EcoVadis for its environmental and social
performance in 2022, putting it in the top 1% of
the most exemplary companies
Paris, 7 December 2022 –
JCDecaux SE (Euronext Paris: DEC), the number one outdoor
advertising company worldwide, announced that it has been awarded
the “Platinum” medal by EcoVadis for its ESG performance and
responsible procurement, with an overall score of 76/100, much
higher than the average for the “Advertising and market research”
sector which stands at 43/100. Having won the “Gold” medal in 2021
with a score of 71/100, this year the Group has been given the
highest level of recognition awarded by EcoVadis, to move up to
among the top 1% of the most exemplary companies.
EcoVadis, the internationally recognised rating
agency has a presence in 160 countries, with a global network of
75,000 companies that it surveys each year, assessing the level of
maturity of policies and actions that have been implemented based
on 21 challenges, and four themes: Environment, where JCDecaux
obtained its best score of 90/100 (i.e. 20 points more than last
year), Social and Human rights and Responsible Procurement, where
the Group obtained the same scores as in 2021 with respectively
80/100 and 70/100, and Ethics, where JCDecaux gained 10 points on
last year’s score to obtain 70/100.
Since 1964, JCDecaux has been designing,
installing and maintaining light infrastructure (bus shelters, city
information panels, automatic public toilets, self-service
bicycles, etc.) in the public space and public mobility thanks to
financing generated by advertising. Our products provide useful,
innovative and free services for millions of people, for local
communities and for transport companies, while at the same time
preserving the use of natural resources.
JCDecaux made new commitments in May 2022 in
terms of sustainable development with the publication of its ESG
2030 strategy which strengthens and accelerates its commitments to
the circular economy, responsible communication and decarbonisation
of the economy, in compliance with the National Low-Carbon
Strategy, the Climate & Resilience Law, the Green Deal of the
European Union and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs).
This new recognition of the actions of the Group
in terms of social and environmental responsibility underlines the
commitment of JCDecaux, the robustness of its strategy and its
transparency in terms of sustainable development. It lends weight
to the historical commitment of JCDecaux to a sustainable business
model that is respectful of the environment and society along the
four themes assessed by EcoVadis:
- Environment:
JCDecaux, which, by end-2022, will cover 100% of its electricity
needs with renewable electricity, underlines its ambitions to
reduce carbon emissions via its approach to recondition existing
street furniture. The Group has also defined lighting standards
based on the use of LED technology for analogue furniture and has
developed smart lighting solutions to enhance the energy
performance of its products to an even more substantial extent.
Furthermore, at end-2021, 15 countries were certified ISO
14001, representing 60% of JCDecaux revenue.
- Social and Human
Rights: JCDecaux’s International Charter of Fundamental
Social Values, published in 2012 and updated in 2018, describes the
Group’s commitment to upholding Human Rights, and strengthens the
protection of fundamental social rights in over 80 countries where
it operates. A survey of the compliance of local practices to the
principles of this Charter has been carried out every two years
since 2013.
- Responsible
procurement: from 2014, a Supplier Code of Conduct has
been introduced to detail the expectations of JCDecaux towards its
suppliers regarding social, ethical, health and safety and
environmental themes. In 2021, 93% of key suppliers were assessed.
The annual assessment of key suppliers is complemented by our
audits, ensuring that the appropriate application of the principles
of the Supplier Code of Conduct are upheld.
- Ethics: From 2001,
the Group set out in its Ethical Charter, the ethical principles
and rules that all Group business in all the countries where we
operate must adhere to. A digital learning module covering the
General Regulation on Data Protection (GRDP) has also been made
obligatory for “connected” employees at all JCDecaux’s European
subsidiaries.
Jean-Charles Decaux, Chairman of the
Executive Board and Co-CEO of JCDecaux, said: “As a French
family-owned business, pioneer of street furniture, leading
employer in the sector in France and worldwide, JCDecaux is a
responsible company, historically committed to sustainable
development, true to the values of our founder. While we had
already demonstrated JCDecaux’s place among the most responsible
companies when we first won the EcoVadis award in 2021 with a
“Gold” medal, we are very proud to have been given the “Platinum”
medal this year, the highest accolade given by EcoVadis, clearly
outperforming the sector average. Backed by our 2030 ESG roadmap
which promotes an inspiring model that combines economic,
environmental, social and ethical performance, we work with our
various stakeholders and are committed to supporting those involved
in public and private procurement so that this can become a
powerful and effective impact for sustainable development. We are
committed to the implementation of long-term and concrete actions,
underlining our responsibility in terms of tackling environmental
and human challenges, as well as the strength of our strategy and
our transparency. It reinforces the historical commitment of
JCDecaux to a sustainable economic model, respectful of the
environment and society which improves the quality of urban life by
offering useful, accessible, innovative and ever-more sustainable
services and solutions.”
