Quadient Commits to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Evaluation of the Company’s CSR performance by independent third parties

The Company intends to contribute to the achievement of the following five Goals: Goal 5: “Achieve gender equality and empower all ● women and girls.” Quadient is committed to gender equality and, as far as possible, it wants to not only recruit more women but also allow them to access management positions through internal promotion. In this respect, a women's leadership program has been developed. Sponsored by Quadient's CEO and the Executive Management team, the program delivers practical insights and skills focused on both the challenges and opportunities for women in leadership. Women leaders will build a powerful learning network and in turn, empower other women and be part of their success story. Main target: employees; Goal 8: “Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable ● economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.” In accordance with its Code of Ethics and supplier Code of Conduct, Quadient is particularly vigilant as to the working conditions of all its suppliers and partners and is committed to respecting the fundamental principles set out in the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the conventions of the International Labor Organization. Moreover, it helps boost employment in the different regions of the world in which it operates. Main targets: partners and employees; Goal 9: “Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive ● and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.” As a committed and innovative player in the fields of digital communication (Customer Communication and Experience Management solutions, paperless digitalization) and the value chain for parcels (automated packing systems, parcel lockers), Quadient’s business naturally dovetails with this goal. Main targets: partners, customers and communities; Goal 12: “Ensure sustainable consumption and ● production patterns.” Quadient is a player in the circular economy through its remanufacturing approach. Furthermore, the Company deploys collection processes for its end-of-life products and consumables. Main targets: customers; Goal 13: “Take urgent action to combat climate change ● and its impacts.” Quadient participates in initiatives to reduce energy consumption, optimize upstream and downstream freight transport, and reduce the carbon footprint of its products, detailed in the environmental section below. Main targets: communities.
