Claranova recognized for reducing carbon footprint

PlanetArt parent company Claranova announced it obtained the Gold level for its carbon footprint, awarded by Greenly, an international benchmark in carbon emissions measurement and management. This ranking places Claranova in the top 5% of companies assessed.

By implementing an action plan to reduce its carbon footprint and carrying out a detailed greenhouse gas assessment integrating Scopes 1, 2 and 3, Claranova has seen its Greenly score rise from C last year (Bronze level), to an A score this year. Gold status means the group has demonstrated a solid commitment to managing its environmental impact by setting quantified targets to reduce its emissions, quantifying the impact of its action plans and raising awareness among its employees on environmental issues.

At the same time, Claranova also recorded a significant improvement in its extra-financial rating.EthiFinance ESG Ratings, now achieving a score of 41 out of 100 for its 2022-2023 financial year, an improvement of 8 points compared to last year, which allows it to approach the Bronze level (50/100). This progression underlines the group’s continued commitment to integrating responsible and sustainable practices into its daily operations, the company said

EthiFinance ESG Ratings, the EthiFinance Group’s extra-financial rating agency, evaluates companies based on nearly 140 criteria divided into four categories: Environment, Social, Governance and External Stakeholders (ESG-PPE). This assessment measures the transparency of information, the maturity of the policies implemented and progress in sustainable development. In recent months, the Group has undertaken significant work on all of these extra-financial aspects, particularly within its new governance. Other measures taken recently should contribute to further improving its rating for the next financial year.

“We are delighted to receive this recognition from Greenly for our commitment to environmental sustainability and to see a significant improvement in our EthiFinance ESG Ratings,” said Michele Anderson, chair of Claranova’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee. “These improvements would not have been possible without the contribution of all our employees around the world, whom I would like to thank for their efforts. Our considerable progress reinforces our determination to continue improving; we are working collectively and diligently to make a significant positive contribution to the global transition to a greener and more sustainable economy. ”
