ESG

A BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION JOURNEY

Sustainability,
social and environmental
responsibility

Absolute priority to environmental, social and governance issues

A company’s success is not measured only by its financial results, but also by its commitment towards society and the future of our planet.

Adoption of ESG standards is a current trend in large companies worldwide, but Ascenty has been going it for years. For us, commitment to best practices in environmental, social and governance issues is an absolute priority.

2022 Sustainability, Social and Governance Report (ESG)

In 2022, we will expand our Integrated Management System (SGI), implementing, managing and certifying three new management areas: Quality Management, Business Continuity Management, Occupational Health and Safety Management.

This puts us at a high level when it comes to focusing and prioritizing an ESG conduct.

In this report, we have gathered our main actions and results related to ESG. We believe that, more than ever, these actions should guide our business and performance.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS

Use of natural resources, greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, methane gas), energy efficiency, pollution, effluent and waste management.

SOCIAL FACTORS

Work relations and policies, inclusion and diversity, employee engagement, workforce qualification, human rights, relationship with communities, data protection and privacy

WORKING IN BENEFIT OF SOCIETY

With the community’s well-being in mind, we rolled out some positive initiatives such as the incentive to the municipal young apprentice program.

The goal of this program is to offer professional work positions to young men and women who would otherwise hardly have this kind of opportunity, in addition to offering professional training.

ETHICS AND TRANSPARENCY ABOVE ALL

Here at Ascenty, we value transparency in our business and ethics in our conduct, always encouraging our employees, suppliers, third parties to follow the very best principles. Ascenty makes its code of ethics and conduct available to everyone.
