Corporate Social Responsibility

A voluntary approach in which the TSM Group is involved

Defined by the ISO 26000 standard as "the responsibility of an organisation towards the impacts of its decisions and activities on society and the environment". This responsibility leads TSM to commit to a global approach of Social Responsibility.

This policy is based on 4 essential points aligned with the company's values.

Cultivating the company's identity within a cohesive group

A group of French SMEs within a family group

TSM remains faithful to its identity and its history thanks to its family ownership and its strong roots in the Seine Valley and in France.

Above all, a family business established in the port of Rouen for over a century, TSM is operational 7 days a week, 24 hours a day to provide assistance to ships.

Bases on its experience, the towing company has expanded its activities to become a group of French SMEs operating on French coasts, in ports and in the maritime environment.
