Stormshield, a leading European player in the cybersecurity market, announces the acquisition of its second Positive Company® star. This French label, recognised at European level, rewards the company’s CSR commitment and its ambitions in this field.
In March 2023, Stormshield launched a strategic approach to obtain the Positive Company® CSR label, which recognises ambitious companies in terms of sustainability and supports them in transitioning towards practices that are more respectful of the environment, society, humanity, and life. As a result, Stormshield earned its first star, marking a milestone in its journey. Next, in 2023, the company completed its carbon assessment. This crucial step for obtaining the second star has just been validated with a score of 60.56/100 – an improvement of nearly 6 points.
Investment and progress in CSR initiatives
For this second star, Stormshield was again evaluated on five CSR themes: governance, environment, activity, societal, and social. The company had to conduct a self-assessment involving 200 questions and provide irrefutable evidence to meet the audit requirements. Additionally, an anonymous survey was conducted among its stakeholders: employees, clients, and suppliers.
Key figures from the survey include:
- 70% response rate among employees, showing a strong level of engagement on the subject.
- 85% of employees recommend Stormshield as an employer.
- 88% of employees feel that the company offers a good work-life balance.
- 100% of suppliers consider Stormshield a responsible company.
- 94% of clients are willing to recommend Stormshield’s services.
A further decisive step in the CSR approach
“Within our CSR approach, as we seek to continue on our positive trajectory, we are committed to continuing to establish practical action plans and rigorously monitor them, says Sylvie Blondel, HR Director at Stormshield. The strong involvement of our stakeholders reflects the maturity of our philosophy and of the actions implemented in the field. We will continue to involve all employees in this collective commitment to improve our social, societal, and environmental responsibility.”
Recognised as a trusted company by its employees and stakeholders, Stormshield views obtaining this star as a further decisive step that encourages it to continue its CSR efforts in the coming years. Beyond striving for flawless cybersecurity, with the primary ambition of producing innovative and high-performing technological solutions, it is evident that the social, societal, and ecological impacts of these solutions are an integral part of its concerns and strategy.
