On April 26, 2022, we received the results of the EcoVadis 2021 audit, which confirms our environmental, social and societal leadership.
According to the collaborative platform’s new rating, GESTION CREDIT EXPERT Group has achieved a score of 76/100, which is well above the industry average of 44/100.

CSR assessment: why use EcoVadis?
Like other client companies, GESTION CREDIT EXPERT turns to EcoVadis to be evaluated each year on its social and environmental performance.
The methodology of this platform, whose ranking is a global standard of CSR, is based on 4 themes:
- Environment
- Social and human rights
- Ethics
- Responsible purchasing.
To date, EcoVadis has assessed more than 60,000 companies worldwide, covering 198 industries and 155 countries. Extra-financial, evidence-based assessments play a key role in identifying CSR strengths and areas for improvement. They also facilitate the definition of a corrective action plan to increase performance.
With this in mind, our group assesses its CSR performance by submitting its results to the international extra-financial rating platform EcoVadis.
The good results obtained this year are a lever for competitiveness and attest to our leadership on climate and social issues. They make GESTION CREDIT EPERT a trusted partner for its clients.
Live well at work and do well
When we think CSR, we think “sustainable growth”. Sustainable growth that resists crises and does so while respecting the principles and values that we hold dear. To be sustainable, growth must include
- Treat employees, customers (and those of our customers) with the same respect, and do everything in their interest and satisfaction
- Develop the skills and ensure the well-being of our employees
- To support all our stakeholders, the company as a whole, and in particular the most vulnerable
- To consider the environment, its protection and its development, in all its actions.
