Today, I would like to present to you an infographic that highlights the importance of
sustainable development and corporate social responsibility (RSE) in the business world. The
infographic is divided into three parts.

Firstly, we must acknowledge the problem at hand. The United Nations has set 17 global
goals that aim to achieve sustainable development by 2030. However, obtaining indicators on
a company's involvement in sustainable development has proven difficult. Sustainable
development is the essential pillar of the 17 global goals. For instance, we have two plots
that illustrate the pollution levels of different companies. As we can see, it is challenging to
obtain large information about a company's engagement in sustainable development. This is
where Ecovadis comes in, as they allow for the RSE evaluation of companies.

Secondly, Ecovadis uses big data to evaluate a company's RSE. By gathering information on a
company's practices, policies, and performance, Ecovadis creates a comprehensive report
that scores the company's RSE performance. As you can see here, (5 ronds)
Those grades allow the company to see its position between various other companies,
whether it can be dealing with the same sector or not.
Ecovadis has graduated so far ninety thousand (ta-ou-zend) companies. Keeping helping
them grow, with the objective to obtain better RSE grades and being more respectful of
sustainable development.

Thirdly, the RSE rating provided by Ecovadis allows companies to improve their sustainability
practices. The report identifies areas where the company can make improvements, and the
company can use this information to implement changes that will lead to a better RSE rating,
such as the policies used in the companies, the retailers and others.

In conclusion, it is important to acknowledge the significance of sustainable development
and corporate social responsibility in the business world. Ecovadis' RSE evaluation system
plays a crucial role in ensuring that companies are held accountable for their actions and
continuously work towards improving their sustainability practices.
