MONTREAL, Oct. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Explorance, the leading Journey Analytics solutions provider, announces an EV Score™ in the top 26th percentile of the computer programming, consultancy, and related activities industry. The assessment, conducted by internationally-acclaimed EcoVadis, reaffirms existing confidence in Explorance for clients and prospects who value Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) compliance and sustainability.
CSR is more than regulatory compliance. It recognizes the need for a company to operate in a socially and environmentally conscious manner as part of maintaining healthy and transparent relationships with its stakeholders. "This need for transparency and accountability is only going to increase as it translates into a competitive advantage in the marketplace with a strong reassurance of high levels of information disclosure," says Samer Saab, CEO of Explorance. "This honesty and openness to share areas in need of improvement are indicative of an organization taking measures to foster longevity for all parties involved."
With a strict methodology designed to assess companies' policies and actions against benchmarks, EcoVadis is the authority in providing a scorecard, which gives insight into environmental, social, and ethical risks on a global scale. Following thorough document analysis and data extraction, they compiled data from over 100,000 sources ranging from media, government, nonprofits and more, to ensure a diverse and reliable range of external stakeholders. The four scorecard themes include: environment, labor and human rights, sustainable procurement, and ethics. These are further broken down into 21 criteria, including energy consumption, biodiversity, local and accidental pollution, customer and employee health and safety, diversity, discrimination and harassment, and suppliers' social and environmental practices.
Performance results under the environmental theme are indicative of Explorance's success in reducing CO2 emissions from transportation, as well as energy consumption of its IT infrastructure. With high sensitivity to labor and human rights, Explorance excels in healthcare coverage of employees, providing unlimited leave time, childcare services or allowances, and reporting on its percentage of women in top executive positions. Regarding ethics, Explorance is identified as employing strong measures to protect third party data from unauthorized access, as well as audit control procedures to prevent security breaches. These approaches to analyzing a company's themes and criteria are strengthened by EcoVadis' adherence to international CSR standards, including the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standard and the Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies (CERES) principles.
