Gaïa-Index:
Guerbet consolidates its position as
leader in the “Healthcare” category
Villepinte (France), January 4, 2022
(18:00 CET) - Gaïa-Index, a subsidiary of EthiFinance and leader in
the ESG (environmental, social and governance) rating of listed
French mid-caps, has ranked Guerbet the best company in the
healthcare category for the third year running. This year, Guerbet
also sits in 10th place in the national rankings.
In terms of its overall position, Guerbet scored
87, marking an increase of 3 points from last year and positioning
the company 10th in the ranking of 400 French companies covered by
the 2021 Gaïa Research campaign.
Gaïa Rating has been conducting its annual data
collection campaign since 2009. It involves most of the listed SMEs
in France. It rates companies for their transparency and
performance based on this information and attributes scores
according to 170 demanding and quantitative economic, governance,
human capital, environmental and stakeholder criteria, which evolve
annually based on the results of previous years and on emerging ESG
risks. Leading management companies use these ratings in their
management processes and investment decisions. Every year since its
inception, this index has outperformed the CAC 40 and the CAC Mid
& Small.
David Hale, CEO of Guerbet, said: "Our
progression in the GAIA ranking reflects the Group’s daily actions
in support of patients, our employees and, more generally, all our
stakeholders. including our environment. The results speak for
themselves, thanks above all to the efforts of the 2,600 women and
men who work for Guerbet. Corporate social responsibility is a key
pillar of our strategy, it is becoming a real driver of our overall
performance and a differentiator. Our teams carry out virtuous work
that helps us to improve our daily lives and to build a future for
ourselves and for our patients with talent attracted by our
values.”
As a reminder, Guerbet builds its CSR approach
around four pillars, with key objectives and actions planned
between now and 2023:
- our employees
- safety
- the environment
- ethics
In December 2021, Guerbet’s CSR performance also
earned recognition through:
- its inclusion in the 2022 list of most responsible companies in
France, compiled by the news magazine Le Point*: the Group ranked
147th overall, and 12th in the Healthcare and Pharmaceutical
business sector;
- the awarding of an A rating in the Helpévia sustainable
development questionnaire. Helpévia is a leader in referencing,
purchasing and consulting for healthcare institutions;
- a B rating awarded by the CDP* in the Climate Questionnaire:
for the third consecutive year, Guerbet has published information
and data on its climate strategy in response to the CDP Climate
Questionnaire in the interests of transparency. In 2021, Guerbet
obtained a B rating for its 2020 information and data. This result
reflects our awareness of 2020 climate issues but does not yet
reflect the climate strategy and decarbonization objectives
currently under development.
*The ranking is based on an analysis conducted
by Statista of a panel of 2,000 companies with more than 500
employees, with offices in France and having issued a CSR report or
equivalent. The analysis focused on three areas: the
environment, social concerns, and corporate governance. Statista
also conducted a complementary survey among 5,000 French people on
their opinion of these companies. The survey accounts for 30%
of the final score, and the remaining 70% is determined by some 20
indicators, including reduction of energy consumption.
**Since 1980, Helpévia has been a leader in
referencing, purchasing, and consulting for healthcare
institutions. Helpévia’s CSR policy supports healthcare
institutions in their approach to the three economic, social and
environmentally sustainable development challenges. Helpévia also
deploys this CSR commitment within its teams, for whom it has
become a daily benchmark for work and performance.
***CDP is an international non-profit
organization, formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project. It
has the world’s largest database of environmental information on
cities and companies. CDP encourages investors, companies, and
cities to take action to build a truly sustainable economy, while
helping them to measure and understand their environmental
impact.
