Bilendi publishes its second ESG report

Paris, 16 July 2024 - Bilendi, a European leader in research technology and data, announces the publication of its second ESG report.

Following Bilendi's first ESG report published in December 2022, this new report highlights the Group's approach to Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) by combining commitments and actions around two key priorities: promoting sustainable economic growth and strengthening trust and security within our Group's companies.

Bilendi's ESG is fully integrated into the Group's business and strategy and forms part of its DNA. It is structured around 4 key commitments that are explored in greater detail in the report:

  • Ensuring data quality, security and integrity
  • Conduct business ethically and responsibly
  • Giving employees the means to develop
  • Limiting Bilendi's environmental impact

In 2023, Bilendi took a number of steps to meet the commitments it has set itself, including the introduction of an anti-corruption and business ethics charter, a whistleblowing policy in Germany, France and the UK, financial donations during the earthquake in Turkey and Syria and pro bono studies to support projects.

Bilendi has also defined new indicators that will be updated regularly to constantly improve the Group's performance. These include:

  • Giving our employees the means to develop. In 2023, 87% of the workforce have had an individual annual appraisal interview;
  • Encouraging employee satisfaction and development. In 2023, the rate of employee departures was 16%, well below the average standard rate for its sector;
  • Promote gender diversity within the Group. In 2023, the proportion of women in the workforce was 47%.

Finally, the Group has a mission: To collect and process reliable data, in an ethical manner, from consumers, citizens, patients, professionals, etc., for use by researchers to gain a better understanding of society, and by economic and political players to help them make informed decisions.

Commenting on the new report, Marc Bidou (Chairman, CEO and founder of Bilendi) said: "Since the creation of Bilendi, our Environment, Social and Governance approach has never been just a simple
