Europcar Mobility Group (Paris:EUCAR) :
Vigeo Eiris – a global leader in Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) research, benchmarks, data and assessments - has
awarded a score of 61/100 to Europcar Mobility Group, raising the
Group to the "Advanced" level for its Environmental, Social and
Governance performance. This represents an increase of 15 points
compared to the previous rating (from 46/100 to 61/100).
This score rewards the Group's efforts in corporate social and
environmental responsibility since the launch of its CSR policy and
its "Commit Together" program in 2017.
Among the flagship initiatives that have been valued by Vigeo
Eiris:
- The Group’s continuous efforts to offer to
its customers a “CO2 light” fleet equipped with the latest and
cleanest motorizations provided by manufacturers1, and to gradually
increase the share of electric, hybrid and natural gas (NGV)
vehicles in its fleet in the coming years. - A range of hourly,
daily, weekly or longer-term mobility offers, from car rental to
car-sharing, offering as many alternatives to owning an individual
vehicle, with a view to favor a responsible and sustainable
mobility. - A responsible management of resources (water, energy…),
with 8 country subsidiaries certified ISO 14001 and 3 head offices
supplied with electricity from renewable sources.
Regarding governance, human resources management and customer
relationship management, the evaluation conducted by Vigeo Eiris
highlighted:
- A set of solid fundamentals supporting the
way the Group operates (e.g., “Code of Ethics and Commitments”,
Diversity Charter, commitment to the UN Global Compact initiative).
- A special attention paid to gender equity in a historically very
male sector (e.g., 46% of women in the Group, 40% of women
managers, creation in 2019 of the "Women in Mobility" women's
network). - Customer relations being stepped up, with the creation
of a Customer Engagement Department, which has led a vast
customer-focused approach involving a hundred employees and a
complete overhaul of Customer Relations processes, enabling a
significant increase in the NPS (+8 points between 2017 and
2019).
Olivier Baldassari, Group Chief Countries and Operations
Officer, member of the Management Board, comments: "This new rating
clearly rewards our CSR efforts and of course, encourages us to
continue them. Our ambition in terms of climate change is to
significantly reduce our CO2 emissions by 2030 through our "ONE
Sustainable Fleet" program, while continuing to deploy our vision
of a shared and inclusive mobility through the launch of new
services and offers. This is fully in line with our CONNECT
transformation plan, which aims to reorganise our Group around the
new needs and expectations of our customers: in particular, the
need for security and flexibility, and expectations of more
responsible and environmentally friendly mobility modes".
