Ekinops Enhances Corporate Sustainability with New ESG Commitments and Progress Updates

Ekinops' Commitment to Sustainability and ESG Initiatives

Ekinops, a leader in telecommunications solutions, has been actively promoting its commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) through various initiatives outlined in its recent reports. This commitment is spearheaded by the Board of Directors alongside the dedicated ESG Committee, setting a visionary agenda for sustainable business practice.

Enhanced Reporting and Increased Transparency

In the first half of 2025, Ekinops made significant strides in enhancing its ESG approach as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy. By issuing its first Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) report at the end of March 2025, Ekinops provided stakeholders with comprehensive non-financial information pertaining to the fiscal year 2024. This report showcases the company's commitment to double materiality analysis, providing crucial insights into its strategy, governance of sustainability, environmental impacts, and workforce-related matters.

Achievement of High ESG Ratings

Ekinops has notably improved its rating from EcoVadis, achieving a score of 75 out of 100 by June 2025, reflecting considerable progress particularly in the 'Environmental' and 'Social' pillars. As a result, the company received a Silver Medal, positioning it in the top 7% of assessed companies globally — a testament to its ongoing commitment to sustainability and operational excellence.

Communicating Progress on Global Standards

In compliance with the United Nations' Global Compact (UNGC), Ekinops published its third annual Communication on Progress (CoP) in 2025, reflecting its adherence to sustainable practices and principles. This communication illustrates the company's ongoing commitment to social responsibility on a global scale. Furthermore, the company has submitted sensitive data to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) as part of its efforts to keep climate-related information accessible for stakeholders. This includes their Climate Change questionnaire submission for the previous fiscal year and aims to upgrade past ratings.

Climate Transition Plan and Targets

Starting in July 2025, Ekinops will initiate a systematic Climate Transition Plan utilizing the ACT Step-by-Step methodology supported by ADEME, France's ecological transition agency. This strategic plan is part of their ongoing financial strategy and ecosystem engagement, aimed at achieving climate objectives collaboratively with investors and stakeholders.

ESG objectives are also core to executive remuneration—demonstrated by the fact that the variable portion of both the Chairman and CEO's pay as well as other employee bonuses are linked to ESG performance metrics. For the fiscal year 2025, four benchmark targets were set by the CSR Committee for adoption by the Board, focusing on key issues such as climate change adaptation, gender equality in the workforce, and responsible supply chain management.

Industry Leadership through Responsible Practices

Didier Brédy, the Chairman and CEO of Ekinops, emphasized that the strategic plan, titled 'Bridge,' significantly aligns with the company’s CSR initiatives, which strive to position Ekinops as a leader in fostering a responsible global telecommunications market. The various projects under this plan underscore Cby the strategic necessity of aligning corporate performance with sustainability goals.

Conclusion

Ekinops has made notable advancements as part of its ESG commitments and continues to take active steps toward a more sustainable future. Its commitment is reflected in substantial progress across various indicators, reinforcing its position as a responsible and forward-thinking player in the telecommunications industry. The concrete targets set for 2025 and beyond promise to drive innovation and accountability while making Ekinops a prominent advocate for sustainability in its operations and the industry at large.
