The SAFRAM group has just been awarded two EcoVadis medals. “Silver” for France and “Bronze” for Switzerland. EcoVadis is the world’s leading platform for assessing and improving companies’ ethical, social and environmental performance.

Based on the detailed observation of the CSR performance of over 33,000 companies worldwide, the EcoVadis analysis methodology is based on 21 criteria and 4 themes (environment, fair working conditions, business ethics, sustainable procurement).

EcoVadis deploys an information system and a network of experts to provide buyers with simple and reliable information covering 150 countries, 190 purchasing categories, and 21 indicators (from “CO2 emissions” to “child labour”). Today, over 300 large international groups and over 70% of CAC40 companies use EcoVadis for the CSR assessment of their suppliers.

The overall score awarded to SAFRAM by EcoVadis reflects the quality of our CSR management system. For our group, this rating constitutes a tangible overview of our CSR practices, responding to requests from our customers and future customers, to whom we are able to provide updated reports. This is an opportunity for us to highlight our governance, but also to report on our actions and identify possible levers for progress.

In addition, joining the EcoVadis platform allows us to benefit from a process of continuous improvement, with an annual reassessment of our CSR performance.
