• +16 points above its sector benchmark

DELFINGEN INDUSTRY (DELFINGEN), leader in wiring protection solutions for the automotive and industrial markets, has been honored by Ethifinance for its good ESG performance in 2023, and awarded with a silver medal.

The company obtained a score of 65/100, a clear improvement compared with 2022 (+8 points). It ranked 35^th out of 400 companies assessed in its sector (consumer discretionary) and 84^th out of more than 500 companies assessed in its revenue category (between 150 and 500 million euros).

The constant improvement in DELFINGEN's rating over the last three years underlines the company's constant and historic commitment to social and societal responsibility, as well as environmental issues:

Presence of a Corporate Foundation	Definition of decarbonization strategy
Strong governance systems	Societal orientations and well-being at work.

On this occasion, Gérald Streit, Chairman and CEO of DELFINGEN declared: « The improvement in our rating demonstrates the daily commitment of the entire Group to seeking excellence in the various areas of CSR, in line with the historic values that define the DELFINGEN Group. As a family-owned company, DELFINGEN combines the pursuit of performance, the sustainability of its activities, the limitation of environmental impacts and a profound respect for people ». As CSR Global Lead, Pierre LE MOEL comments: « I'm proud to work on a committee made up of key representatives from various departments (HR, Ecological Transition, Purchasing, etc.). Together, we are working to spread the Group's CSR commitments throughout the organization, and the improvement in our ESG rating reflects this action. »

EthiFinance ESG Ratings, the non-financial rating agency of the EthiFinance Group, assessescompanies according to some 140 criteria divided into four main categories: environment, social, governance, and external stakeholders.

DELFINGEN has also earned two further ratings that demonstrate its determination to integrate all ESG-related issues into its management policy:

• A bronze medal from Ecovadis, which assesses the sustainable development performance of suppliers on behalf of contractors;
• A C rating from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), for its action against climate change, obtained on the Group's first participation in this ranking. CDP is a not-for-profit organisation that assesses the climate actions of companies worldwide.
