RENAULT TRUCKS RECEIVES ECOVADIS GOLD STANDARD

Renault Trucks has been awarded a Gold rating for its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by Ecovadis, an independent CSR assessment platform. This ‘best in class’ assessment now puts Renault Trucks in the top five per cent of the highest-rated companies.

Renault Trucks provided Ecovadis with the CSR data relating to its various activities in these categories and, in parallel, Ecovadis conducted a 360° audit based on external sources of information.

Renault Trucks owes its excellent score to a number of factors including the planned release of a range of electric vehicles to respond to air quality and urban noise concerns, the signing of a diversity and disability charter and the rules that have been adopted by the company to fight corruption.

Renault Trucks CSR Manager Julie Marconnet explains: “This Gold rating is testament to Renault Trucks' commitment to sustainable development and rewards the company’s longstanding policy of tangible action in the economic, social and environmental sphere. Our customers trust this rating to give a true reflection of the level of commitment of their suppliers. It also helps us benchmark our progress and strive to continually raise our standards.”

Ecovadis is an independent body which specialises in rating the CSR performance of companies in 150 countries by analysing 190 purchasing categories and rates companies according to 21 indicators related to the Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
