Paris, March 25, 2021
Quadient (Euronext Paris: QDT), a leader in
helping businesses create meaningful customer connections through
digital and physical channels, announced today it has joined the
United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest corporate
sustainability initiative. Quadient joins more than 12,000
companies across the globe in aligning strategies and operations
with the UN Global Compact’s ten universal principles on human
rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.
Quadient's approach to corporate responsibility
is based on improving working conditions, promoting a culture of
integrity, reducing its environmental footprint, providing
innovative, reliable and sustainable solutions, and supporting the
communities in which the company operates. These pillars have been
aligned with the UN Global Compact principles that Quadient commits
to respect, support and promote by joining the initiative. Becoming
a signatory member also implies taking action to advance the UN
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), eight of which Quadient is
already committed to.
This decision demonstrates Quadient’s commitment
to corporate social responsibility and will support further
advancement of the company’s strategic initiatives on
Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG). Recent
Quadient ESG actions include:
- a responsible procurement policy, focusing on ethical
practices, environmental stewardship and social
responsibility;
- a low carbon approach aligned with a “well below 2°C” scenario,
the remanufacturing of hardware solutions, and over 90% of
industrial waste recycling;
- the implementation of multiple programs to foster inclusion and
diversity in the workplace, including the launch of employee-led
support networks and a women’s empowerment leadership program;
- a recent update of the company’s Code of Ethics, as well as
mandatory trainings for all employees on ethics, data privacy and
information security.
“We understand Quadient’s role in making a
positive impact on society and the environment. This responsibility
drives us to continuously review and improve our activities toward
incorporating responsible practices into our day-to-day operations,
at all levels of the company, and to contribute to positive change
in society,” said Brandon Batt, chief transformation officer at
Quadient, who leads the company’s worldwide operations related to
Corporate Social Responsibility. “Joining the UN Global Compact is
a natural next step in this work and a milestone in our CSR
program.”
“Quadient operates its business with great
respect for the principles set forth in the UN Global Compact.
Expressing our commitment to these principles will drive awareness
and help to achieve our corporate social responsibility and
business goals,” said Geoffrey Godet, CEO at Quadient. “Aligning
Quadient’s initiatives to the Global Compact’s principles is also a
strong message to our teams, who are working together for a more
socially and economically inclusive workplace, as well as to our
external stakeholders.”
The UN Global Compact is a
United Nations project aiming to mobilize a global movement of
sustainable companies. It provides a framework of 10 principles on
human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption. To learn more
