Your job in a few words ?

Cécile: Dupon is a professional, Parisian, historical photographic laboratory, a reference for photographers and actors of the cultural world. But it is also and above all a laboratory at the service of the communication of perfume and cosmetic brands.

 

What are the different departments of your company?

Florent : At Dupon, we have total control of the graphic chain through our three main activities: shooting, with an integrated photo studio. Retouching with a team that is as technical as it is artistic, and all the different types of printing: agentic, digital and all the associated finishing touches.

 

You have the EPV label, what does that mean?

Florent: We have been EPV certified since 2020, it is above all a recognition of the know-how of our employees and particularly of some of our artistic trades such as manual black and white printing and our custom-made frames.

 

What is the importance of CSR within your structure?

Florent : The CSR commitment of Dupon and RC Group is a daily concern for us. On the production side, the notion of CSR challenges us at every stage of a project. From the choice of materials, the type of production to the packaging and delivery.

Cécile: On the management side, CSR has a positive impact on the way we manage our teams. Quality and human relations are essential, both internally and with suppliers. We also attach great importance to respecting the environment and the footprint of our activities on the planet.
