Paris, May 18th 2020 – JCDecaux
SA (Euronext Paris: DEC), the number one outdoor advertising
company worldwide, has obtained the maximum AAA score in the
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) rankings of the Morgan
Stanley Capital International (MSCI)* ratings agency for the third
consecutive year.
The ranking confirms the robustness of the CSR
practices and sustainable development policy that JCDecaux has
employed for many years, and also reflects its long-term resilience
to environmental, social and governance risks. The score
acknowledges in particular the Group’s global governance practices
and its climate commitments, as well as its unrivalled ability in
its sector to develop clean and low-carbon technologies for smart
and sustainable cities. The AAA score places JCDecaux in the top
three in the Media & Entertainment category, among the top 4%
of the best-rated companies in the panel, and significantly exceeds
the average for the sector.
This recognition from MSCI adds to the other key
distinctions that the Group received in 2019:
- the maximum CDP “A List” rating, recognising JCDecaux’s
carbon-strategy leadership for the first time in 2019
- inclusion in the FTSE4Good index since 2014, with a score of
4.5 out of 5 in 2019, an improvement on its 2018 performance
- top 15% ranking in its sector by the ISS Oekom agency and
listing in the Euronext Vigeo Eiris Europe 120 and Eurozone 120
indices
Jean-Charles Decaux, Chairman of the
Executive Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer of
JCDecaux, commented: “We are particularly proud of this
new acknowledgement, which confirms our commitment and strategy, as
well as encourages us to pursue our initiatives. Environmental,
social and governance performances are a priority at JCDecaux. As
the number one outdoor advertising company, we are taking actions
to fight climate change and integrate environmental and social
solutions right from the design phase of our products. Through the
commitment and skills of all our employees, we are able to further
integrate these solutions into our daily business activities and
thus ensure the lasting growth of our company. Local and national
authorities have also a key role to play to integrate social,
societal and environmental criteria in the public decision-making
process: service guarantee, employment quality, resource
conservation being part of the development of an innovative,
resilient, inclusive and sustainable city.”
