ESI GROUP ranked first in “mid-caps with
annual revenues under €150m” category in the Gaia-Index 2021 for
the 5th year
Regulatory News:
Gaïa Research, a service of EthiFinance and a major player in
the field of ESG rating (environment, social and governance) of
French mid-sized listed companies, has awarded ESI Group
(Paris:ESI), a global player in virtual prototyping, committed to a
cleaner, safer, and more productive industry, the first Gaïa 2021
prize in the category of mid-cap companies with annual revenues
under €150 million.
This award received during the ceremony held on October 19th,
2021 in Paris, illustrates the efforts made by the Group to
continuously improve its CSR commitments (social, societal, and
environmental).
2021 was shaped by several significant actions for ESI Group,
both within its governance, its environmental commitments, some in
collaboration with Reforest'Action, and above all, with initiatives
dedicated to its employees.
Particularly shaken by the Covid-19 health crisis, the work-life
balance was a field of action for ESI Group, which employs 1,200
people in about 20 countries. In this context, the Group has
introduced a "No-Meeting Day": one-day per week dedicated to
restoring the importance of taking time, without meetings, enabling
employees to work differently. While reducing the stress and
pressure caused by overloaded agendas, this format increases the
concentration and productivity of teams.
"We are delighted with this new distinction from Gaïa Research.
In 2021, ESI succeeded in optimizing its ESG commitment on all
areas. The pandemic has disrupted the lives of our teams as well as
our work habits. With the ‘No-Meeting Day’, we wanted to offer an
initiative that would give our employees the opportunity to break
the rhythm which could sometimes be counterproductive and allow
them to thrive in their missions. We also worked for the Planet by
helping reforestation, strengthened the independence of our
governance and contributed to the decarbonization of the industry
through our solutions. All this would not have been possible
without the contribution of all our teams, who, in addition to
being expert and recognized, reflect diversity. This is a real
source of pride for all of us!" declared Corinne
Romefort-Régnier, ESI Group's Governance Director.
“We want to be a vector of
progress. The companies monitored by the Gaïa Research teams are
growing companies with strong development ambitions. Our objective,
in addition to supporting financial players in their responsible
investment approach, is also to prepare companies for the new
expectations of their stakeholders in terms of environmental,
social and governance issues," says Emmanuel de La Ville
of Gaïa Research. "Our
evaluations allow investors to identify the most transparent and
efficient companies in terms of CSR."
Methodology: Since 2009, Gaïa Research has been
conducting an annual data collection campaign covering most of the
SMEs listed in France. Based on this information, companies are
rated on their level of transparency and performance. The ratings
are based on 174 criteria (economic, governance, human capital,
environment and stakeholders) and are used by leading management
companies in their management process and investment decisions.
Since its creation, this index has outperformed the CAC 40 and the
CAC Mid & Small every year.
