This award places Guerbet in the CDP leadership
group for its environmental commitment and performance as part of
its corporate strategy.
Villepinte (France), 17 December (8:00
a.m. CET) - Guerbet (FR0000032526 GBT), a global leader in
medical imaging, has received an A grade for its second
contribution to the climate questionnaire distributed by CDP, a
non-profit organization that singles out the world's most active
companies in the fight against climate change. This result marks an
improvement on the B grade received in 2019.
The CDP annual environmental performance
reporting and scoring process is the gold standard in corporate
environmental transparency. In 2020, over 515 investors with $106
trillion in assets and over 150 large purchasers with $4 trillion
in buying power requested thousands of companies to disclose
through CDP information on their environmental impact and on the
related risks and opportunities.
“This year marks the fifth anniversary of the
Paris Agreement, and we are delighted to see that our commitment
and progress have been recognized by CDP. Guerbet is continuing to
pursue its dynamic CSR approach, a key driver of performance and
differentiator, spurred on as always by family shareholders. We are
determined to reduce our environmental footprint and to commit our
ecosystem to a virtuous circle of decarbonation,” said Pétra
Zalabak, VP Human Resources & CSR for Guerbet.
Guerbet’s CSR approach is built around four
pillars with key objectives and actions planned between now and
2023. One of the main thrusts concerns its EHS policy, which gives
absolute priority to the safety of people while minimizing
environmental impacts at all levels.
As part of this EHS policy, Guerbet is committed
to implementing solutions to improve its industrial processes and
effectively reduce their environmental impact:
- Production process control
- Sustainable use of natural resources
- Measures against climate change
- Process innovation strategy
- Waste control
Guerbet is also committed to taking actions to
lessen its impact on global warming.
To reduce its main sources of emissions, the
Group is:
- stepping up its EHS and CSR continuous improvement process with
the most high-risk suppliers;
- giving priority to sea transport over air transport for
shipping finished products to customers;
- reducing energy consumption at all its industrial sites.
