Renault Trucks receives Ecovadis Gold Rating

Renault Trucks has been awarded a Gold rating for its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility by Ecovadis, an independent CSR assessment platform. Renault Trucks is now part of the top 5 percent of highest-rated companies.

French truck manufacturer Renault Trucks has been honored with the top award by Ecovadis, an independent body which specializes in rating the CSR performance of companies in 150 countries. Ecovadis analyses 190 purchasing categories and rates companies according to 21 indicators related to the Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.

Renault Trucks provided Ecovadis with the CSR data relating to its various activities in these categories and, in parallel, Ecovadis conducted a 360° audit based on external sources of information.

Renault Trucks has joined the ranks of best in class.

Renault Trucks CSR Manager Julie Marconnet explains: “This Gold rating testifies to Renault Trucks’ commitment to sustainable development and rewards the company’s longstanding policy of tangible action in the economic, social and environmental sphere.
