their manufacturing/industrial and social objectives


Explanation:
"projet" can mean plan - and here it looks as though the sense is general, rather than referring to a specific plan.

industrial and corporate objectives


Explanation:
NB "social" can often mean "corporate" and I have a feeling it does in this case.

agree  Karen Tucker (X): "Social" is tricky: it can be translated as social, labor, corporate. I think you're right in this case. Talking about a company's "social objectives" does seem a bit odd, unless the context is philanthropy. Or maybe that's a cynical American view.
