Non-financial performance statement
Social, societal and environmental information
Preamble
The Group has been voluntarily and actively engaged in a process to improve Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) since 2004. Within the Group, the CSR and QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety and Environment) department relies on a network of local officers who are present in the various Group companies and works in close collaboration with the human resources, innovation and technology, supply chain, legal and financial, and communications departments. Questions concerning the Group’s CSR strategy are presented and handled by the Group’s executive Committee. In November 2018, a “strategy and corporate responsibility” Committee was created within the Board of directors. In addition, a Group ethics committee is composed of members of the legal, CSR and QHSE, and internal control departments. This committee ensures compliance with the Group’s commitments regarding ethical issues. There are also local committees in some countries like the United States.
In 2018, we conducted an in-depth analysis to identify our challenges as well as our non-financial risks in order to redefine the priorities for Neopost and or its stakeholders and thus integrate them into the Group's strategy announced in January 2019. The Group has also analyzed Neopost’s shared value creation through its business model. This chapter includes the elements constituting the non-financial performance declaration in accordance with the order of 19 July 2017 and the decree of 9 August 2017. This non-financial performance declaration includes: the business model and its shared value creation in 2018; • analysis of material issues for the Group and its • stakeholders; • commitments, initiatives and results of the year 2018. • main CSR risks analysis; A consultation of the Group’s external and internal • stakeholders. Interviews were held with investors, customers, partners and members of the Group’s Executive Committee. Questionnaires were also sent to all senior leaders and to some of the Group’s employees (representing the Group’s various business units and the different countries in which it operates) as well as to a sample of end-users of our solutions and services; An analysis of the results of the consultation and the • calculation of the final scores for each challenge.
