What are the ESG criteria specific to the retail sector?
- ESG criteria
- Energy and environmental data collection
- Reduction of energy consumption
- Costs reduction
- Extra-financial report

ESG criteria are a key element of your Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) strategy, and represent a major challenge because they include a truly responsible dimension:
-
Environmental criteria: management of energy consumption of all points of sale, waste and pollution management, reduction of carbon footprint.
-
Social criteria: working conditions for employees, meeting the expectations of consumers and investors, optimizing the supply chain.
-
Governance criteria: organizational structure of the company (independence of the board of directors, presence of an audit committee), tax strategy and level of compensation.
Good to know: SRI strategy is not limited to financial investment, as it is based on sustainable development and social issues. In fact, it takes the form of social and environmental criteria specific to the ESG strategy, as well as ethical investments (exclusion funds).
For your SRI strategy and the management of your ESG criteria, Energisme intervenes at several levels: the collection of energy data, the reduction of energy consumption, the reduction of charges as well as the simplification and harmonization of your CSR reporting.
