Sagemcom Secures EcoVadis Platinum Medal for Third Time, Reinforcing Its Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility
The Sagemcom Group is thrilled to announce that it has once again been honored with the prestigious Platinum Medal by EcoVadis, a globally recognized platform for evaluating Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) performance. This marks the third time Sagemcom has received this esteemed recognition, which represents the highest distinction awarded by EcoVadis. With an impressive score of 84 out of 100, Sagemcom now stands among the top 1% of companies assessed worldwide across all industries. This achievement underscores the company’s leadership in ecological transition, ethical business practices, sustainable supply chain management, and social responsibility.
For Sagemcom, the EcoVadis Platinum Medal is far more than just an accolade—it is a testament to the organization’s unwavering dedication to embedding sustainable development principles into every aspect of its operations. “This award is not merely a recognition of our efforts but a reflection of our collective commitment to making sustainability a cornerstone of our corporate strategy and culture,” says Sylvaine Couleur, Executive Vice President of CSR & Communication at Sagemcom. “Achieving this level of excellence demonstrates that our initiatives are not only impactful but also aligned with global standards. It reinforces our resolve to continue advancing our CSR commitments, benefiting our customers, partners, and employees.”
The Rigorous EcoVadis Assessment Process
EcoVadis employs a meticulous evaluation process, assessing companies based on 21 criteria grouped into four key themes: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Each theme is scrutinized to ensure that organizations are taking meaningful, measurable actions to address critical challenges within these domains. Sagemcom’s exceptional score reflects its ability to integrate structured and impactful initiatives across all four areas, showcasing how economic performance can go hand-in-hand with positive societal contributions.
Environmental Leadership
Sagemcom has long prioritized environmental stewardship, implementing innovative solutions to reduce its carbon footprint and promote resource efficiency. From designing energy-efficient products to adopting circular economy principles, the company consistently seeks ways to minimize waste and conserve natural resources. Its commitment to ecological transition extends beyond internal operations, influencing partnerships and collaborations aimed at fostering a greener future.
Labor and Human Rights Excellence
At the heart of Sagemcom’s success lies its people. The company places immense value on creating a workplace that upholds labor rights and fosters inclusivity, diversity, and well-being. Through comprehensive training programs, fair employment practices, and initiatives promoting work-life balance, Sagemcom ensures that its workforce feels empowered and supported. By championing human rights both internally and throughout its supply chain, the company sets a benchmark for ethical labor practices.
Ethical Business Practices
Ethics form the foundation of Sagemcom’s business philosophy. The company adheres to stringent codes of conduct, ensuring transparency, integrity, and accountability in all its dealings. Whether it’s combating corruption, safeguarding data privacy, or maintaining open communication channels with stakeholders, Sagemcom demonstrates its commitment to operating with the highest ethical standards.
Sustainable Procurement Initiatives
Sustainable procurement is another area where Sagemcom excels. The company actively collaborates with suppliers who share its vision for sustainability, encouraging them to adopt environmentally friendly and socially responsible practices. By integrating sustainability into its procurement processes, Sagemcom creates a ripple effect, driving positive change across its entire value chain.
A Catalyst for Continuous Improvement
While the EcoVadis Platinum Medal is undoubtedly a remarkable milestone, Sagemcom views it as a catalyst for further progress rather than a final destination. The company remains steadfast in its mission to push boundaries and explore new avenues for enhancing its CSR initiatives. For instance, ongoing projects focus on expanding renewable energy usage, reducing emissions, and developing cutting-edge technologies that support sustainable living.
Moreover, Sagemcom recognizes the importance of collaboration in achieving systemic change. By engaging with industry peers, policymakers, and local communities, the company aims to amplify its impact and contribute to a more equitable and sustainable world.
Recognition That Inspires Action
Receiving the EcoVadis Platinum Medal for the third time is a source of immense pride for Sagemcom. However, what truly matters to the organization is the broader significance of this recognition. It serves as validation that its efforts are making a tangible difference—improving lives, protecting the planet, and setting new benchmarks for corporate responsibility.
As Sylvaine Couleur aptly puts it, “This distinction strengthens our determination to continue innovating and leading by example. We believe that businesses have a vital role to play in addressing global challenges, and we are committed to rising to the occasion.”
