Environment, CSR and Ethics

Non-financial performance: a lever for measurable value-creation

Since integrating non-financial criteria in its company rating methodology in 2021, the Banque de France has corroborated a phenomenon already observed by many financial analysts. The financial performance of organisations with a well-established CSR approach is 13% higher on average, according to a comparative survey conducted by the Harvard Business School for the years from 2018 to 2022.

Your sustainability report becomes a strategic asset, the quality of which directly affects the conditions of your access to bank financing and assessment of your risk profile by institutional investors.

Translation and CSR: cutting-edge expertise dedicated to your international development

International regulatory compliance

· The disparity in CSR reporting requirements between different jurisdictions is growing, with legislation evolving at an unprecedented pace.

· The European corporate sustainability reporting directive (CSRD), applicable since 2023, makes it mandatory for comprehensive sustainability reports to be translated into the language of each market in which your business operates.

· Imprecise translation could give rise to non-compliances, leading to substantial financial penalties of up to 4% of global annual revenue.

Technical and scientific rigour

· Environmental reports are typically replete with quantitative data and performance indicators, the translation of which requires thorough knowledge of the equivalent international metrics.

· Any inaccuracy in translation could misrepresent the scope of your pledges and achievements, and compromise your competitive position in the global arena of non-financial performance.

· The input of translators with dual linguistic and technical expertise in the field of sustainability is essential for accurate transposition of normative terminology specific to international standards (ISO 14001, ISO 26000, GRI Standards and SASB).

Credibility and appeal for institutional investors

· According to the latest Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) study from 2023, 78% of institutional fund managers now consider that environmental, social and governance criteria are decisive factors in allocating their investments.

· The consistency and exactitude of your non-financial communication, maintained across all your translated documents, represent a significant lever for attracting international financial operators.

· Asset management firms and sovereign funds unfailingly require translations that comply scrupulously with the technical nomenclature specific to each jurisdiction, and are an indispensable condition for building a lasting fiduciary relationship.
