Three major ESG honors:

EthiFinance’s non-financial rating subsidiary, EthiFinance ESG Ratings, assesses companies on the basis of nearly 140 criteria divided into four categories: Environment, Social, Governance, and External Stakeholders. This assessment measures the transparency of information, the maturity of policies implemented, and progress made in sustainable development.

EthiFinance has confirmed the Group’s ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance, giving it a rating of 72 out of 100 this year and awarding it a gold medal for the second year in a row.

This success comes on the heels of another honor from the Sustainalytics agency—a specialist in ESG research, analysis, and rating—who gave Séché Environnement a Low ESG Risk Rating of 19.7 to signify its low risk of significant financial impacts related to ESG factors. This rating method assesses both a company’s exposure to the material ESG risks specific to its sector and its related risk management practices.

The Group’s non-financial ambitions have also been bolstered by the Second Party Opinion from S&P on the revised Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework, which declared our sustainability performance objectives to be “strong”, particularly with regard to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and freshwater withdrawal.

“These non-financial assessments highlight our Group’s deep commitment to placing these sustainability issues at the heart of our business model. For example, 68% of our revenue at June 30, 2024 was considered to be sustainable according to the EU taxonomy. At Séché Environnement, we put environmental responsibility at the core of our strategy in order to meet the challenges of tomorrow and support our customers through their transition to a circular economy that is more responsible and resource-conscious,” affirmed Maxime Séché, Chief Executive Officer of Séché Environment.
