EthiFinance awards a gold medal to Voltalia for its extra-financial performance
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energies, is included in the Gaia stock market index for the sixth consecutive year. This index, developed by EthiFinance, distinguishes the best-performing companies listed on Euronext in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
EthiFinance's extra-financial rating subsidiary, Gaïa Research, evaluates companies based on nearly 140 criteria divided into four categories: environmental, social, governance and stakeholders. This assessment measures the transparency of information, the maturity of the policies implemented and the progress towards sustainable development.
Voltalia, which has shown continuous improvement in the Gaia Index since its first participation six years ago, has for the first time received a gold medal for its ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) performance, with a score of 73 out of 100 for 2022, an improvement of six points compared to last year.
"After the Sustainalytics agency last October, it is EthiFinance's turn to reward our extra-financial performance with a new rating increase for Voltalia. Since we adopted the status of ‘Mission-driven company’, we have been making steady progress with each of our rating agencies. This highlights the commitment of all teams to our environmental, social and governance objectives", says Sébastien Clerc, Chief Executive Officer of Voltalia.
Next on the agenda: Q4 2023 Turnover, on January 31st, 2024 (after market close)
