CGEM Launches the “Responsible SME” Label: A New Milestone for Sustainable Entrepreneurship in Morocco

Continuing its commitment to a more inclusive and sustainable economy, the CGEM has officially launched the “Responsible SME” Label, an innovative framework designed to support Moroccan small and medium enterprises in their responsible transformation journey.

Led by the CSR & Diversity Commission, chaired by our CEO, this label complements CGEM’s existing CSR label by offering a framework tailored to the specificities of SMEs.

A Structured Framework Built on Five Key Pillars

The “Responsible SME” Label is based on a structured framework organized around five fundamental pillars, covering all dimensions of corporate social responsibility:

  • Employment and Labor Rights Compliance – Promoting good HR practices and workplace well-being
  • Customer Service Quality – Excellence in customer relations and user satisfaction
  • Responsible Supplier Relations – Developing an ethical and sustainable business ecosystem
  • Corruption Prevention and Transparency – Ethical governance and transparent practices
  • Environmental Preservation – Ecological commitment and controlled environmental impact

A Progressive and Accessible Approach

Designed as an accessible and progressive transformation lever, the label allows SMEs to engage at their own pace in a structured approach, while showcasing their efforts to their ecosystem.

Valyans, a Committed Player in Responsible Growth

At Valyans, we are proud to see our CEO Saadia Slaoui Bennani champion such an initiative in service of Morocco’s entrepreneurial fabric. As a consulting firm committed to strategic business support, we are convinced that sustainable performance is inseparable from positive impact on individuals, society, and the environment.

We applaud this advancement that provides SMEs with a clear, concrete, and mobilizing framework to build tomorrow’s responsible enterprise.
