EthiFinance awards Voltalia a bronze medal for its extra-financial
performance in 2022
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code:
FR0011995588), an international player in renewable
energies and
Mission-driven
Company, has been
included in the Gaïa index for
the fifth consecutive year. This stock market index developed
by EthiFinance distinguishes the
best performing French stocks in terms of Corporate Social
Responsibility
(CSR).
Gaïa Research, EthiFinance's extra-financial
rating subsidiary, evaluates companies according to a framework of
approximately 140 criteria divided into four pillars: Environment,
Social, Governance and Stakeholders. The rating assesses the degree
of transparency of information, the maturity of policies
implemented and the progress made by the company in terms of
sustainable development.
Voltalia is ranked second among companies in its
sector. Voltalia also received a bronze medal for its ESG
performance, ranking 107th among French companies in the Gaïa index
out of a total of 371 companies evaluated.
Voltalia is the leading Mission-driven Company
in its sector and outperforms the Gaïa index in a number of areas
such as the fight against climate change, the functioning of
governance bodies and supplier relations. With 89% of its sales
eligible for the European Green Taxonomy, Voltalia is in fact
mitigating the impacts of climate change.
Voltalia has been making steady progress in the
Gaïa index since its first participation five years ago, with an
overall score of 65/100 in 2022, nine points higher than in 2021
(56/100)*, and well above the average score for its sector category
(50/100).
" We are very proud to see our ESG performance
recognised once again. The constant progression of our rating by
EthiFinance underlines the relevance of our environmental and
social mission, which guides our operational and financial
strategy. We will continue our actions for the benefit of the
climate and human development with transparency, humility and
ambition," said Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia.
Next on the agenda: Revenues Q4
2022, on January 25, 2023 (after market close)
Gaïa Research is the rating agency of the
EthiFinance group specialising in the evaluation of the ESG
performance of companies listed on European stock markets. Gaïa
Research evaluates the companies in its coverage according to a
framework of approximately 140 criteria divided into four pillars:
Environment, Social, Governance and External Stakeholders. The
evaluation process includes the collection and control of publicly
available ESG information for three years, a phase of dialogue with
the company to complete and clarify the data collected and the
verification of the consistency and homogenisation of the data in
order to calculate and publish an overall rating.
* Each year, the Gaïa standard evolves and new
criteria are included to better take into account the various
aspects of sustainability, hence the updated ratings compared to
the press release of November 24, 2021.
