ESG: Quadient reaches the podium with second place in the 2021 Gaïa
Research ranking
Paris, October 29, 2021
Quadient (Euronext Paris: QDT), a leader in helping businesses
create meaningful customer connections through digital and physical
channels, was awarded second place in the Gaïa Research 2021
ranking, in the category of companies with more than €500 million
in revenues. The results were announced at a ceremony hosted by
EthiFinance in October.
Every year, Gaïa Research recognizes French
companies with the best environmental, social and
governance (ESG) performance from a panel of 230 small and
medium sized companies listed on Euronext Paris. Already ranked
fifth in its category last year, Quadient continues its efforts to
improve in all three areas.
With regard to governance, the appointment of
two new independent directors in 2021 to the company’s board of
directors brings new skills and perspective in automated SaaS
solutions and digital cloud-based platforms, key areas of growth in
Quadient’s strategic plan. In terms of social responsibility,
Quadient launched in 2021 its philanthropy program, Quadient Cares,
which allows employees to get involved and take action in their
local communities. A number of initiatives have also been launched
for diversity and inclusion, such as the signature of diversity
charters in various countries and the creation of the "Empowered
Communities," Quadient’s employee-led groups which provide
employees with safe spaces to listen, engage and raise awareness on
diversity matters. All of these initiatives contribute to
reinforcing an inclusive corporate culture at Quadient across the
globe. And on the environmental area, Quadient continues its
program on circular economy, with the extension of the product
remanufacturing process to the US market, while working on
initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon footprint.
“Improving our rating yet again in 2021 and
achieving second place in this year’s Gaïa Research ranking is an
appreciated recognition for Quadient’s leadership in this area.
Working together with our 5,000+ employees worldwide, Quadient will
continue its ongoing efforts to increase ESG performance as we
deliver leading solutions to our valued customers,” said Brandon
Batt, chief transformation officer for Quadient, who is responsible
for the company’s global corporate responsibility activities.
Quadient's commitment to corporate social
responsibility continues to be recognized by other rating agencies
as well, of note by MSCI with a recent rating of “AA”. In January
2021, Quadient was recognized by EcoVadis with a gold medal for the
3rd consecutive year, placing it in the top 1% of companies
evaluated in its sector of activity.
