Worldline scores 87/100 and confirms a steady improvement of its extra-financial performance

Worldline [Euronext: WLN], the European leader in the payments and transactional services industry, announces that it has obtained a score of 87/100 as part of its evaluation by the Gaia Rating, which distinguishes the most successful French companies in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
 

Gaining one point over last year and nearly ten points since its first evaluation in 2015, Worldline continues its upward progression and to be among the top rated companies of the Gaïa Index for their responsible and sustainable practices. Worldline’s score of 87/100 recognizes this year the company’s steady progress year after year regarding governance, social and environmental policies, and its external stakeholders’ engagement.

Since the launch of its CSR strategy in 2015, Worldline has been engaged in a dynamic of continuous improvement of its extra-financial performance. This strategy is bearing fruit since 75% of the main CSR Key Performance Indicators defined by the company have been constantly improving since that date.

This year, it is on the social aspect that Worldline displays the best progress. Its well-being at work program wellbeing@worldline offers employees an ever healthier working environment and more favorable workingconditions for everyone’s development and fulfillment. Worldline has also made progress in the area of ??????equal opportunities, particularly thanks to the implementation of its Gender Equity program. In addition, Worldline is improving in terms of skills development thanks to a training offering that is continuously enriched and diversified to meet its employees’ new needs.

Worldline’s efforts to increase employees’ awareness of responsible and ethical behaviors and practices in the conduct of business, in particular via its internal code of conduct and the launch of an anonymous warning system, also prove fruitful.

This positive trend confirms Worldline’s good level of maturity and demonstrates the strength of its governance and CSR policy to meet its main strategic issues in terms of sustainable development. It is based on the implementation of effective action plans in the framework of its TRUST 2020 program. This has enabled the acceleration of the transformation of the company in order to reach its 2020 CSR objectives, thanks to the mobilization of all employees and the full involvement of the management team. At the midpoint of its TRUST 2020 journey, Worldline has already achieved 40% of its objectives, particularly in terms of turnover generated through its sustainable offers, customer satisfaction and carbon neutrality of its data centers and payment terminals.
