Regulatory News:
PSA Peugeot Citroën (Paris:UG) is the only carmaker included
in the Euronext Vigeo World 120 index at
1 December 2015. The index comprises the world's 120
highest-ranking companies in terms of corporate social
responsibility (CSR).
Following a nearly six-month evaluation process, socially
responsible investment (SRI) rating agency Vigeo has announced that
PSA Peugeot Citroën's CSR performance rating has risen to
61.56/100 from 57.88/100 based on the previous evaluation in
2013.
The score enables the Group to remain in the Euronext Vigeo
World 120, Euronext Vigeo Europe 120, Euronext Vigeo
Eurozone 120 and Euronext Vigeo France 20 CSR
indices.
The Vigeo rating is recognition of PSA's transparency and
effectiveness in addressing CSR challenges and a clear sign of
confidence in the Group's strategy – particularly for the
finance industry.
Discussing the evaluation process, Karine Hillaireau, in charge
of SRI rating agency relations, said: "We had in-depth discussions
with the agency, where we gave point-by-point responses to its many
questions on topics such as the environment, human resources, human
rights, community involvement, accountability to customers,
purchasing, ethics and governance. What makes PSA's improvement all
the more remarkable is that it comes just after the Volkswagen
scandal, which cast doubt on the credibility of the entire auto
industry and led rating agencies to adopt a tougher, more stringent
evaluation process."
