redistribution of capital. This price must correspond to the level of quality that we demand and it must allow partners to develop over the long term with us.
We require our partners to comply with our Code of Ethics. The latter takes up the main principles of workers' rights and is based on fundamental European laws. Furthermore, our strong attention to the traceability of our products requires us to know all of our partners well. We meet our manufacturing partners to find out directly about the working conditions. In addition, as our partners are located in Europe, they must all respect European fundamental rights. This is particularly why we want to keep our partners close to us so that they are governed by these laws. Finally, Circle teams must respect the integrity of partners and communicate with them with respect and kindness.
TRANSPARENCY AND TRUST
We have developed with all our partners a method of communication based on honesty and transparency. We take an equal stance and reason with them as extensions of the brand. We always keep them informed of important progress at Circle: new recruitments, fundraising, important decision-making choices and developments in our CSR policy. In return, we expect our partners to also be transparent and to communicate to us all important information that could have an impact on us.
Some of them have been with us since the beginning and are at the heart of our ecosystem. We have developed great trust in our partners, and are convinced that collaborating with them will have a positive impact for all stakeholders.
EXCELLENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY
We expect our partners to be driven by the same values as us and thus wish to create a true ecosystem of committed partners. We wish to collaborate with partners concerned about the environment, sustainability and the after-life of the industrial process, focused on an industry of the future and innovative in their eco-responsible approach. We encourage them to share all their innovation and sustainability projects so that we are aware of their progress and can take advantage of it to evolve with them in a truly sustainable approach.
