Discover the 5th edition of the GreenYellow CSR Report!
In 2023, GreenYellow confirms its CSR maturity: Ecovadis Gold Medal since 2020, and reinforces its ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) commitments, in particular with the definition of carbon neutrality trajectories assessed A- by the CDP, a feminization of the organization that is approaching 40%, an HSE culture aligned with European standards and the integration of its peers on a platform pooling supplier audits.
This new report crystallizes 17 years of sustained commitment to sustainable development. It highlights our concrete actions carried out around the world and evaluated by clear indicators.
In this report, we present in detail the expression of the 4 pillars of our CSR policy:
#01 Acting responsibly towards the environment
#02 Supporting the development of local institutions and populations
#03 Establishing sustainable, ethical and transparent partnerships
#04 Developing and enhancing our teams while ensuring their health and safety
With this fifth edition, we wish to continue the annual meeting with all our stakeholders that we have established over the last 5 years.

CSR AT THE HEART OF THE GREENYELLOW MODEL
“Avoiding useless kWh, combined with locally produced green energy: such is our core business. We believe our operating model is robust and virtuous, and we use it every day to achieve our corporate responsibility. It is part of our mission to share the value we create with all our stakeholders, wherever we operate.”
Otmane Hajji, President and founder of GreenYellow
GreenYellow, a committed accelerator to the Energy Transition for all our stakeholders
Since its creation in 2007, GreenYellow has been committed to meeting the challenges of the energy transition – consuming less, consuming better!
Our very DNA is imbued with environmental and societal responsibilities. Our dual vocation, economic and environmental, enables us to play an essential role as a key partner for our clients, suppliers and investors.
During these 17 years of activity and growth, the relevance of our approach has been confirmed. We favour a smart energy mix that promotes the local production of green energy while saving energy.
At GreenYellow, we take great pride in being, in our own small way, ambassador and player in a sustainable development project. Our teams see the future in the long term, which motivates them all the more to add their stone to the edifice of the energy transition.
In line with our commitment to protecting the environment and combating global warming, we are actively contributing to achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and in particular goals #7 (clean, affordable energy) and #13 (combating climate change).
