Fnac Darty receives A- grade from the CDP, reflecting its commitment to integrating climate issues into its strategy Everyday

Fnac Darty, a European leader in the retail of entertainment and leisure products, consumer electronics and domestic appliances, has been awarded an A- grade for its eighth contribution to the climate questionnaire distributed by CDP, a non-profit organization that singles out the world's most active companies in the fight against climate change, significantly improving its score compared to last year (C). With a score above the average of European companies (B) and above the average of the specialized retail sector (B-), Fnac Darty has integrated the "Leadership" category for the first time.

Enrique Martinez, Chief Executive Officer of Fnac Darty, declared: « We are proud to report this strong improvement in our CDP grade, which rewards the constant efforts made by our teams to integrate climate issues into all of the company's businesses. Our Group is committed to a profound transformation of its business model and has placed sustainability at the heart of its strategic plan Everyday. With this commitment, Fnac Darty becomes a major player in the ecological transition of the retail world ».

Fnac Darty's CSR approach is based on five pillars: sustainable consumption, climate protection, business ethics, territories and culture, and human capital.

 

With regard to its environmental strategy, the Group has set itself a quantified objective of reducing its CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030, compared to 2019 levels. The scope defined at Group level concerns transport, direct and indirect emissions, and site energy.

 

Fnac Darty has strengthened its governance to achieve this objective and to strategically address climate issues. Acknowledged within several bodies, including a CSR Committee attached to the Board of Directors, these issues have been analyzed and steered by a Climate Committee since 2019. This Committee monitors trends in the CO2 emissions generated by its activities, drafts action plans, and monitors roadmaps of the various operational sectors, and works on extending the low-carbon strategy to other indirect emissions stations.
