OUR ESG PRIORITIES

Our conviction is that there has never been a better time to leverage technology and human capabilities to tackle Environment, Social and Governance challenges.

Our ESG priorities are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, as set by the United Nations, which are relevant to our business and ESG strategy.

We also support the TCFD (Task force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure) and aim at applying progressively their recommendations on climate-related risks disclosure, as well as the disclosure guidelines issued by the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and the SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board).

Our ESG strategy is focused on acting on climate change, investing in our talents and nurturing a diverse and inclusive environment, ensuring a diverse and accountable governance and a strong data protection environment.

The group has defined the following priorities which are part of its full ESG policy to be published by the end of the year.
