CSR policy: BOOSTHEAT leads its sector

Vénissieux, 3 September 2019

In June, as part of a continuous improvement approach to social and environmental responsibility (CSR), BOOSTHEAT sought the expertise of EthiFinance, an independent extra-financial ratings agency. EthiFinance, which specialises in the management of sustainability-related risks and opportunities, awarded BOOSTHEAT an overall score of 67/100, making it a “Sustainable leader”.

Maturité esg

An “advanced” level of ESG1 maturity and a “major” sustainable development opportunity, despite being founded only recently

To assess BOOSTHEAT’s performance, EthiFinance referred to the Gaïa Rating company-oriented ESG maturity methodology, and to the United Nations’ product-oriented Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

28 points de plus / 2017

For the first part of the assessment, EthiFinance looked at four themes: governance, social, environment and external stakeholders. With an overall score of 58/1002, corresponding to an “advanced” level of ESG maturity, BOOSTHEAT is 15 points ahead of the average achieved by companies in its business sector. BOOSTHEAT has also increased its score by 28 points relative to 2017 across all rating themes. The company scored highly on the social theme (70/100) and the external stakeholders theme (64/100), particularly regarding equal opportunities, health and safety, relations with suppliers, customers and civil society, and product liability.

With a product portfolio that is entirely focused on energy transition, the second part of the assessment found that BOOSTHEAT is making a “major contribution” in terms of sustainable development opportunities, with a score of 75/100.

The BOOSTHEAT.20 boiler is therefore regarded as an efficient solution, and one that addresses the UN’s seventh Sustainable Development Goal, which involves ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.

The UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals are a call to action for all countries, aiming to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They are a response to global sustainability challenges, particularly those related to climate, biodiversity, energy, water, poverty, inequality, prosperity, peace and justice.

« BOOSTHEAT is not just an extremely energy-efficient product, but a company that has developed and continues to grow around a shared philosophy. We are delighted with these results, and we remain focused on the path ahead. » Luc Jacquet, CEO and co-founder of BOOSTHEAT

The rating process enabled BOOSTHEAT to identify areas for future improvement, particularly in the workforce-related and HR theme, which is crucial for the company.
