99.98% of Voltalia’s shareholders approve the adoption of the
Mission-driven company status
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code:
FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energies,
becomes a Mission-driven company, in line with the French PACTE1
law. Voltalia’s General Meeting of Shareholders held today
overwhelmingly adopted (99.98%) the resolution to amend the
Company’s bylaws to this effect.
Six years ago, Voltalia defined its
Purpose: improve the global environment fostering local
development. Since its creation, Voltalia has been
developing, building and operating renewable energy plants, for
itself and third-party customers in both the most developed
countries and emerging ones.
It is therefore through its operational
activities that Voltalia contributes every day to the fight against
climate change and local socio-economic development:
By becoming a Mission-driven Company, Voltalia
has chosen to align its activity with its bylaws by including, in
addition to its Purpose, three environmental and social objectives
that it will pursue as part of its activity within the
meaning of Article L. 210-10 of the Code of Commerce:
1) Act for the production of a renewable
energy accessible to the many, through a direct
contribution to the fight against climate change and a quality and
affordable green electricity;
2) Contribute with local population to
the sustainable development of our territories by building
long-term relationships with our local stakeholders;
3) Make the best out of the planet
resources in a sustainable way by maximizing the positive
impact of its activities on the environment, throughout our value
chain.
A Mission Committee has been set up to monitor
these objectives. It will prepare a mission report that will be
presented annually to Voltalia’s shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting. This Mission Committee is composed of three Voltalia
employees and an external expert:
- Robert Klein, Vice President, Latin America ;
- Alexis Goybet, Vice President, Hydro and Hybrid Projects
Development;
- Marine Jacquier, Director of Sustainable Development;
- Pierre Ducret, Climate Advisor to the Caisse des Dépôts Group
and founder of the Institute of Economics for Climate (I4CE)
By becoming the first company in its sector and the
third company listed on the regulated market of Euronext to achieve
the status of Mission-driven Company, Voltalia is thus
demonstrating its desire to pursue its actions in favour of the
environment and local development
Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia, commented: “We
would like to warmly thank our shareholders for their unanimous
support. Thanks to them, Voltalia is now a Mission-driven
Company.”
