Ayvens excels in sustainability ratings with high ESG scores

We recognize the paramount importance of external ratings and perspectives on our ESG performance. They serve as invaluable sources of benchmark and progress and provide us with a neutral view on our ESG performance, guiding our efforts towards continuous improvement.

Sustainalytics, a trusted evaluator for both debt and equity investors, has awarded Ayvens with a score of 10.9, showcasing a remarkable improvement of 6 points from our previous rating (ALD SA)! The score rates risk, and the lower the score the better. This places us at an impressive #3 out of 399 companies in the Transportation sector, highlighting our dedication to sustainability within our industry.

Sustainalytics evaluates the sustainability practices of publicly listed companies, focusing on their environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) performance.

Another rating Ayvens has been awarded is the Climate rating provided by CDP, that serves as a crucial metric utilised by both investors and clients in their supplier selection processes. The CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) is an international non-profit organisation that helps companies disclose their environmental impact. Ayvens (ALD SA) has maintained its score of B, aligning with the European average and surpassing the sector average in Trading, Wholesale, Distribution, Rental & Leasing, which sits at C. Our ongoing Science Based Target initiative is poised to bolster Ayvens' efforts in this regard for the upcoming year, and we look forward to being ranked even higher.
