A prize launched in 2007

The "Stars et Métiers" award is a prize organized by the Chambers of Trades and Crafts and the Banques Populaires. Launched in 2007, it aims to encourage excellence, boldness and innovation, and to highlight passionate business leaders.

To participate in this prize, you must be a craft business meeting the following criteria:

Be registered in the trade directory before 15/10/2019.
Be managed by the same business leader since 15/10/2019.
Be able to present at least the last 3 financial statements or a summary note provided by the banking institution, with a positive level of equity or a positive financial result over the last 3 years.
Meet your social and tax obligations.

An application had to be submitted by our banker. Subsequently, the selected applications were invited to an oral presentation in front of a jury of professionals at the end of 2024. It was the financial advisor who defended the candidates' applications for the occasion.

The “Stars & Métiers” competition has three categories (one winner per category):

Innovation: Rewards inventiveness in all its forms (technological, organizational, commercial).
Responsible: Highlights the integration of social and environmental concerns into craft activity.
Entrepreneur: Values exemplary business development, with strong growth over a short period.

PYT Audio awarded in the “responsible” category

PYT Audio was awarded in the responsible category due to its commitment, in particular, to the development of recycled and recyclable bio-sourced acoustic products, the hiring of people with disabilities and the use of energy-efficient vehicles.

For Dany Gaborieau, co-manager of the company: "We discussed the choice of category a lot with our bank advisor. Indeed, our company fit into each of them. We innovate with low-tech solutions which allows us to stand out and develop quickly in our market. All while paying attention to all aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)."

For Thibault Mercier, his partner: "This award is a great recognition of our commitment to many aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). We demonstrate that it is possible to innovate responsibly and make it a real differentiator on a market. This award will help us continue our approach."
