FIRST CSR ROADMAP 2022-2025 ADHESION TO THE UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL COMPACT
In line with its corporate culture and values, Rubis wishes to contribute to sustainable growth in its long-term strategic vision.
Rubis is strengthening its commitments by defining, implementing and publishing its first CSR[1] 2022-2025 roadmap. The Group has now been a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact since August 2021.
Through its official adhesion to the United Nations Global Compact, Rubis is reaffirming its commitment to the 10 universally recognized principles relating to human rights and environmental protection, compliance with international labor standards and the fight against corruption.
By publishing its first CSR roadmap, Rubis is strengthening and steering its CSR strategy structured around three focuses divided into nine commitments, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
-- focus 1: reducing its environmental footprint;
-- focus 2: providing a safe and stimulating environment for its employees;
-- focus 3: contributing to a more virtuous society.
These commitments are accompanied by quantified goals and indicators, whose main ones are:
-- reducing CO2 emissions from operations: - 20% by 2030 (2019 baseline) over scopes 1 and 2[2];
-- setting a CO2 emissions reduction target over scope 3A in 2022;
-- increasing the number of women in senior management: an average of 30% of women on Executive Committeesby 2025;
-- training our employees to operate with integrity: 100% of employees trained by 2023.
Rubis is continuing its efforts to adapt to new developments as regards the energy transition, including a broad mission to decarbonize its activities, in particular by setting an internal carbon price.
Furthermore, in June 2021, Rubis made a first strategic shift into renewable energies by becoming the second largest shareholder of HDF Energy, taking an 18.5% stake in the company.
The CSR roadmap and implementation of the principles of the Global Compact will be monitored annually.
