For the third year running, Texen has been awarded the EcoVadis Platinum Medal with a score of 83/100, an improvement on last year despite more demanding criteria. This places the company in the top 1% of sustainability performers worldwide. Platinum certification is the highest possible recognition in the EcoVadis assessment, which is based on four main criteria: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and responsible purchasing.
"Receiving the EcoVadis Platinum award for the third time in a row is a real source of pride for our Group. It reflects our ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability principles into all our activities. We firmly believe that a responsible company is a successful company, and this award encourages us to continue striving for excellence."says François-Xavier Entremont, Group President.
Among the group's many achievements - in line with the UN's main sustainable development goals - is the reduction of 43.5 % in carbon emissions by 2019 thanks to work on scopes 1 and 2. Texen has produced over 80 % of eco-designed offers. Some 88 % of the Group's production sites are ISO 14001 certified. In addition, the equivalent of 778 tonnes of carbon were saved, thanks in particular to the installation of insulating sleeves on presses and photovoltaic panels.
Other emblematic data: 16% of purchases are made through a solidarity-based approach; 85% of the most exposed employees in France and abroad have been trained in business ethics.
