A subsidiary of the EthiFinance group, Gaïa Research is the benchmark rating agency for the extra-financial rating of companies listed on European markets. Gaïa Research covers more than 2,300 European companies operating in various sectors of activity according to a benchmark of around 175 ESG indicators divided into 4 pillars: Governance, Social, Environment, and External Stakeholders. This evaluation thus allows the constitution of a group of peers offering a demanding point of reference.

At the end of the Gaïa 2022 campaign, Obiz

obtains an overall score of 72/100, for an average sector benchmark score (42 companies in a sector and size equivalent to those of the company) of 58/100, i.e. an outperformance of +14 points.

Thanks to the continuous development of its ESG policy, Obiz

improved its rating by +4 points compared to the previous year (68/100 at the end of the Gaïa 2021 campaign).

Bonus of 0.1% on Arkea’s “PACT” impact loan thanks to this ESG performance

As part of the financing of the acquisition of Adelya©, Obiz

took out a “PACT” impact loan with Arkea Banque Entreprises et Institutionnels. This financing provides for an interest rate bonus, which can lead to savings of up to 20% on financial costs, depending on the annual progress in terms of CSR, measured by Ethifinance. The integration of this financing aims to improve Obiz’s CSR approach and strategy

with the ambition of combining financial and extra-financial performance.

Thus, on the strength of its good extra-financial performance, Obiz

^©
