The social, environmental and economic database (BDESE)

All companies with at least 50 employees must implement a BDESE, which includes all social and financial data to be provided to staff representatives on a regular basis as well as when conducting the CSE’s annual consultations.
Implementing the BDESE requires a strong knowledge of legal requirements as well as time and resources.
Employers that do not meet their obligations are subject to a financial penalty but also risk hindering a consultation process.

Because we believe that the BDESE can help developing a constructive social dialogue and facilitate strategic decision making, we have developed an assistance package to guide companies through the process of implementation of a compliant database.

We’ve also chosen to develop a partnership with the software provider who offers the most complete, regulatory and scalable BDESE solution : La-BDESE.
