The network of CSR representatives: essential partners for our approach in the territories

BEST 2027: CSR and the energy transition, key drivers of our new strategic plan
In 2025, its centenary year, Heppner launched its new strategic plan BEST 2027, an ambitious roadmap focused on internationalisation, digitalisation and energy transition, with the goal of achieving an annual turnover of 1.3 billion euros within two years.
Heppner’s CSR and energy transition strategy is driven by a clear objective: ensure our long-term sustainability and position the Group as an enterprise that is committed at every level, measuring its impacts and managing its undertakings with the overriding goal of reducing its carbon footprint and making a positive social impact.
To achieve this, we are focusing our efforts on 5 key areas:
- narrow the gap between France and the other countries;
- concentrate on projects that maximise impact on CO2 reductions;
- create value for all stakeholders and generate economies through our CSR and energy transition strategy;
- put in place a data-driven process for monitoring the energy transition programme;
- show our commitment at all levels of the company and to all stakeholders.
With a score of 79/100 and the Silver EcoVadis distinction, Heppner is one of the top 2% of its industry’s highest-performing companies worldwide, achieving a 4-point increase in one year and 25 points since 2020, mirroring our ambition to improve constantly and aim for excellence. This result is also grounded in a sincere commitment, embodied in the voluntary annual audit of our ESG indicators. This audit guarantees the reliability of our methods, the quality of our reporting, and the robustness of our data.
Heppner certified SILVER ECOVADIS
Certified SILVER ECOVADIS in 2025, Heppner has improved its rating by 4 points since 2024, with a score of 79/100. Heppner ranks among the top 6% of the highest-rated companies assessed by the organisation (all industries taken together) and among the top 2% in the transport industry.
Voluntary ESG audit
In 2025, Heppner repeated the audit of its ESG reporting to include 2024.
Covering seven ESG indicators, the assignment, which was commissioned to Crowe HAF, an auditor accredited by H2A, with the support of Sustainable Metrics, aimed to verify the compliance and accuracy of the various indicators examined in order to strengthen external credibility, prepare for CSRD compliance and support the Group’s climate ambitions.
The exercise enabled it to clarify methods, validate reporting practices and confirm the robustness of critical data.
