Regulatory News:
Europcar Mobility Group (Paris:EUCAR) signed the United Nations
Global Compact in 2005, which is the world's largest corporate
sustainability initiative.
Today, Europcar Mobility Group is proud to announce that it
qualifies its annual reporting (Communication on Progress, COP) at
the “Advanced” level, only reached by 11% of companies.
The “Advanced” level is the highest level of reporting within
this framework, proving the implementation of a range of good
practices regarding subjects as varied as CSR strategy, governance,
anti-corruption, environment, human rights, support for UN goals,
etc.
As such, the Group will join the GC Advanced Club, which
provides a privileged space for dialogue, reflection and collective
learning, in order to continue to make progress in implementing the
21 criteria of the GC Advanced reporting level of the Global
Compact.
For Europcar Mobility Group, this recognition reflects the
growing maturity of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
strategy, reinforced by the launch of its "Commit Together"
programme in 2017. It follows the latest progress registered by the
Group in terms of ESG ratings: 61/100 by Vigeo Eiris (+15 points) ;
71/100 with an entry in the Gold Medal category by Eco Vadis ; B
rating by CDP, above the sector average.
UN Global Compact & Europcar Mobility Group
The United Nations Global Compact is one of the largest
international commitment initiatives in terms of respect for human
rights, international labor standards, environment and fight
against corruption.
With more than 13,000 participants in 170 countries, nearly 70
local networks around the world ensure a close relationship with
members and national mobilization, as in the case of Global Compact
France.
In 2005, Europcar Mobility Group was the first operator in the
vehicle rental sector to adhere to the principles of the United
Nations Global Compact. Since then, every year the Group has
reaffirmed its commitment to respect all Ten Principles , inspired
by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ILO Declaration,
the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the United
Nations Convention against Corruption, and to contribute to the
achievement of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
(SDG).
