Sustainability

A future built on trade, sustainable for the environment and community

Sustainability
ESG Governance

We have a specified ESG Committee chaired by our CFO Claus Gramlich-Eicher. This Committee structures our various ESG initiatives. It consists of members of our leadership representing our business areas and group functions. In addition we have a dedicated Head of ESG to promote, drive, and coordinate our ESG initiatives globally and to oversee the operational management of sustainability initiatives across our various international businesses. In May 2024 we added a specific ESG reporting function.

 

Atradius’ sustainability initiatives and reporting are aligned with our parent company GCO (Grupo Catalana Occidente). The GCO Sustainability Master Plan 2024-2026 and the GCO 2023 sustainability report are included in the related documents section at the bottom of this page.

Our Sustainability Master Plan 2024-2026

In 2023, together with our parent company (GCO) we carried out a Double Materiality Analysis to identify the most relevant aspects to be addressed in our strategy.

We are building our Sustainability Master Plan on four pillars and ten strategic lines. Each pillar holds a set of actions in line with the GCO Sustainability Master Plan 2024-2026. Starting in 2024, over the next three years we will work on the following steps:

Sustainable Business

We aim to integrate sustainability in the development of our products and services by:

Social Commitment

We will track and report on our progress.

 

Our sustainability alliances

We support the ten principles of United Nations Global Compact on human rights, labour conditions, the environment and anti-corruption and report on this via our parent company GCO.

As part of GCO, Atradius is also a signatory to the UNEP-FI Principles for Sustainable Insurance and UNPRI Principles for Responsible Investment.

 

Our sustainability ratings

In August 2024, EcoVadis awarded Atradius a Committed Badge in recognition of our sustainability achievements (score of 53, up from 50 in 2023), placing us in the top 49 percent of companies assessed by EcoVadis.

Atradius’ ESG Credit Impact Score from Moody’s is neutral-to-low (CIS-2). This reflects the limited credit impact of Environmental and Social risks on our financial strength rating (‘A1’ outlook stable).

The sustainability rating of GCO is available through the GCO website.
