TESA ASSA ABLOY receives EcoVadis certification for CSR actions
What is CSR?
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to the ongoing commitment of companies to act responsibly by voluntarily integrating social and environmental concerns into their business operations.
Beyond mere regulatory compliance, CSR examines how companies manage their economic, social and environmental impact, as well as their relationships with stakeholders (employees, business partners, governments, etc.).
EcoVadis
Founded in 2007, EcoVadis is today the largest recognized provider that has defined the standard for assessing corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility. Its CSR performance assessment platform, used by more than 500,000 companies in 175 different countries, has established measurement criteria in four areas:
- Ethical: fight against fraud and corruption, data protection, etc.
- Social: respect for human rights, gender equality, improvement of employees' working conditions, etc.
- Environment: reduction of energy consumption and discharges in the form of pollution and waste, commitment to biodiversity and sustainable development, etc.
- Responsible purchasing: taking into account environmental, social and ethical criteria when choosing suppliers.
