Scope of pledges
Programme status. Each participant carries a programme status that reflects the overall progress of its commitments: Engaged (commitments taken, work starting), Shaper (concrete measures under way), Leader (ambitious commitments largely delivered), Champion (the highest level, all commitments achieved and renewed). This status evolves over time.
Pledge levels. Every pledge is classified by ambition level, from 1 to 3, shown as dots next to its thematic. Level 1: a first, foundational commitment. Level 2: a concrete, measurable action with a defined target and timeline. Level 3: the most ambitious commitment, structural and verified against recognised standards.
Progress. Each pledge shows its progress: In progress (work under way within the agreed timeline), Achieved (target reached and validated), Delayed (timeline extended). Alumni companies keep their last recorded pledges and levels.

* Sustainability services include activities that directly impact organisational sustainability, such as "Sustainability Audit" and "Sustainability Advisory".
Recognising sustainability as an integral part of the way we do business, we implement the following actions in parallel : every new hire completes a minimum 30-minute sustainability-and-ethics onboarding, and 100 % of employees refresh these principles each year through Code-of-Conduct training delivered via internal events, specialist seminars and e-learning. |
