The “Les Entreprises s'engagent” club, launched in national scale in 2018, aims to unite companies around values of solidarity, inclusion and sustainable development.
Since July 2024, the Interprofessional Consular Chamber of Saint-Martin (CCISM) is in charge of running the club in the region. Its president, Angèle Dormoy, recalled the symbolic significance of this initiative: “The challenges are numerous, but that didn’t stop us from applying and being selected to fly the flag for Saint-Martin entrepreneurship.” She now calls on all businesses to join this collective dynamic: “Today, I am launching a solemn appeal to all businesses : commit to our side”.
A company resolutely turned towards the future and others
Having become a leading company, Dauphin Telecom embodies social commitment in action. “We welcome this recognition with humility and determination,” declared its general manager, Eve Riboud, “We are a company born in Saint-Martin, anchored here, and looking to the future. This territory saw us born and we carry it in our DNA". With more than a hundred employees, the company is now present in Saint-Barth, Guadeloupe, French Guiana and Martinique, but remains deeply attached to its Saint-Martin roots.
Philippe Morel, Marketing and Sales Director, emphasizes the obviousness of this new mission: “Participating in the club is in line with our values. What motivates us is the possibility of federatingWe like to bring together the region's energies and businesses around a common ambition."

Inter-company workshops will enrich this program, in a shared desire to build concrete solutions adapted to the territory.
