SES-imagotag, (Euronext: SESL, FR0010282822), the global leader in electronic shelf labels and digital solutions for physical commerce, announced today that it has been awarded for the second straight year a Platinum Sustainability Rating, the highest-level of recognition granted by EcoVadis.
The leading provider of business sustainability ratings placed SES-imagotag in the top 1% of the 100,000 rated companies worldwide. EcoVadis assesses companies on their sustainability practices across four categories: Labour & Human Rights, Environment, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. This year, SES-imagotag has achieved remarkable results in all the categories, especially in the Environment category achieving 90/100 score.
To further improve SES-imagotag’s environmental performance, the Group has been conducting every year since 2021 group-wide GHG inventory (carbon footprint) to identify the most significant sources of emissions.
In 2023, SES-imagotag has proactively investigated the Science-Based Targets (SBT) methodology to develop emission reduction paths and targets. Today, the Group announces its commitment to set near-term company-wide emission reductions in line with the SBT initiative[1]. These emission reduction targets will be submitted to the SBTi next year for formal approval.
Thierry Gadou, Chairman & CEO of SES-imagotag, commented: “We are delighted to receive the Platinum Sustainability Rating from EcoVadis once again and being recognized among the top 1% companies they evaluate. Our purpose is to invent IoT and digital technologies that create a positive impact on society, by enabling sustainable and human-centered commerce. Retail is the largest industry in the world, there simply cannot be a sustainable future without a sustainable commerce. As the global leader in IoT and digital solutions for physical retail, all our teams are committed to achieve very high ESG standards and in particular ambitious decarbonization targets.”
