JEMS has just received the GOLD EcoVadis 2024 label, a leading international organisation for the assessment of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This prestigious label places JEMS in the top 5% of companies assessed, thus validating its actions in terms of environment, ethics, human rights, and responsible purchasing. This distinction rewards JEMS' commitment to sustainable development and the responsible management of its activities.
The GOLD label awarded to JEMS is the result of a rigorous assessment across four key pillars: the environment, human and social rights, ethics, and responsible purchasing. With an overall score of 73/100, JEMS positions itself in the 95th percentile companies rated by EcoVadis. This demonstrates JEMS' commitment to reducing its environmental impact and improving its social and ethical practices.
JEMS has achieved an exceptional score of 80/100 for its environmental initiatives. The company has implemented ambitious policies aimed at reducing waste, optimising energy consumption, and decreasing its greenhouse gas emissions. JEMS stands out particularly for its clear and measurable quantitative objectives, supported by concrete actions, such as waste management and the integration of renewable energies. Furthermore, its commitment to international initiatives, such as Science Based Targets, illustrates its determination to contribute actively to the fight against climate change.
In terms of human and social rights, JEMS scored 70/100. This reflects the strength of its policies in favour of diversity, inclusion, and employee well-being.

Monitoring procedures, such as whistleblower systems to report any behaviour contrary to its ethical values, help maintain a high level of vigilance.
Finally, although the assessment on responsible purchasing is improving with a score of 60/100, JEMS shows notable progress.
