I. Message from the CEO“We are delighted to publish our second annual Corporate Social Responsibility report. There is always room to do more, but the concept of ‘giving back more than we take’ has been ingrained in our culture from our company’s formation and we are proud of what our people continue to achieve in this area. We are driving forward with initiatives on diversity, environmental impact and knowledge sharing, alongside local activities to support the communities in which we work. As we continue to grow as a business, our responsibility and desire to understand and take action on Criteo’s effects on environmental and social wellbeing grows too.”
II. IntroductionEmployees who work at Criteo believe that their company’s activities and decision have an impact on society, the environment and the employees themselves. Criteo aims to foster economic growth while at the same time reducing negative social and environmental impacts by identifying potential risks and taking action. This report provides an overview of Criteo’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices and initiatives, including those specified in article R. 225-102-1 of the French Commercial Code. The following chapter presents Criteo’s workforce-related, social and environmental impacts as well as measures taken to strengthen its sustainable development commitment. The reporting period covers January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017. As the company comprises a large number of offices and legal entities, collecting exhaustive and reliable information (such as waste volumes, electricity and water consumption) may be difficult for smaller offices. Therefore Criteo has opted to slightly reduce the scope of the quantitative information enclosed in this CSR report to its largest legal entities, i.e. those who are financially linked to a data center infrastructure or those with more than 50 employees. The related CSR reporting scope is provided within the report. Criteo’s goal is to use the experience gained in preparing this report to gradually extend the reporting scope until it matches Criteo’s consolidated financial scope. The reporting scope has extended for 2017 compared to 2016 and a continuous effort will be made for subsequent financial years. The information presented hereafter was collected from various departments or external third parties. A methodological note is provided in chapter V. III. Criteo’s business modelCriteo is a global leader in commerce marketing, building the highest performing and open commerce marketing ecosystem to drive profits and sales for retailers and brands. Criteo partners with more than 18,000 customers and thousands of publishers across the globe to deliver performance at scale by connecting shoppers to the things they need and love. |
